Who knew? Better than the cotton gin? More important the discovery of electricity? Yup, the hot dog. America’s contribution to the world’s quinine. And Ball Park, with help from Y&R New York, would like us to meet the brand’s Park’s Finest hot dogs, made with 100% beef, no nitrates and “infused with bold premium seasonings.”

Let’s be honest. Hot dogs taste awesome. But let’s also be honest. They aren’t really food. They are a collections of scraps that were trimmed off actual pieces of meat with a bunch of chemicals added then formed by machinery into a phallic symbol and sold off as perfectly healthy summertime cookout fare.
