So, I see this headline on the USA Today Web site today:
Pediatricians call for a choke-proof hot dog
And am immediately intrigued. According to the article, the American Academy of Pediatrics wants foods like hot dogs redesigned because 17% of all food related choking incidents are caused by hot dogs. Who knew?
After containing my five minute giggle fit at the unfortunate headline, I began to wonder how exactly would one redesign a hot dog? It's a hot dog, like the simplest of food designs after the hamburger patty. And of course, the ultimate question, would it still be a hot dog if it was in a different shape and fifth graders around the country could no longer make unfortunate phallic jokes about it at lunch time?
What are your thoughts on hot dogs, f-list?
