3 myths about hot dog trucks

Hot dogs are a staple of most Western nations. Kids, teens, and adults all love hot dogs. There’s hardly a place in the US where you can’t find more sausage trucks waiting to feed the hunger of thousands of customers.

These mobile vehicles are fully equipped to make any kind of dog anytime, not to mention propane-fueled coolers, condiments, accessories, and enough storage space to never run out of hot dogs and buns. A colorful umbrella with advertisements completes the hot dog truck.

The trend of having sausages during baseball games has gained so much popularity that games are considered incomplete without the sausage trucks around. Some myths related to them are:

1. The debate continues over who is the original founder of the dog. There are many stories similar to ‘where did the name of hamburgers come from’. The investigation will not give you a concrete truth, but it will be a fun read. Enjoy.

2. There are conflicting stories about the origins of “hot dogs.” One is that a man selling sausages yelled at people passing by the store to buy his “hot sausage dogs.” Another story is that of a butcher named Johann Georghehner, who first called sausages dachshunds, or puppies. Although many believe these stories to be true, there is nothing to corroborate or confirm that they are true.

3. Franks are not made from ground up pig organs as some believe. Rather, high and low quality pork is used to make a delicious little sausage.
