Awesome Hot Dogs

My joystick has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R; my joystick has a second name, it’s M-A-Y-E-R. Hyperkin teamed up with an unlikely partner to create the wackiest game controller of the year. The hot dog-shaped Bluetooth controller works with Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, Android, and iOS and is decorated in shades of bun gold, mustard yellow, and hot dog red.

This tasty knife from Boker looks like a hot dog. Its wiener-shaped red blade has a squiggle of mustard, while its aluminum handle cradles the dog like a golden-brown bun. It features Kalashnikov’s push-button automatic mechanism, a button lock, and a ketchup-colored pocket clip – a BladeHQ exclusive and part of the unique Warrior Buffet collection.

What’s the laziest way to grill hot dogs? If you’re Pablo Rochat, you send them there on a Hot Wheels track on a tiny wienermobile. Like any good overengineered solution, he could have grilled 100 hot dogs in the time it took him to set up the track. Turns out this isn’t the first time Pablo played with his wieners.

Handy Dandy Brandy handcrafts all kinds of fun wooden cutting boards. Our current favorite is this one that looks like a giant hot dog. It’s made from mahogany and birch with a squiggle of yellow EcoPoxy resin “mustard” down the middle. It’s perfect for prepping veggies and makes a great serving piece for cookouts. We also love her Charcu-Trees board.

The city is under attack, and only one thing can take down the 100-foot-tall hot dog that’s smashing cars and buildings – ketchup! Illustrata’s tasty kaiju t-shirt is available for one day only on on The Yetee, but if you miss their deal, you can grab one later from Neatoshop.

YouTuber NileRed is known for his dramatic chemistry experiments. Here, he shows off a highly volatile mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide known as “piranha solution,” which work together to absolutely obliterate a hot dog. Needless to say this stuff is incredibly dangerous, so don’t attempt anything like this at home.

Inspired by science instructor Bruce Yeany, YouTuber NightHawkInLight wanted to see if he could cook a hot dog while it floated in the air. NightHawk improved on Yeany’s compressed air levitation, using a nichrome and copper coil to heat his wiener instead of a blowtorch.

Erik Vernieuwe and Kris De Smedt of BURP love to play with their food. They especially enjoy a good wiener. Their Instagram feed is loaded with hilarious scenes featuring hot dogs, sausages, and pickles posed as characters and scenes from pop culture. Our favorite photo is of the Grady twins from Kubrick’s The Shining.

When the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile turned up in Memphis, Tennessee, members of Opera Memphis decided to pay tribute to the iconic hot dog on wheels by singing a grand operatic rendition of the brand’s familiar jingle. That’s tenor Dane Suarez and baritone Jake Stamatis, conducted by Michael Sakir.

To get the word out about their new artificial preservative-free hot dog recipe, Oscar Mayer expanded its wiener-shaped vehicle fleet. The WienerCycle is a three-wheel moped with a hot dog warmer sidecar, and the WienerDrone can deliver hot dogs via the air.

A smaller version of the off-roading remote controlled Wienermobile. The Mini Wiener Rover goes up to 30mph and has room for two hot dogs in its 22.5″ long and 11″ tall body. Oscar Mayer is selling only 15 units a day on Twitter until 12/4/15.

To celebrate National Hot Dog day, Oscar Mayer created a very special version of its iconic Wienermobile – a 43″ long R/C vehicle that can go off-road and delivers a payload of hot dogs to hungry recipients. When can we buy one?

Conan O’Brien is in Chicago this week, and kicked things off with a bang by launching a 10-foot bratwurst over the Chicago River. Why? Why the heck not? Jump to 2:25 to cut to the chase.
