The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
To help remind us of how awful fast food can be, photographer Jon Feinstein pressed some up against glass and scanned them in. The results of the series, titled Fast Food, are nothing short of gag-inducing.
Titles of the photos range from, “39 Grams,” to “42 Grams,” referring to the amount of fat in each food. Please try to enjoy lunch.
Do not adjust your screens… Something called the Black Terra is an entirely black hot dog. Served at Vegas Premium Hot Dogs in Tokyo, the Terra’s shade of black is made possible by using an edible bamboo charcoal powder.
Now, we’re going to go ahead and end this post before I say something that’ll get us in trouble. Thanks for stopping by.

The Hot Dog Bulldog is what happens when artist Brock Davis plays with his food — again. The bull/weiner dog was created with a hot dog, condiments, and a napkin, and was intended to make its way onto a t-shirt for sale at Target.
Or, you can try some of your own condiment art with Crayums.

Just when you thought that the U.S. had cornered the market on extravagant tubed meat — DougieDogs of Vancouver recently created the World’s Most Expensive Hot Dog. After one-upping the former champion from Massachusetts, which was priced at $80, the new ‘Dragon Dog’ will set you back $100 Canadian, or about $98.68 USD.
And if you were thinking (as I was) that the hot dog would surely contain nothing more than the finest Canadian bacon and maple syrup — the Dragon Dog justifies its price with a foot-long bratwurst infused with Louis XIII cognac, Kobe beef seared in olive and truffle oil, fresh lobster, and a secret “picante sauce.” Enjoy, eh!

Who wants a weenie? The Roast My Weenie Hot Dog Cooker will hold your tube meat in place while it roasts, and should help lighten the mood at the next outdoor family event. The metal base can even be customized to include a design or witty euphemism of your choice.
Just make sure to tell your guests to bring their appetites, and a healthy supply of dick jokes.
