The development of hot dogs

1906, the slender and streamlined sausage is still a novel food in the United States, with various names, such as "sausage", "Frank sausage", "Vienna sausage", "little red sausage" and "Texaco dog sausage".

Texaco is a kind of brown-haired dog, with long body and short legs, so it is named after its sausage appearance is quite similar to that of this breed of dog.

Experts believe that Dolgan contributed a lot to the emergence of the word "hot dog", but up to now, I don't know how many times I have looked through Tibetan paintings, and I can't find the cartoon that was wrongly written as "hot dog". It's just an interesting story about cartoons. What is particularly striking is that Americans consume 654.38+09 billion hot dogs every year, 90 per capita, worth 500 million dollars. The hot dogs they eat are distributed on the equator and can circle the earth 26 times.
