This new world
record for the Largest hot dog
broke the previous

Americans consume approximately 20 billion
hot dogs each year — that’s 634 hot dogs per second!

up a 15-foot long wiener, modeled after the world’s largest
hot dog, which was 197 feet long.
The super-sized hot dog was made in Brooklyn,
New York, by Empire National. Said Martha:“For
those of you who don’t think length matters, I disagree –
especially when it comes to wieners. There’s just never enough
bites in a hot dog.”
