On the other hand, there’s damned good reason we should never have hot dogs. There’s no telling what’s inside a hot dog’s skin, and our standard of quality just wouldn’t permit that kind of item.
Just in time for breakfast, I found an article in Mental Floss that discusses how some foods- like hot dogs, f’rinstance- were too artificial and ill-defined even for Ray Kroc, the originator of McFood.
Of course, hot dogs haven’t been completely banished from McDonalds menus (and you can even still find McPizza in three franchises), but I find solace in the fact that there were some foodstuffs so thoroughly artificial and contrived that not even Ray Kroc could find it within himself to foist them on an unsuspecting public. Hmm…I wonder what he’d be thinking about the addictive, artificial, over-processed, chemical-filled crap his brainchild is serving Americans these days?
If you’re wondering why American waistlines continue to expand, try sitting in the parking lot of a McDonalds restaurant and watching the people who enter. Hey, where else can you get a strawberry shake that contains no actual strawberries??
