5 Facts You Don’t Need to Know About Hot Dogs
1. By definition, hot dogs are technically a type of sausage. But most people don’t think of them as sausages even though they are both cylindrical meat tubes of deliciousness.
2. We Americans love hot dogs (sausages) even more than we love doughnuts. So much so that we eat them to the tune of a staggering 20 billion per year.
3. That 20 billion weiners works out to about 70 hot dogs per person per year. So on average, every American eats more than one hot dog per week.
4. If you think 70 hot dogs per year sounds like a lot, you’ve obviously never heard of Joey Chestnut, a competitive eater who has the world record for eating the most hotdogs. He ate 76 of the tubular protein-packed weiners (bun included) in just 10 minutes!
5. New York City residents spend almost 100 million dollars on hot dogs each year, more than any other city. However, Los Angeles City residents eat more hot dogs in total, a whopping 309 Million!
So many fun options. Thanks for including mine.
It was our pleasure, Barbara!
