hot dog you eat, Oh boy, what happens?

to run everyone's cookout.

on me when it says buy products, don't don't ask. Okay,

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Hot dogs, also known as frankfurters or wieners, are a
type of curd cooked sausage, typically made from beef, pork,
or a combination of the two, along with other ingredients.
Common components include meat, water, spices, curring agents like sodium
nitrate okay, which gives them their charistic pink color and

(02:40):
helps with preservation. Other ingredients may include flavoring, sugars, and
sometimes fillers like starch or milk powder. So far, this
is not too bad.
