Summertime’s here, and no backyard picnic could possibly be complete without an invasion of miniature cephalopods courtesy The Octodog Frankfurter Converter. This culinary miracle has been around for a few years now—conquer your fear of altering foods to look like sea-dwelling invertebrates and give it a try.
Just slice some sausages inside the plastic-bladed housing (pleasantly though somewhat meta-redundantly also shaped like an octopus), then ‘em cook up (microwave works best) for tentacle-curling delight. (Not tiny enough for you? Someone has actually gone to the trouble to make an anatomically incorrect yet still mightily inspiring dollhouse version.)
Believe me, a weenie shaped like an octopus never fails to get a laugh from a little kid (or a grown man). If you need a better rationale, pediatricians have recommended linear slicing of hot dogs for safety reasons. But let’s face it—don’t you deserve an Octodog anyway? Isn’t it time you began enjoying the finer things?
