Who Wants an Ice Cold Wiener?
Who Wants an Ice Cold Wiener? Anyone?
Even Oscar Mayer agrees that “hot wieners are better than cold wieners” when it comes to hot dogs, but they’re striving to change that.
The first-ever “Cold Dog” from Oscar Mayer is a POPSICLE. They claim that it has “both refreshing and smokey, umami flavors” and that it tastes like a hot dog.
According to a report by CNN, a “mustard swirl” is placed on top of the Hot dog pop. I’m not really sure if that tastes like real mustard or if it’s merely an aesthetic choice. Though considering the flavors of this bizarre treat, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Some called it stupid, many called it genius. Introducing the Oscar Mayer Cold Dog, a hot dog-flavored frozen pop. Now available at @popbar in Long Beach, Atlanta, New Orleans, and NYC. #StupidOrGenius? You decide pic.twitter.com/9cbB2A14ML

Why on god’s green earth would anyone want to eat this? Well, if you’re looking for a culprit, Oscar Mayer’s Instagram post from a few months ago asking their followers if it was “dumb or genius” is where the concept originated. People have lost their minds in 2022. Here’s proof…
Evidently, people thought it was brilliant. “After the huge fan excitement… it was a no-brainer to make [it] a reality,” an Oscar Mayer representative stated.
For better or worse, it hasn’t received a wide release just yet. While supplies last, the “Cold Dog” is offered at a few Popbar locations. They are $2 each. If you’re unaware, Popbar is a network of gelato stores.
