A new and better hot dog?


Posted at 12:01 am by Jon Bauer, Herald staff

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.

Hallmark moment: A Washington, D.C., dad complains that most Father's Day cards go for cheap-shot humor that labels dads as incompetent, beer-drinking, TV-watching, tool-obsessed laggards.

The Buzz won't speak for other fathers, but we're looking forward to Father's Day so we can avoid doing the odd jobs we do so poorly while enjoying a beer, watching some TV and browsing a hardware store catalog.

Coffee, tea or Tang? A Google co-founder has paid $5 million for an upcoming flight to the international space station.

That sounds like a lot of money, but NASA isn't charging him for carry-on luggage.
