    I grabbed a corn dog the other day from AM/PM and the cashier asked if I wanted mustard or ketchup and then when I said no thank you, gave me a look like I had grown a second head.

    I like the corn dog. It’s not just a sauce conveyance vessel. And I only sometimes eat the stick too.

      I feel like it needs butter tbh. That being said I haven’t tried one. Can’t eat corn.

        Oh. My. God.

        You’re a genius!

        I’m sure you could make a corn dog analogue that’s close enough without cornmeal based batter. Heck, use breakfast sausage, dip in pancake batter, deep fry. Best pigs in a blanket ever. 🤤

          A wheat dog is basically a hot dog in a bun anyway, so yeah it would probably be tasty. Salt free butter probably.

    1400-1600 calories, only 180% of daily sodium requirement… If you had a light breakfast and it’s the only other thing you eat that day it’s not that bad. You might want to get some more fiber (Not the stick though), and a multivitamin wouldn’t hurt.

  • I think I was a year into living on my own when I realised I could eat whatever I wanted. I have a distinct memory of walking from the microwave at work with two paper cups stuffed with dogs, and more between my fingers, like a corn dog wolverine.

    I probably had malnutrition because I didn’t know how to feed myself for shit lol no wonder I was starving

    What even is a corndog, like a hotdog… made of corn?

      Hotdog saussage covered in wome corn based batter. It’s absolutely disgusting.

        I’ve personally got a corn intolerance so seven corndogs would be quite the experience.

        You just haven’t had the right corndog, if they’re fried poorly the cornbread coating can get mushy and nasty.

        The worst parts of the animal that can’t be used in other meat products, covered in raw carbs, and of course, deep fried in oil. America.

        (edit) I looked up some pictures, why is the bread so fucking thick? Is it supposed to absorb the oil or is that just a happy coincidence? Absolutely disgusting.

          You say that like actually using all parts of the animal you’ve killed is a bad thing

            You say that like grinding up and selling it as a meat-adjacent is the only possible use of animal remains.

              You are aware that many cultures eat every single part (that is edible/digestible) of the animal they kill, right?

              Tons of people eat eyes, brains, tails, feet, etc…

                In fairness, it’s not really the same

                Think more like a slurry of connective tissue, bits of fat, and scraps of meat pressure washed off the bone and swept into a drain. The legally allowable quantities of cleaning chemicals and feces are also pretty concerning…

                I’m happy to eat sausage, even blood sausage, despite knowing what it is and how it’s made… but hotdogs are gross in a unique and unnatural way

    I’ve done this. I’ve had more than 7. It’s glorious and I regret nothing, and still crave more. Minus the stick of course, wtf?

    It also leaves me wondering how I can eat so many, when a comparable amount of other food would fill me up far quicker.

    Corndogs are a special kind of magic.

    PS YOU SICK FUCKS PUTTING MUSTARD AND KETCHUP ON THEM. EWW.

    One time when I was a teenager I ate 10 pre-packaged chicken corndogs and my burps were lethal from 30 feet away.

    Between the cornbread, chicken and cola I drank for that one meal…I created something horrifying in my stomach.

    And when the burps stopped…there was calm before a storm…of terrible farts that went on all night. I was waking up every 10 minutes to unleash a vaporized demon from my anus and going to the toilet every hour to unleash a liquid one

      That seems exactly like what 10 *corndogs would do to a person.

      Good question. What could they weigh? It’s mostly fiber.

    I’d never had a corn dog (I haven’t seen one here in Europe). Is it just a sausage on a stick covered in breading?

      Yep. Hot dog on a stick, covered in cornmeal batter. Deep fried.

      And by sausage, they mean a thin frankfurter, not a proper sausage. And the bread looks more like a cake.

      Think I’ll stick to the English chip shop battered sausage.

        It’s cornmeal, so not the typical fried batter. It has more of a slightly sweet taste that imo compliments the hot dog well. Not for everyone, but I wouldn’t count them out without trying it at least once.
