    I want you to know that you’re being downvoted not by these imaginary fatties, but because you can’t identity an obvious joke and are whining about downvotes

      Thanks - I appreciate you trying to explain it to this idiot, but I’m still not sure I get it… These dogs are a very real thing (other than the ho-ho-hotdogs I assume).

        Are they actually? There was a relatively convincing comment that pointed out that hand in each photo is identical which means it’s probably photoshopped.

          Actually no - after looking a bit further, I ate the onion on that one - they’re a fabrication by the Instagram user Justin Things. I was sure I saw the freedom franks on shelves around July 4th in Utah a few years back, but stand corrected.

          That’s not to say there’s not a good number of people trying to make this stuff, but there’s a big difference between that and it being a marketed product.
