Safety First For American Wurst
According to The Kansas City Star, we’ll consume an estimated 7 billion dogs between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Call them weenies, call them franks or call them red hots. But should we call them dangerous?
The American Academy of Pediatrics says so, because children can choke on them.
Now an inventor says that he has come up with an idea for an improved hot dog design: Make incisions down the sides so that as it heats, the hot dog will open into a floral-type design that will more easily break apart if it gets stuck in the throat.
“What we’re trying to do is make a safer hot dog,” said idea man Gene Gagliardi Jr. of Creativators LLC in Pennsylvania.
Gagliardi’s market savvy should not be discounted. He is responsible for Steak-umm frozen beef products and for Popcorn Chicken at KFC.
He says Kinder Cuts also will make hot dogs taste better.
“During the cooking process, the slits open up, allowing the condiments to adhere to the hot dog,” his company says, “making it more flavorful.”

Are they proposing that every hot dog made in the US would have this design, or will this type of hot dog be available as a certain brand? I could not see how the first point would ever succeed, as it is messing with an American icon. If it’s the latter, I think the only moms that would purchase this would be ones that are attentive anyway.

If anyone is really that worried about the shape of a hot dog before it is chewed and swallowed, it seems to me they could just cut it themselves. Interesting idea but I don’t think it would go over that well as a business. Only the people that are really into it would want the hot dog to be like that and then they could just make the cuts on their own before cooking them.
