Hinata's Ramen Feat is Based on an Actual Eating Challenge

If you think these little reviews are small then it's because I hope to revisit the characters again later to maybe talk about something else, so expect a few of them to make reappearances later on, for now we start with some fact hunting.

Hinata Hyuuga to most is the shy girl who loves Naruto and eventually became his wife, but looking at her history, the moments we do get from her including her shadow like dance on the water, her brave attempt at fighting Pain, her big moment of finally becoming Naruto's true love and her insatiable appetite for Ramen.
Naruto's affinity for ramen created a couple of one off episodes centering around a ramen eating contest where a select group of characters battle it out by consuming as many bowls of Ramen as possible, the winner is not Chouji whose whole jutsu revolves around eating, it's not Kiba who likely has the appetite of an animal and it's not Naruto who pretty much eats it every day, it's actually Hinata.
This feat pays homage to a real life Ramen eating challenge in a century old Ramen shop called Azumaya, the challenge is to consume as many small bowls of Wanko Soba Noodles, for context 15 small bowls equals 1 standard size.
The current world record is 570 bowls set by a Japanese woman of whom the owner described in his own words "toothpick thin" it's mind boggling to think that anyone could consume that much.
For context Hinata's equivalent record would be 690 bowls after a small bit of math, but what really can be taken from this is that it's always the person you least suspect beating these challenges and this little bit of Japanese history inspired this popular Naruto gag.
