Ever wondered how the hot dog got its name? đźŚ
It all started in the 1800s when German immigrants brought dachshund-shaped sausages to America.
Yale students started calling them “hot dogs” in the 1890s — half joke, half mystery meat rumor.
Then, a baseball vendor’s shout and a cartoonist’s humor made the name stick forever!
Today, this frankfurter favorite is not just food — it’s American culture wrapped in a bun. From Germany to Coney Island to every baseball game, the story of the hot dog is one delicious piece of history.
