    Oh come on, don’t be naïve. They bought two factories so they could switch from “hot dogs” to “mechanically-recovered animal-based byproducts” let’s be realistic

      Aw man I thought they were still free range prairie dog peckers. Oh wait, they’ve always been cheap sausages.

          What do you think a sausage is? They have always been animals scraps ground up and put into animal intestines. That’s why people have been saying “you don’t want to see the sausage being made” for 200 years.

          Frankfurters and Vienna sausages are the types of sausages used in hot dogs, both legal sausages in the EU.

            My point is “with a legally mandated meat content in the EU” but the folks in this thread ate so much fucking slop they have no clue what they’re shovelling in their fat faces 😂

          I’ve never heard anyone refer to a hotdog as a sausage in the states either and I even grew up poor

            It’s more like everyone knows it’s a sausage. What else could it be? We don’t call them frankfurters either.

              Yeah I’ve been thinking about it and I can’t find any other way to classify it… even the packaging though doesn’t call it a sausage

      Do you really expect hot dog sausages to be made from premium meat? They use the scraps that can’t otherwise be used, same as chicken nuggets. This is a good thing. Those sausages and nuggets are perfectly fine to eat and we get to reduce waste.

        Except hot dogs are cured meat which is terrible for you.

          Hurts people some, hurts animals less. I’m ok with that. I am actively in love with hot dogs though for what that’s worth.

      We’re you under the impression any hot dogs were ever anything other than mechanically-recovered animal-based byproducts?

      They bought the same hotdog factories that they were already buying hotdogs from. It was literally a one-to-one transition.

      well to be fair, I’m not buying a hotdog for 1 USD and expect premium meat in that thing.
