What Ya Gonna Do With 10 Fifty-Seven Cent Hot Dogs? Here Are Some Ideas.

To celebrate its fifty-seventh birthday, Wienerschnitzel on Evergreen Way is offering weenies at fifty-seven cents. Limit ten.

The promo takes place next Tuesday, July 10.

The question: what ya gonna do with 10 hot dogs? Let’s discuss some options.

1. Practice for a competitive eating contest.

We know a thing or two about eating contests. So you’ve got ten hot dogs on your hands. Now’s the time to up your game. The secret here is to dip the bun in water so that it dissolves quickly. Eating ten hot dogs will stretch out your stomach so that you’ll be ready for the major leagues.

2. Build a pop art sculpture.

Andy Warhol did the Campbell’s Soup thing. There’s no reason you shouldn’t follow in his footsteps by taking an iconic American food item and elevating it to the status of haute couture. Your hot dog sculpture is guaranteed to be a conversation-starter at your next cocktail hour.

3. Save a buck.

In his excellent book The Tipping Point author Malcolm Gladwell explores the idea of mavens. Mavens are people who compulsively gather information in the marketplace. These are the people who know what the prices of tuna are at all the grocery stores around town.

Mavens search out and take advantage of killer deals, passing this knowledge on to others for the benefit of their social circles. Mavens are the people who study crop blight in Brazil so they can stockpile Folgers when coffee prices dip twenty-five cents a can.

Are you an obsessive coupon-cutter? Time to score the hot dog deal of the century. Tell your friends. People need to know.

4. Don’t feed a seal.

Like we talked about before, Everett’s got plenty of seals. According to this internet story, it’s a really bad idea to feed hot dogs to seals. Dispose of your extra hot dogs wisely.

5. Stockpile for a nuclear holocaust

Things that will survive in a-bomb blast:

Twinkies
Cockroaches
Hot dogs.

Your average frank is chock full of preservatives and sodium: perfect for a long shelf life. Chilling in your bunker after the blast? Eat couple dogs before venturing out to search for bottled water.

The takeaway: get to Weinerschnitzel next Tuesday and enjoy this deal!
