 Everything is bigger in Texas and the Rangers' new Champion Dog is no exception. The two foot hot dog with one pound of meat is the latest addition to the Sportservice menu at Rangers Ballpark. The whopping wiener is topped with chili, sautéed onions and shredded cheese. It may be a bit pricey at $26 but at two feet, you could feed the whole family. Heck you could feed an entire ball team. The concessionaires are planning on the Champion Dog being a big hit with fans. So if you are planning to pick up a dog at the ball park, make sure to bring your wallet and maybe a fork...lift that is.

gota go phillies on
If you're voluntarily eating this crud then yeah, I can kinda see why nobody wants to pay for other people's healthcare in the States.
But seriously, $26 for something that cost probably $2.50 in ingredients. Pretty ballsy of the concession people.
delicious looking, but not worth 26 bucks. better be a beef dog
Texas. It figures. This is beyond disgusting. Hopefully they have paramedics standing by.
I got one these and brought back to my seat (lots of stares) anyway, upon my first bite a huge gob of ketchup and mustard plopped on this guy's head in front me. Good thing I had lot's of napkins- lol
I feel sick and I haven't even smelled it. Sickening!!
We will add some Bacon and Old Bay Seasoning for visitors....unless your a Mets or Yankee's fan.
So good it make your heart skip a beat.
AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY TEXAS HAVE SO MANY FAT GIRLS. FILL IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mississippi is the fattest state in the U.S. according to the last survey.
Silver Springs State Park in Ocala area Florida, paid that for two hot dogs and two cokes. never again! next time I will bring food and eat it in the car in the parking lot.
I went to the Star Theater in Souhfield, Michigan on Monday. They wanted $15 for 1 hotdog, 1 small bag of chips,and a soda. Eat before you go to the movie, or after the movie.
Umm, that's not shredded cheese. It looks more like nacho cheese which wouldn't cut if for $26.
Either that or Cheez Whiz.
Hell, for $26 it better be made of Wagyu beef and be wrapped in bacon made from Kurobuta pork.
Its the American way. Eat more meat, get fat and die of heart disease.
It's probably made from "pink slime"
They're for Rangers fans. What would you expect?
$26 for a hot dog?
Was this a hot dog spec'ed by the Pentagon? Or even by NASA?
if i saw a dog that long i would eat it to
only if i could eat it between paris hiltons legs.
$26 for a fat laden hot dog? BULLS**T. The cost to the Rangers is under $3 for the entire hot dog....so they need to make a $23 profit from a fan who is already paying $8 for a cup of crap beer.......$35-$50 for a crappy seat......$15 to park.........$5 for a bag of peanuts........Lets not forget $10 for one of those big foam fingers. That is why I have not been to a baseball game in 12 years.
Have you seen what this thing really looks like? It's 2 feet long (a normal hotdog is what – maybe 5"?), covered in chili, cheese, jalapenos, etc. Yes, I'm sure it's VERY overpriced at $26, but cost to make them less than $3??! They have to get the dogs and buns made custom, they have a bit of custom packaging to hold them, plus you're talking about a lot of chili and cheese. I'd say the cost is more like around $10 (there's also a fair amount of labor putting these things together).
I could go to a nice restaurant and get a great meal for cheaper than that.
Just what America needs, Something to make their a$$ bigger.
for $26 that hotdog better vibrate too!
laughing my azz off!
depends on how many beers i had.
How many beers can you afford if one hot dog costs $26?
I think shaq's talking about how thinks he drunk has to be before he'd eat one.
Let me guess, the test subject for the latest penis enlargement drug was a hot dog?
In Russia, we don't eat *that* part of a dog.
in soviet russia, big hot dog eats you
That is the most disgusting hot dog I have ever seen.
You got that right, I'll take two!
I knew you gotta be rich to afford pro sports events, but here's one more sign of the times.
One of the few perks of being a Royals fan is cheap concessions. We have a whole line of one-pound hot dogs (half as long as this, but twice as thick) that look much more appetizing. And they're all beef, not some skinny Nathan's thing. The bacon bleu dog has bleu cheese crumbles, fresh fried bacon and diced red onions. There's a barbecue dog with pulled pork and cole slaw and real KC barbecue sauce (not that KC Masterpiece junk from California). They also have your standard CHicago style and New York style, etc. All of these footlong, one-pound dogs are $9, despite being the same amount of food as this $26 monstrosity.
Beef? Unless you made it yourself, it was likely processed and slurried and made out of pink slime.
So typical of a state that prides itself on thinking they must have everything bigger. The thing looks disgusting. I'm sure this will have families running to the ball park! It just adds to the list of big dumb Texans adding to their already big waistlines. Not to mention their over blown egos. What a bunch of buffoons! Secede already. The state is an embarrassment to itself and doesn't even know it or care.
STEVE!!! I live in Texas and I couldn't agree with you more!!! You hit the nail on the head with every word!! I HATE LIVING HERE!!! Someone take me back to the east coast!! PLEASE!!!!
Texas only wants people who want to be here. If you don't, no hard feelings, just move some where you can feel comfortable and call "home". Life is too short to live somewhere you don't want to.
Amen Martin!!!
Eh, take it easy. The girl probably is under 18 and living with her parents. Who doesn't hate where they live at that age.
Wait,Please, I NEED Your Vote.
Secede? Didn't the entire south attempt to do that once and got most of their young males obliterated for it. Yeah states can't secede, the federal government won't ever let them. Being a state in this country is like being a member of a gang. Once in, never out except in a body bag.
I look at that and all I can think is YUCK. I love hot dogs, but the fake cheese, too long monstrosity is not appetizing at any price. I'm sure some gluttons will convince themselves its a good deal. The park should offer a "value meal"- for $250.00, you can get one of these hot dogs, a small coke and a small bag of fries. I'm sure someone will be stupid enough to go for it.
I wouldn't pay that for a seat. Stuck in traffic for 3 hours round trip, over 100 degrees for most of the game and with over price beer, and other stuff, sweating my butt off. OR, I could watch it at home in HD in a comfortable temperature and have 15 feet to the bathroom and 25 to the fridge for a beer for under a buck. To go to a game I'd have to be helicoptered in and have an air conditioned suite ready that was fully stocked. And have the helicopter ready when the game is over.
Tom, you are SO RIGHT!!! It's like paying to be abused....
You betcha. And the helicopter gets rid of the parking nightmare.... especially when the heavens open just as you've walked out of the stadium. Then the rent-a-cops make all of the streets one-way and you have to drive miles out of your way just to get back to the interstate.
Take – me IN to the baaaallll gaaame...
Good one Tom ! agreed
Good stay at home and let us who actually enjoy the sights, sounds and flavors of the game to ourselves. I enjoy the atmosphere at the games and go to as many games during the season in the all you can eat right field porch. I pay $39 and get all the food i want when i want and how i want! I will be buying it and enjoy it!!!!
Looks like my wiener. Except mine is thicker and vinegar-y, but it still has cheese. Although, it is harder to walk around with. Oh wait........ are we talking about food?
@Bodhissatva Grow up. Those are the things you think and not post. I'm sure you jacked off just looking at this and your ween is probably the nub size of your thumb.
Like what you said was any better?
Dear lord, what a disgusting monument to quantity over quality, how typically Texan.
Jealousy does not become you. You're a Texas wannabe and you know it.
Uh, no there are very few Texan wanna be's. Only in the minds of most Texans. I personally escaped the place at the age of 19 after traveling to California and finding out how suffocating it was to actually be from Texas. Couldn't drag me back.
Is that a meal, or a Paris Hilton training video...
what a rip off
it's a long skinny hewbrew frank with a lame bun and velvetta. I would pay maybe 6.50 for that garbage. at 26 dollars it better be a thick 2 foot italian sausage with cream cheese and bacon and 2 beers....
considering regular sized dogs at most ball parks are b/t $5 & $8 to begin with, this is really not a bad deal for one that is 4 times the size
For 26 dollars and you can't get a bun the same length as the hot dog?
Ya'll need to fix it before I buy it.
Nope. To add insult to injury, we also have to live with them packaged as 10 hot dogs and 8 buns.
Then buy forty units at a time, or four packs of dogs and five bags of buns so that you will have equal numbers of buns and dogs.
Ed Zachary
Buy jumbos... they're 8 to a pack to match the buns.
Would I pay $26 for a hotdog? Yes.
Would I pay $26 for THAT hotdog? No.
"Why?" she asked naively.
A hotdog made with prime cuts of beef, imported vidalia onions, brie cheese, Israeli imported tomatoes, with a bun of freshly baked bread? That may be worth $26.
An elongated Nathan's hotdog? Sorry, maybe $8 tops.
Exactly.
"Prime cuts of beef"? You don't know a lot about hotdog makin', do you now.
There are "hot dogs" available made from very good meat. One local restaurant even offers a Kobe beef dog that will change your whole idea of "hot dog."
Hey – what do you think they do with roadkill in Texas? Some of those armadillos are rare!!!
Imported onions with a US trade name, imported tomaties that originated in North America – does "imported" make it taste better and is worth more $$$$?
Charlie
For $26 that had better be real cheese.
Cheese Whiz doesn't make holograms.
I take mine with mustard, chili, slaw and relish
I'm with you, but you can have my share of the chili. It's going to be messy enough w/o it. :-)
Get a grip people. Maybe 1% of ballpark visitors will even consider buying this. Of that group, maybe 10% will try to eat it themselves rather than share it with 1-3 people). Thus, out of the 36,000 people in attendance on any average gameday, maybe 36 people will try to down this thing themselves. It is not the end of mankind as we know it.
And people aren't "stupid" for paying $26 for a hot dog. They can justify the expense, probably because they can afford it. Living in a major city with all major professional sports, I might go to 2 events per year. I budget to spend some considerate money those days to have the full experience. It is an entertainment expense, not a sign of mental weakness.
Obviously I meant "considerable" cash, not considerate (preempt the grammar police who live to correct internet posters).
The word Internet is capitalized.
*snicker*
Why? It's not a name.
I don't know. It just is. Is it alive?
IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Word. Let's feed it. I'm jamming a PB&J sandwich into my CD-ROM drive right now.
Hey, man, The Dude abides....If I go to a sporting event, I'll easily drop $50-$75 on beer alone. Maybe even $100. After consuming all of that beer, there's no earthly reason to think twice about not spending $26 on a hot dog let alone another $50 for cab fare, another $200 on drinks and $500 on a hooker.
Don't forget the crying towels after your boys lose 22 – 0.
A standard hot dog with bun is about 300 calories. This thing is five times that long, so maybe 1500 calories. Add chilie and cheese and it might be 2000 or 2250 calories. That's a lot of calories. It about what a typical adult male should eat in one day. It's not something the average person would want to eat every day. But there's nothing absolutely wrong with the average person eating this entire dog in one sitting as long as he doesn't make a habit of it. It's a "spluge" food.
Personally, if I'm going to splurge $26 and 2250 calories, I think I'd want something else. But if this is how you want to splurge, then go for it.
Now all they have to do to improve it is deep fry it!
Who wants eat something at the ballpark in which over half of it ends up in your lap.
That's what she said ...
Yummy I always wanted to get a hot dog at a hockey game.
With this hot-dog, all I wanna do is zoom..zoom..zoom and boom..boom...boom....!
I guess they picked one of the dumber states to test market this in....they should also serve this up in Kentucky.
Actually they picked Texas because only a real man could down it.
Since there are no real men where YOU are, YOU are out in the cold once again. Pitty...
Go to Texas and educate yourself. Until then, don't get your panties in a wad over a clearly superior marketing plan.
This is no different than going to a movie theater... Also how people say owners are greedy and ripping off people... I have to say it is completely insane to say that... if you do not know... most ballparks allow your to bring your own food. So how is this a ripoff? It's just another thing any other ballpark will do to bring in some attraction. Same as what restaurants do, as you see on Man vs. Food... it's just part of the attraction. And for the person asking who are the Rangers... no not the NY Rangers, but the Texas Rangers the AL Champions for the last 2 years.
I never sausage an item! It's a weiner with me!
OO I got one, I got one: What is one question you will not be hearing about this hot dog??... IS IT KOSHER??
They are just introducing that hot dog so when some Rangers fan chokes on it, he or she will know how the Rangers felt last year when they choked in the World Series.
Nice shot, man.
Touche. Huge Rangers fan here, but I gotta admit that was pretty funny. That series still stings.
well, considering for 26.00 I can get a nice ribeye at almost any steak house, I'd say this is ridiculous. Or perhaps a case of beer and you'd have money left over. You'd have to be insane.
Not at a sporting event though. A single beer can cost up to and exceeding $10. Not saying I'd ever pay $26 for this, but it's at the ballpark and meant to be shared.
who are the rangers ?
Here's a good start ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Ranger_Division
The team that has been in the World Series the last two years.
And choked.
Both times. LOL
They didn't really choke against the Giants. Honestly... most fans, and I think the players themselves, were just happy to be there and still excited about sweeping (aka totally dominating) the Yankees.
I can't argue about last year though. That was heartbreaking.
My bad, it wasn't a sweep, but it was sweet.
The only Rangers that matter are the NY Rangers.
... to you ...
Bwaaa hahahaha. The idiots that skate around on an ice rink? Thanks for the laugh.
As opposed to the idiots standing around in a field trying to hit a tiny ball with a stick? Any sport will sound stupid if you simplify it that much.
22 multi-millionaires in a field, wearing plastic hats & shoulder pads that would make an 80's junkie sob, chasing after each other & ramrodding each other with their shoulders, just so they too can have a ball to play with.
WOW.. not only does that look disgusting. $26? you got to be an idiot to pay that... looking at that "thing" it's no wonder we are FAT and Unhealthy these days... some one should be charging them with attemted murder or something.
People share those things silly.
$26 is all??? One hotdog and a beer at RayJay cost me $20 dollars. That's a pretty good deal considering where you are buying it from.
true dat........true dat
Another rip off. I stopped going to the games. Greedy owners, no loyalty to players or fans. Millionaires playing for billionaires – I stopped caring about the pros. I'll watch college ball or the local high school.
+1
Greedy owners, why?, you are the one paying for it, voluntarily. No one is forcing anybody.
Solution: don't go to the games, watch it at home.
Sincerely,
Truesoy
Ummmmm, that's what he said. go back and re read his post.
Stand corrected.
Thanks.
'Merica!
f*ck yeah!!
They should have called it the John Holmes dog.
best comment of teh day!!!
I never go to any major league game unless I've eaten a full meal before I set foot on stadium property. Once you get inside, the rip offs begin and I refuse to be gouged beyond maybe a bag of peanuts and one soft drink. Any booze I drink is either before or after the game elsewhere. Any booze or food is always cheaper somewhere else.
Well, it DOES have ten inches on me.
An entire ball team?? With that measley thing?? I dont think so.
That hotdog would not be worth that price even if served up by hot topless Texas cheerleaders; but I do admit if that were the case I would go to more ball games.
Is this more healthy than brocolli??
Costco 1lb hotdog and a soda, $1.50
And yet, people will pay it.
You mean idiots will pay for it.
gotta pay those exorbitant ballplayer salaries...
So aaaall the players in all the other sports are paid a fair wage? Reality check! Table for one.
HAHAHAHA!! Thought I was the only one loved those....AND don't
leave out free refills on the drinkl...incl in price :)
Oh man, I need to go to Costco now... those really are the best.
Don't forget one of Costco's rotisserie chickens... $4.99 and they're HUGE!
A most moronic meal for the most moronic sports fans...the mindless Oakley wearing, crew-cut headed, inbred, tobacco-chewing redneck Chipper Jones wannabee idiot clone jock sniffing pro baseball fans who actually fork over their $$ to these dimwits who claim to be athletes. Please let football season begin already.
Same applies to football fans.
Ohh.. judging by your description of the fans I thought it was being offered at a football stadium
Enough Saturated Fat to kill a Rhino. A foot long has 29 grams of saturated fat and add in the Nitrates and this is a murder weapon! Not funny, when will we learn as a people?
It is meant to be shared between folks, now what folks decide to do after they get it is their business.
is it Kosher?
Don't think so – it doesn't appear to be circumcised.....
Too funny! :)
SSampson, how can you tell when elongated like that?
Champions of what exactly? Did the Rangers win a World Series in the off-season?
They are still the American League champions, even though they lost the world title bid.
I seriously doubt that a 2-foot long hotdog has one pound of actual meat in it. There is probably one ounce of meat and the rest are chemicals and fakeo meat.
cows lips and ears are in there
They have to do something with the pink slime now that McDonalds is no longer using it.
I love baseball.
If I were in Texas, I could find a $100 plane ticket to New York, buy a $20 ticket to see the Yankees play, buy twenty of America's best foot longs, and I'd be spending $240.
You'd be spending more than that on just ten of the ones at Rangers Ballpark...
If I were already in New York, went to a Yankees game for $20...I could buy forty foot long hot dogs if my budget was $260. That's four times more hot dogs.
*Fast Fact: It would cost you $260 for ten of the ones at Rangers Ballpark which is twenty feet worth of hot dogs. It would cost me $120 for twenty of the ones at Yankee Stadium which is twenty feet worth of hot dogs.
In Conclusion: This should be on Anderson Cooper's RidicuList, because this is just downright dumb!
I agree it's dumb. But the marketing wonks have decided it's worth a try. My first reaction is $26 for a hot dog? Are you out of your mind? Then I stopped and thought, "Hang on, 3 people could eat off this." $26 divided by 3 is $8 and change. Plus drink now it isn't all that bad. I still have to ask why? Why can't I buy a regular hot dog will all the same fixings for a reasonable price?
You can get into a Yankee's game for $20?
We don't have to go to New York to watch Yankees. Our streets are full of 'em. They been fleein' to Texas from up there for the last 30 years. And BTW, why on earth would anybody wanna go to New York City. It's crowded, dirty, everbody talks funny and nobody waves back.
"They been fleein' to Texas from up there for the last 30 years."
Hmmm....really...speaking as an ex-Texan why would I want to flee to one of the most drought ridden states in the union? In a couple years they still won't be believing in climate change and even the fire ants will be moving on to places with more water.
Cheapest ticket to New York from DAllas is $261.00, on a Tuesday, (Cheapest Day). You haven't flown in a while, have you!
Then the taxi is going to be at least $25.00 from LaGordia to the stadium. Ticket to get in, so on! Math not one of your things either!
Ron, looks like spelling isn't yours. LGA is "LaGuardia" airport
Actually it is "La Guardia". Two words.
With respect, Truth™, not according to their website. There's no space after "La"
http://www.panynj.gov/airports/laguardia.html
Truth flies into the Spanish section of Jamaica NY.
Actually, this one website, shows both...which is interesting...
http://www.ifly.com/la-guardia-airport
But for the record, if you are trying to get to Yankee Stadium, fly into Kennedy. LGA is much more appropriate if you want to see the Mets at Citi Field (actually right across the street)
Mets RULE!!!
Word.
Mike, I'm making a point.
Hasher, yeah thinking about it like that, it isn't all that bad. It would be good to try one time, but one time only lol. And yep, Yankee tickets can go I think even for ten or fifteen. I could be wrong, but I think the bleacher seating all the way in the back–across the outfield–are five dollars.
If I wanted to see the Yankees play I just go see them when they come to Arlington with all their bandwagon fans. A ticket to NYC is not $100 and they sell smaller hot dogs @ the Ballpark in Arlington. Just don't get those Dollar Dogs. They suck!
Yeah, but you'd have to watch the Yankees. Consider that and your great deal doesn't look so hot.
That would be a $35 hot dog at Yankee Stadium!
They are actually $6. You could buy four at Yankee Stadium and still save two bucks as opposed to the one at Rangers Ballpark.
Go to a baseball game. Spend $30 for a ticket, $20 for parking, watch 2 minutes of excitement crammed into 4 hours during which you can drink beer at $5 a pop and now, only in the great state of Texass, spend $26 for a lukewarm, soggy-buned, mustard-dripping tube of floor sweepings from the slaughterhouse.
They should pin your comment to the top, that's exactly what I was thinking.....Except beers are $10, parking is $15, Tickets are $50-100, sometimes even more. Wow, makes the dog sound cheap now.
Yes, other than the hotdog, I blew it on the pricing–as you might imagine, I have not been to a baseball game in a long time. But, it's the thought that counts, right?
Well, at least it's a better deal than a $75 ticket for 3 minutes of action crammed into 5 hours at a football game.
Baseball, Football, Basketball – all boring sports, but at least basketball requires some actual athleticism. If you want a REAL sport, play (or watch) water polo. Toughest (and best) sport in the world. Water polo players are the most likely to pass the Navy Seal training of *any* athlete.
Hey , This is a GREAT Country or What , and if you work hard maybe , just maybe you can enjoy yourself and indulge for what you work for and be Part of a Great Family time and maybe you could even make a Friend or Two,maybe..or just stay home and watch on TV and complaint about the commercials or your week old Tortilla Chips..Get out and LIVE come to TEXAS and Really enjoy your life...
That last sentence is definitely an oxymoron.
That looks simply gross....
I'll take 3!
I'll take 3!
Do you REALLY need it, fat boy?
Wow !
That looks like a major Heart Attack waiting to happen after you devour it (if you can even finish HALF of it !).
And $26.00 ?! Yeesh ! NO thanks....Who in their right mind would actually buy this ?
We are talking about sports fanatics... "right mind" has no place here.
YUM! I'd buy this in a second, eat it, and get another. p.s., i'm in my right mind.
That's probably why you weigh 350lbs you gross slob!
One more reason why I stopped going to sporting events. With $26 bucks I can have dinner at the Outback, including a drink and dessert and still have enough for a tip
Agreed,
I'll keep my $26 thaks, just one more thing to not waste money on at ball games.
Outback sucks.
Outback Rocks!
I'll have a Doogie's 2 Footer and save myself a bunch of money!
YOU ARE NOT supposed to eat the hole thing! You eat only the first half, then sit on the other half to remind yourself of how you were ripped off.
I would rather spend that at a Michelin rated restaurant....
You'd rather eat dinner at a Michelin-rated restaurant than eat dinner at a ball park? Interesting observation, Captain Obvious. That's like saying, "I'd rather go spend $40 at a movie with my family than have my tires rotated."
Oh, and eating dinner at a Michelin-rated restaurant would cost well and above $26. I'm assuming you're talking about something with three or more stars.
The red ones are apples. The orange ones are...well...oranges. I hope that helps!
Unless you don't know what a Michelin rating is, your comment makes no sense. Diabetes merely implied they would rather out $26 towards a good meal than on an overpriced tube steak. I concur.
26 bucks would get you a wafer thin mint & told to phuch off !
That looks more like "Nacho" cheese, as opposed to shredded cheese. Just sayin......
"It may be a bit pricey at $26..."
=======================
Must be a typo. Isn't $26 rather cheap for a hot dog at ball games these days?
what a bunch of bs. come to milwaukee and get aREAL hotdog or brat and see what a value is. or go to see a HIGH SCHOOL stadium is built for 60 million while people are starving. yea texas you scum sucking sobs
So do they give you a tray gizzee to put it in? Or do you just sit there, like a stupid slob with it oozing all over you?
This will replace the $20 hot dog no doubt.
This is why the world hates us.
MMERICUH!
We're not called "ugly Americans" for nothing..
Who cares what the world's rat-finks think. They're all just jealous of our success. Beats eating sand!
Yeah, they hate us because they are envious of us. Keep thinking that. .
BTW it might help if you learned the difference between envy and jealousy. Just a suggestion.
Exactly why people here in Houston are so damn fat.
Nice try, but Arlington is outside of Dallas.
Right, the skinny Texans live in Arlington.
$26 dollars for that thing. QWhat a rip-off. I think you also get bent over for that price!
I hated baseball enough before I saw this monstrosity. This country has become a mob of overweight, ignorant fools who pay $26 for a cheap hotdog while they watch millionaires get paid to run around in circles.
You my friend are a MORON. Shut up.
All you can counter with is "shut up you moron"? He's absolutely right. Look at the people in the stands at a game. Epic fat asses.
You my friend are Genius =), well said!
$$baseball$$ sucks & Joe, been to a football or a hockey game recently? How 'bout a mall, a Starbux or a grocery store. Fat people are everywhere, not just in baseball stadiums eating hot dogs. But then, so are thin people.
You see fat people everywhere because it's what you identify with. Get help.
BA ZING GA!
Ok, Dr. Shill, the US is one of the most obese nations on the planet. Of course you see fat people EVERWHERE. Things like this HawtDawg are prime examples of why this country is the way it is, overpriced, low quality and bloated!!
Wow, did you see that?! That was my point going right over your head.
Must every article about a novelty food item bring out the mindless sheeple in droves; blaming this type of random food product for Americas obesity. Take a look in the mirror people if your not obese its because you CHOOSE to not eat things like this. Use your heads and blame no one but yourselves. No one is making you eat this thing.
This Obamanation represents exactly what is gluttonous and sinful in our nation. Yes, things like this contribute to our culture of eating overpriced, unhealthy food.
Right..Because it all happened in the last four years....Don't let your hatred for Obama add to your stupidy..
I don't hate Obama, he hates Amurika!!!
Obamanation, Abomination, hehehehe
If they knew what went into making any hot dog, they wouldn't eat it! God awful!!!
Do you actually know what is in a hot dog, or are you just spouting the same stupid anti hot dog c$%p that elitists espouse just to feel good about themselves? I think what goes into hot dogs are disgusting, but put them together, and once in a while they satisfy a craving.
Hot dogs were invented by a butcher who was tired of throwing away all the fat, trimmings, and other cow and pig parts that weren't even good enough to bring home to his dog. Then they pour sodium nitrate and other chemicals into it to make it nice and red (all the fat makes it appear too white) and stuff it into a casing of questionable origin (used to be animal small intestine). Then they charge you as if you were getting real meat. You don't want to eat that garbage trust me.

Just what we need a food item that is so big the person squeezed in beside you gets mustard dripped on them. How are you supposed to eat that without it hanging over into someone else's seat??? This is so stupid. That hotdog is so skinny. It doesn't look like anymore meat than the Hebrew National dogs. Those are huge. And Im sure taste better. The cheese in the pic is not shredded cheese. It is that cheap grade school canned nacho cheese. I would knock that darn thing out of my seat neighbors hands if that thing hung over into my seat.
It's amazing at how worthless the dollar is becoming.
I saw a single G.I. Joe figure at CVS for $15.99. Moreover, it's even made out of extremely cheap plastic when compared to older G.I. Joe figurines from the 80s.
This hotdog? I don't even want to know what kind of "meat" dwells in that 2-foot mass. The quality is cheap and price is great.
Because you're too afraid of black people to ask one out directly?
Just when we need Health Care the most. Fat people are killing this country.
Or is it a ruined country leading to the fat people?
Nah. It's people spending too many hours in front of computers & TVs instead of getting off their hind ends and exercising.
Um. No. That thing would kill you.
Funnily enough that would only help make more of these.
Ok you buy that and I'll stop at the subway on the way to the park with 5 – 5 dollar footlongs and we'll see who can stay away from the concession stand longer........2 ft. hotdog vs. 5 ft. sub sandwich....
"bring your wallet and maybe a fork...lift that is." Astounding.
Thank you for noticing. ~_~
Easy. Eeeeeasy.
A $26 hot dog that's about the size of a baseball bat begs the question... do you eat it or let it make love to you?
Hahahahah. Thanks for the morning spit-take.

And what better to wash it down than a $35 beer?
Disgustingly legal killer......no wonder the Government does not have enough money to help a better education,or the homeless,or get a better healthcare..all the money is going to save the pigs that are coming out from eating this unhealthy crap..must exist regulations over the matters.
I appreciate your concern, but I do not want the government regulating any aspect of personal life, thank you. It's not like people will be making a steady diet of Champion Dogs. It is a treat (and possibly a gastronomic challenge) for a memorable trip to a ball game. Moderation, both in food and government, as in all things, is ideal.
You heard it here first folks, the economic meltdown was in fact...hot dogs.
it's no secret that the health care is the most PROFITABLE industry in the US. This hot dog is just another way to pad a billionaire owner's bank account and pay for a millionaire player's steroid habit, all while contributing to the gluttony that has become America.
Occupy hot dog vendors!
Where is the shredded cheese? All I see is cheese whiz. . .
I know right?
I'm sure for a hot dog lover, that's nirvana. For me? Notsomuch.
Thank you for the story and keep up the great work!
How can people afford such an extravagant item? Everyone is broke. Didn't anyone tell people? The economy is bad, people are losing their homes, jobs, etc. But they charge 26 bucks for a hot dog. And guess what? People pay. I guess ALL those 1% r's are the only ones attending baseball games these days.
And this goes to explain why 37% of Americans are clinically obese. Brilliant.
Of course! Because you can get one of these on every corner.
Get a grip. Don't re-post the blather of lemmings. Have an original thought.
So true. Thank you for a dose of common sense on the boards, OT.
I don't believe the statement by AlanaB was meant to be interpreted litteraly. This hotdog (which most likely isn't even on sale yet) is not the ACTUAL reason why such a disproportionate number of americans are obese when compared to citizens of other western countries, but rather, that the *concept* of having, wanting, or being able ot market an obvioulsy oversized portion of unhealthy food muchless at that price. As always, I'm sure the profit margin plays a role in it all. I bet it costs about $1 to make (packaging aside).
The BMI scale helps a lot there too. See: It's f**ked.
Go out any night of the week in a big city and yes, there will be hotdog vendors on every corner. They may not sell $26 dollar crap like this, but up here in Seattle, you can get cream cheese and anything else you want piled on it for $5. It's the idea that someone would want to shove something like this into their mouth that shows just how gluttonous American society has become. Just remember that when you buy one of these things, you're paying for a millionaire's steroid habit.
Looks AWESOME! I'm sure there'll be some people asking for the halal version LOL!
That's what she said.
Bow, bow, bow.
