While we prepare ourselves for the gorge fest that we will thrust ourselves into on the 26th, I thought it would be nice to look back and see how our favorite meat product, the hot dog, came into existence.
Using my awesome google research skills, I have tracked down what seems to be the origin of the hot dog that we all enjoy today. Now, most of my sources (read: wikipedia) says that there is absolutely no way one can be sure of the exact origin of the hot dog because it is simply too awesome and awesomeness like that has no beginning and will definitely have no end.
Some of you might think that some time in the past, maybe around the 1930s, some guys got together and they found themselves faced with a conundrum.
Man 1: “What should we do with this huge sack of meat and this partially edible sack of intestine lining?”
Man 2: “Ooh, I know! Maybe we can stuff everything inside the other thing and see what happens from there?”
Man 1: “You’re an idiot. It won’t work.”
Man 2: “Sure it will. Here, give me that.” *stuffs meat into intestines* See?
Man 1: “OMG! You’re right! LOL! This roxxorz!”
Man 2: “But wait, that’s not all!” *whips out a piece of bread*
- The first meeting to create the most beloved meat product.
