Hot dogs and miscommunication. *sigh*

You may be interested to learn that ice cream is often served in SE Asia - in hot dog buns.

That’s right, I know it sounds odd, but it’s not a bad idea really. They use a melon baller to scoop the ice cream, so you get small scoops.

It’s freaking hot there and the bun does an admirable job of catching any melt. Plus they don’t add any flavour, and insulates from the heat of your hand better than a cone does.

Brilliant for children. Just thought you might like to know another creative use for left over hot dog buns.

That’s what she said…:smiley:

Not Oscar Meyer, but I don’t remember what brand they were. The package was actually two ziplock-type bags with four dogs each, connected together.

24

Can I have one in the shape of a Klein bottle?

25

Bringing home the hotdog that matches the bun is why she married you.

Bringing home the hotdog with that plus 3 inches to spare is why she keeps you.

26

I’ve come up with a creative solution to the problem of the number of hot dogs not equalling the number of buns. It need not ever be a problem again. It also solves another one of life’s culinary dilemmas: That most hot dogs suck.

I buy them from the deli.

27

Maybe they actually were Oscar Meyer, who sells their “bun-length” hot dogs in two packs of four each, banded together.

28

I thought this was going to be about an erotic mishap.

I’m in Arizona and typically buy Bar S franks. They’re a nationwide supplier. In fact, they claim to be the nation’s #1 hot dog supplier. They come 8 to a 12 oz. package and are usually about a buck a pack. They’re pretty ubiquitous here. They seem to be in every supermarket.

I see you’re in Louisiana. Their site lists a ton of stores that carry them in your state.

"You want to have a weiner roast, and the buns are sold 12 to a pack, but the weiners are sold 8 to a pack. That means you have to invite a minimum of 24 people!

…If anyone asks for seconds, you have to kill them."

No problem. Of course, it won’t look like a Klein bottle unless you’re capable of seeing in that fourth spatial dimension that I usually use…

That is, indeed, correct. I checked, and they were Oscar Meyer.

32

Did anyone suggest grilling the dogs, cutrting them up and adding them to a pot of baked beans, and then serving them over the buns as a sort of open-faced sandwich? It could just work in a situation like this.

(PS - add some bacon. Bacon is nature’s most perfect food.)

33

My new mission in life is to create adjustable-length hot dogs, or maybe adjustable-length buns.

Darned right! Ever see the cookbook, “Seduced by Bacon: Recipes & Lore about America’s Favorite Indulgence”? There’s a Google Preview widget on the page I linked to on my website.
