Things You Just Don't Get

I love the ending: "well, no matter how you mustard it, it is still a fuck ton of hotdogs"

But I do not believe that in any world we are eating 70 hot dogs per person, and I will never believe it until I am given solid and tangible proof.

UPDATE: An anonymous source with access to the NielsenIQ database of consumer behavior has reported to Defector that 760 million packages of hot dogs are sold retail each year. This is a possible explanation for the nine billion number presented by Big Hot Dog: If you assume all of those were 12-packs (a stretch), you get nine billion hot dogs. More likely they are eight-packs, which gives you six billion. The source notes that their data does not include some independent retailers, so could be off by 10 percent or so. With this information, we still do not reach anywhere near 20 billion hot dogs per year, but it seems plausible that Americans are buying at least 10 billion hot dogs, which would put the average around 30 hot dogs consumed per person per year.

Yeah it was a good piece. I still think those numbers are bullshit but when you consider all the Costco's and bbq's around the US daily, maybe we truly are eating that many?

I'm eating a packet of pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts, dried cranberries that says it is a product of Vietnam. They have these kinds of nuts in Vietnam?

This is the opposite of eat local.
