Hot Dogs Endangered!

7 Billion!

That is the number of hot dogs that  are expected be senselessly consumed  between Memorial Day and Labor  Day.

Sure, they are one of America’s hottest  icons (insert Apple Pie and Baseball  here) but at what price to the overall food consumption “circle of life?”

Do hot dogs not have feelings too? Are  they not consumed at such an alarming  rate that it jeopardizes the stability of  the worldwide mustard or sauerkraut trade?

Why do hot dog buns come in packs of twelve while hot dogs come in packs of ten? *Sure it bothers some of us, but of the 50,000 consumer letters Oscar Mayer gets each year, only about 15 ever mention this as a concern.

I think Bratwurst run a close second in overall “dog like” consumption – but only if the Green Bay Packers are playing that weekend.

The ACLU and like organizations need to address these hot dog injustices before it gets out of control – Fourth of July is just around the corner!
