Horror Movie Hot Dogs Mon, 01/30/06 2:40 PM (permalink)
Hi,
I just had to get this out of my system. I took two of my kids to a movie theatre in Ft. Wayne. A medium pop..$4.00, a large bucket of popcorn..$6.00. A hot dog......$3.75! I about passed out! It was an Eisenberg hot dog 8 to 1. The popcorn and pop you can expect to get the shaft on, but how dare they blaspheme a hot dog. Those red vested bow tie wearing pirates! What is the world coming to? What is the most you have ever paid for a hot dog? And was it worth it?

    Superdawg's are $4.20+tax. Of course they include fries so, I guess that's a little high but definitely worth it. I mean, they throw in that pickled green tomato too, so there ya go!

    It didn't occur to me when I originally posted; Superdawgs are bigger than 8 to 1. They are probably 5 or 6 to 1; making it a better value, still.

        I don't remember exactly how much it was at Yankee Stadium a few years ago. I was too delirious with laughter after hearing the price to remember. Plus, of course, the frank was cold. But you know you can't go to a ballgame without having a dog.

        So then, I want to buy my daughter some ice cream and I sarcastically ask the vendor, "How much is that, 4?"
        He says, "Nope, 5."

          I cant remember the exact price, but it was like 3.50 to 4 bucks for a dog at Michigan International Speedway... It was either an 8/1 or 10/1 dog at that... Grocery store variety also... ARGHHHH... Have they no shame? For that price, atleast toss a quality dog in the dirty water...
