Weiners for nothing and your licks for free
In honor of July being both National Hot Dog Month and National Ice Cream Month, Weinerschnitzel is giving away your choice of a free original chili dog or a free Tastee Freez small cone between 5 and 8 p.m. tonight at participating locations.
Here are some fascinating hot dog facts, courtesy of Wienerschnitzel and the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council:
– Americans eat 20 billion hot dogs a year – an average of 70 hot dogs per person.
– More hot dogs are eaten in July than any other month of the year, which is why it is designated National Hot Dog Month.
– On July 4 alone, the biggest hot dog day of the year, 155 million hot dogs will be consumed. That is enough hot dogs to stretch from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., more than five times.
– More than 21 million hot dogs will be eaten at major league baseball parks this year. That’s enough hot dogs to round the bases 41,667 times – or stretch from Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. to AT&T Park in San Francisco!
– The first words Mickey Mouse ever uttered in a cartoon were “hot dogs” (in “The Karnival Kid,” 1929).

Wow! Who knew all that stuff. Thanks for all the info. I know where I’m taking Grandma today.
Mmmmm Hot Dogs
That’s a lot of lips and a$$holes.
Free hot dog or free ice cream? I’m torn…
Ok, I’m gonna put it out there…I like mayo on my dogs!. Hotdog sandwiches white bread, fried dogs, mayo and mustard, and yes, I grew up on a farm…Don’t judge me!!
Ahh there’s nothing like a hot dog wrapped in a crispy corn tortilla!
Hmm… hot dogs sound good today.
Heather:
Awesome headline!
Love freebies…when I’m in Dire Straits.
YAY!
Hot dogs on tortillas!
(‘cept I like flour tortillas)
I’m so glad I’m not alone! *tear*
Thank you, sir. ‘Tis my most favorite headline I’ve ever written.
Sorry to say but the hotdogs here in Fresno are less the desirable.
Came from Chicago, the “Vienna Beef” hot dogs are far far more superior.
Anyone want a succesful business in Fresno sell hot dogs like the traditional Chicago style dog!
Rich, you want Chicago, you got Chicago (pretty close).
Where? At the movies! Eisenberg hot dogs, made in Chicago (by my uncle). Carried at all Regal Theatres…and they actually are pretty good – for Fresno.
Steph — who gets in trouble in the chicagoland area for liking ketchup on my dawgs, no onions. I wouldn’t ask for mayo or a tortilla in Chi-town, ladies….
