The Grossest Things Accidentally Found in Hot Dogs Are Even Grosser Than You Think


Hot dogs. Juicy, succulent, mouth savoring meat. A pink mixed mash of deliciousness. See hot dog, want hot dog, eat hot dog. That's what I think, at least. I might have to think twice though. Some truly disgusting stuff is sometimes found in a hotdiggity.
The NY Times sent a FOIA request to the USDA asking to see the complaints the USDA received about foreign objects in hot dogs and um, it ain't pretty. I know hot dogs aren't exactly the shining saint of natural, healthy human food but I didn't expect it to be this bad. Here's a list of the grossest things that managed to finagle its way into the pink tube we all know and love (and probably ate this past weekend):

small piece of glass
worms
maggots
bone fragments
plastic
piece of an eyeball
piece of metal
"something green"
rat leg
"someone has ejaculated in these hot dogs"
Band-Aids
rubber glove
lock washer
"winged insect that resembled a dragonfly inside the package of hot dogs"
razor
There's more too, I could only look at about half of the 64 case files the NY Times received before grossing myself out. All of these "foreign objects" were in complaints filed with the USDA from 2007 through 2009. Having these case files doesn't mean they're all true but it does mean the USDA investigated these claims to a certain point.
Luckily, in most if not all cases, the USDA determined that there was no "pattern of neglect at the packing plant" and just notified the company that handled the hot dogs. To be fair, foreign objects inside hot dogs are still a pretty rare occurrence. Think about it, there are 20 billion dogs made every year and only a few cases include "foreign objects". That's not too bad of a rate, I suppose? Whatever. I'm never eating a hot dog again. Or at least I won't eat one today.

LOL at "someone has ejaculated in these hot dogs" LMFAO

What the fuck is wrong with you people? Sausages kick ass.

"Oh but they're full of the bad parts of the meat..." SO THE FUCK IS EVERYTHING ELSE YOU EAT WITH MEAT IN IT.

Unless you only eat actual cuts of meat like a good steak (Rahim hasn't had a good steak for 5 years) etc, you're eating the crap parts of the meat.

Burgers - Crap meat
Pizzas - Crap meat
Anything else - Crap meat

There are good sausages but most of these cheaper ones barely have any meat in them, even meat quality-aside.

People are generally retarded you see, and care too much about what they eat. They seem to forget that our INTENDED way to eat was by eating RAW dirty food. Dripping with dirt, blood and all other kinda of shit.

The human race survived a couple of thousand years (at least) living this way until they discovered you could cook things.

Prehistoric man did not fry up some potatoes and pork chops on his stove, because he didn't have one.

All health problems caused by food are MAN MADE problems, despite what Casey believes about the health issues of eating animal products. The product is fine, its the food processors that fucked it up.

You know the life expectancy of prehistoric man was 25 - 40 years, right?

Also, second sentence - intended by WHO, exactly?

1. Thats because as humans have evolved, we have aged slower, a 40 year old prehistoric man had the body of an 80 year old man in present time. Health issues didn't come into play until we fucked with things ourselves.

2. Nature. You definitely can't argue that we were supposed to eat cooked prepared food because those are man made ideas, nothing to do with nature at all. We are still animals like all other animals on this planet, just because we have evolved to reach a higher intelligence does not change that.

You're not thinking about what you're saying hard enough. Nature does not "intend" or "suppose" us or animals to do anything. Evolution is nature. If we evolved the intelligence to cook things then nature intended us, in your words, to cook things. Our man-made ideas come from our intelligence which evolved through nature. Did nature intend beavers to build dams? No, but in your sense, yes, through evolution. But somehow what beavers come up with is nature yet what we come up with is man-made, and hence, not nature? Where did we get our intelligence from but nature? So it's natural. It developed to help us survive, like everything else any animal has developed.

Intelligence had nothing to do with cooking food. Fire was an accidental discovery, as was cooking. No one thought "oh i wonder what happens if we do this". Our thought was "lets eat this".

What you said about Beavers is irrelevant. Beavers build dams to live in. Its an instinct to inhabit some where safe. We have no instinct to cook food.

Nature is instinct, not intelligence.

Well, I like hot dogs. I like Nathan's the best. I went to Sam's Club yesterday but for the first time in years I got a hot dog from there. Forgot how good they were. They were Nathan's.

^My sister's husband's favorite. I used to get the Hebrew ones or whatever cause I figured Jews know things, but then I switched to Nathan's.

I don't do the Hebrew ones either. They take out the pork and replace it with foreskins. In fact, that's how the Holocaust started. Hitler was tired of the Israeli foreskins and wanted some Polish ones, no one cooperated, so he brought in his tanks (whose cannons look oddly like circumcised chodes) and declared war.

Gandhi joined Hitler's movement for Hebrew National to use foreign foreskins for both flavor and because they were cheaper. Gandhi was so into the cause, he even decided to go bald himself, to better resemble a circumcised dick.

The more you know....

These threads are mental. People are so misinformed about food it shocks me.

Yes. You can get cheap sausages where they are made of random body parts, but are mostly bloated out with bread like substances. But you can also get decent sausages made with good cuts of pork or beef. It depends where you get your food from. And I suspect from reading the posts above, that most people get their food from the supermarket.

With ridiculous foreign objects found in the hot dogs it is a rare occurence and one that can fall upon any one of our foodstuffs that goes through a large scale manufacturing process, including vegan foods (those which are manufactured). The only way would be to grow and prepare all foods yourself, which isn't practical.

I don't eat hot dogs very often, but I do like them, and will continue to eat them a couple of times a year. I know they are made up of shitty parts of the animals, and I don't really care. I would rather eat an animals anus if it tastes good, than inhale a carcinagenic plant. Most of the time I get my meat direct from the farm that raises them, and ensures that their short lives are as happy, and that their food is natural. That way my meat tastes better. I also but the meat pies and sausages and meat products from the farm. They are happy because the supermarkets pay them fuck all, and I am happy because I get better quality produce. I also buy the veg, that I don't grow myself, direct from the farmer, and now have my own chickens who I only feed high quality food to for my eggs.

What was the thread about again? ;)
