My wife made hot dogs for lunch last weekend, and mentioned they were Armour brand. Now I’m trying to remember how that song on the commercials went. Heres what I’ve come up with:

“Hot dogs. Armour hot dogs. What kind of kids eat Armour hot dogs? Big kids, little kids, even tiny tots. Fat kids, skinny kids, even kids with chicken pox love hot dogs. Armour hot dogs. They’re the dogs kids love to bite!”

Is that right? Now I’ve got that tune in my head, i might as well have the correct lyrics to go with it!

Not only that, but it’s not “Big kids. Little kids” either.

It’s “Tough kids. Sissy kids.”
