What’s An Oscar Mayer Cold Dog?
Wait. So a cold hot dog is NOT one you grab out of the freezer and microwave for 2 minutes? Nope. It’s on a stick now.
When it comes to hot dogs, even Oscar Mayer @mandajeanparker Of course! Hot wieners > cold wieners.
Oscar Mayer is selling its first-ever “Cold Dog,” which is a POPSICLE. It tastes like a hot dog . . . and they say it has “both refreshing and smokey, umami notes.” And it’s topped with a “mustard swirl.” (It’s unclear if that tastes like mustard, or if it’s just a design thing.)
If you’re looking for someone to blame for this, the idea dates back to an Instagram post on Oscar Mayer’s account a few months ago, where they asked their followers if it was “stupid or genius.”
Apparently, people said it was genius. A rep for Oscar Mayer said, “After the overwhelming fan excitement . . . it was a no-brainer to make [it] a reality.”
For better or worse, it’s not a nationwide release . . . yet. The “Cold Dog” is available at select Popbar locations, while supplies last. They cost $2 a pop. If you don’t know, Popbar is a chain of gelato shops.
Really? What do you think? Can’t be worse than the guy making a hot dog straw at a Yankees game
The hot dog straw?!? 🤢
