Hot Deal
May 27th, 2006
At the grocery store (my second trip of the day), I saw a new product in the meat section: “Fast Franks” from Oscar Mayer. Individually wrapped, microwavable hot dogs.
What is so revolutionary? The hot dog is ALREADY in the bun.
The old way:
Microwave a frozen hot dog for 30 seconds.
Place the warmed up hot dog in a bun yourself.
Eat.
Cost: $0.20 per hot dog. $0.10 per bun.
The new way:
Microwave a frozen hot dog and bun for 35 seconds
Eat.
Cost: $1.00 per hot dog/bun combo.
Note how much easier the new way is? It is definitely worth triple the cost.
If only they could pre-squirt the ketchup for an additional 50 cents.
