A new and better hot dog?




You sure you want to be an Oscar Mayer wiener? Oscar Mayer, which is battling Ball Park Franks to become the top wiener purveyor in the nation, says it has changed the recipe for its hot dogs to make them "zestier, meatier."

Here are those "zestier, meatier" ingredients: mechanically separated turkey, pork, mechanically separated chicken, water, salt, flavor, sodium lactate, corn syrup, sodium phosphates, dextrose, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate and sodium nitrite.

Pass the mustard.
