This looks like a parody product. Like something advertised on Ren and Stimpy

Fun fact, in The Flash movie (guessing nobodys seen it considering it was a flop of the year) Barry opens his mostly empty fridge.. and there's a tin of these in there. Most people probably think it was a prop product but I literally ate them last week..

I have a weird thing about ratios with meat/bread and these are the only hotdogs that don't overwhelm me.

That is a fun fact, thank you for sharing.

I have been thinking about 8 HOT DOGS in Brine all day today. A shame the only place I can find it is amazon for $52

Hey, don't bash it till you've tried it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I definitely would if I could stop laughing at "8 HOT DOGS in Brine"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ive had the canned/jarred hot dogs.

theyre fucking gross.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

But have you specifically had 8 HOT DOGS 👑 𝐼𝓃 𝐵𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑒 👑

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I really can't get this damn can of hot dogs out of my head.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's my avatar now, so watch out!

I've only sent a handful of emails to IT over the years while working here:

  1. Hello, AutoCAD says I don't have a license

  2. Hello, I forgot my phone - can you get me into my laptop?

  3. (Literally the next day) Hello, I forgot my phone again...

  4. Hello, my laptop battery is dead, can I have a new one?

  5. Hello, can you please set my Teams profile picture to the attached photo of 8 HOT DOGS in Brine?

Had a good laugh at this one! May the briny goodness of 8 HOT DOGS in Brine be known throughout the globe

It’s be iffy if you’d be alive to bash it after though.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

The serving suggestion is all eight of them.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Love that food photography style. Two tiny twigs of parsley draped on those huge vulgar sausages. Everything green is somehow greyish.

I ate mountains of Ye Olde Oak hotdogs as a student.

I'm now a vegetarian but some days I do think back fondly to them. My usual "guilty pleasure" snack now is a "bagel pizza" - cheap bagel, ketchup, slices of cheddar grilled to be just barely melted. I had it once at a friends' house whose mum was Canadian, and it lives rent free in my mind.

He also taught me D&D, painted me a Kroot Auxiliary tau army(!) and was/is a wonderfully odd chap.

Ye Olde Oak make veggie hotdogs too !

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Didn't know they did! TIL

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Well, RIP my waistline then I suppose!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Ye Olde Oak hotdogs are also good. Normally the little shops I went into only had the Kingsfood ones and they were about 30-40p per tin.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

There's something special about corner shop brands. They always have the best dolly mix.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Sliced up Ye Olde Oak hotdogs, two cans of tuna, mushrooms, mayo. That’s my guilty pleasure, although it’s got tuna and mushrooms so it’s automatically healthy, obviously.

Now that I’ve seen that written down it seems like a weird concoction, but I promise you it’s delicious

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I want to assure you the thought of eating this made me nauseous.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah I may need to rethink my life choices to be honest

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

It doesn't look that weird to me, but I'm not sure that reflects worse on me...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How has no one addressed the abomination in the room? Ketchup and melted cheese on a bagel called "pizza"? I hate to yuck your yum, but holy hell.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Would it be better if I did it in my pizza oven?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Maybe? Probably better than turning your toaster on its side.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Elbow macaronis with little blocks of molten cheese and little blocks of spam meat. Add in a little kit of ketchup and mayo on the side.

Makes my wife convulse even thinking about it, but I love it. My grand mother would make this for me every now and then as a treat and it never stopped being a treat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I'm tired of people pretending SPAM isn't delicious.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Your hot dogs come in cans? 😨

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm equally as astounded as the fact yours come in plastic packagings

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

When you say it out loud, that does sound weird... 🤔 At least a can makes getting rid of the disgusting hot dog water easier.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Just drink it. The sodium is good for your bonez

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Angel delight. It's a genius product and so simple

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sainsburys do a much cheaper, sugar-free version - I keep a few of the butterscotch variety in case of emergencies.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I like the idea of an angel delight emergency

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It was one of my favourite things as a kid and I called it Blum Blum, still do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I also still call blackcurrant squash "juicy" and, when I gave up drinking, most bar staff in my local soon knew what the order of a juicy meant.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

never really liked angel delight, but could eat jelly for days.

I'm fond of the occasional Frey Bentos steak and kidney pie in a can but they're getting pricey in Australia.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

oh god, they are so bad... Kinda fancy one now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Whohhh 8 hotdogs per can? That's like exactly a pack of buns, there aren't two left over buns that get no dog.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

We had these last week with a pack of 6 buns, can normally fit 2 extras on to one of the other buns.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

In the same vein: Canned Vienna sausages Toast Chee CapriSun

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I just had a can of these! 85p, 4x cheaper than their fancier glass-vareity brethren. Stick em in a microwave for a minute, and that's a lunch right there.

Growing up, Wagon Wheels used to be my secret pleasure, but I've gone off them the last few years - just not that chocolatey or creamy.

I currently love going to a chicken shop. For a while I lived in a country without one, but those dark days are gone now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I'm surprised it's possible to have a favourite.

I've never been able to tell the difference between hotdogs,, I had no idea there is any until you get upto proper Frankfurter levels

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Heck yes, 8 tiny hot dogs in a can! I used to have these when I was young as well.

My guilty pleasure are those cheap pizzas. The REALLY cheap pizzas that still to this day only seem to cost around 60p

This style 👍
