stuckincincy Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Seeing the tv ads for Oscar Mayer's "Fast Franks - Hot Dogs in a Bun", I bought some. $3.19 for a pack of three, and my Sunday paper had a 65-cent coupon. You have to keep them refridgerated. The package had a Choking Warning: "For children under 6, cut hot dogs lengthwise and crosswise into small bite-sized pieces. Children shound always be seated and supervised while eating". It's tough to be a kid these days... You remove the plastic from the paper tray, and the dog itself is in a plastic sheath that has to be removed. The paper tray has that silvery film on the inside surface. Directions said 30 - 35 seconds on high; I used 40 seconds. The dog is of a larger diameter than the norm. The bun did not get hard, but was warm. I rate them better than a frank served at a ballpark, but obviously inferior to a grilled item.
Buffal0 Bill5 Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 It will be a cold day in hell when I pay over a buck a dog to eat at my own house. I may be frugal, but by my math I could have about 24 hot dogs for that money.

If a kid can't handle a hot dog what's he gonna do when confronted with a rampaging rhino, or cornered by a hungry gator? BTW, IMHO, this belongs on the fast food consumer products that I'll never buy forum.
stuckincincy Posted August 15, 2006 Author Posted August 15, 2006 BTW, IMHO, this belongs on the fast food consumer products that I'll never buy forum. 743709[/snapback] Agreed. Being a good-hearted man, I did this as a public service. But I give Oscar credit for making a product that performed as advertised.

Pastries may be hot when heated." Reading warnings these days, it makes one wonder how any of us made it to adulthood.

I've never read the directions, but according to him you can microwave a pop-tart, in 3 seconds. 3 friggin seconds. How long does it take to just toast the damn thing?

BTW--what condiment on your hotdog? Anyone ever heard of chow-chow or is that strictly a Texas thingy?

While the lifesaving story is nice, it won't do me much good at 3am on a saturday!

Chilly Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 I microwave my hotdogs already, and I just get the cheap ones. Why the hell did they make new hotdogs that can be microwaved?

I'll bet you just reach into your fridge and grab a slice of Wonder Bread, scrape off the mold and enjoy.

The instructions for toasting a Pop-Tart are actually a bit involved: "Remove pastry from outer sleeve. Place pastry in toaster vertically" - that last point seems to be stressed for some reason - "toast on LOW setting. Remove from toaster when toasted. Caution: Pastry may be hot when heated."

The Poojer Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 here is a tip from yours tuly. Buy a pack of hotdogs at walmart for $.68 for 8, buy a pack of buns for $.89. Go home, take a hot dog, place it in a bun, wrap assembled hot dog and bun in paper towel or napikan. Microwave on high for 1:00 minute. Remove..voila, fast hotdog from the microwave, less than $.20 for the whole thing Seeing the tv ads for Oscar Mayer's "Fast Franks - Hot Dogs in a Bun", I bought some. $3.19 for a pack of three, and my Sunday paper had a 65-cent coupon. You have to keep them refridgerated. The package had a Choking Warning: "For children under 6, cut hot dogs lengthwise and crosswise into small bite-sized pieces.

That way I can get em all with one shot. 743791[/snapback] That's okay...as long as you take them out of the foil sleeves first and then put them back in the box. Make sure you put them in the broiler vertically, too...I can't stress that enough.
