Everybody loves a good hot dog! The best thing about hot dogs is that you can eat one at any time, between meals as a snack, between snacks as a mini snack….and as a meal too! They are great because they are very uncomplicated, cook them any way you want (takes maximum of 3 mins), then put them in a bun, and go crazy….right??

Apparently, these guys want to rediscover the wheel ….

So far so good, right?? The picture of a hotdog on their package is put on a small booklet that includes more pictures…

After this main cover page, things start to go wrong…..very wrong…

They start giving “alternative” suggestions for using the hot dog! First suggestion -

Hot dogs with your cole slaw….hmmm, if this doesnt kill your appetite, wait till you read their punchline, which is roughly translated to “Cole slaw lovers will enjoy adding some protien to the salad”! Hmmm…..no?! Its cole slaw, Im not a big fan, but even if I was, I cant imagine meat with my cole slaw! And who came with the great idea of referring to your hot dogs as “protien”??

Let’s continue -

Hot dog soup! Mmmmm..mmmmmm ….. If the sound of that wasn’t bad enough, they sure killed it with the picture, although the concept is enough to discourage you! The caption says “Enjoy (for a female) a soup rich with protien, vitamins, and fiber, a delicious and healthy soup”! Again, it sounds like a chemistry lesson, and I felt weird reading this after realizing this product or brochure is directed purely for women :P

Suggestion 3 -

Aaah yes, the ever famous hot dog biryani, an all time Indian cuisine classic! eww….I wont even have to comment on this one!
Last, but by no means least -

Apparently this is “Maccaroni with vegetables and hot dog”, I do see maccaroni in the picture, and I see vegetables, and I see hot dog, but this doesnt really look like a specific dish, it just looks like a mix of yesterday’s leftovers!

After checking out these great suggestions, do you feel more likely or less likely to buy this product??

Peronally, one simple picture of this product at its greatest would do a much better job in making me want to buy some hot dogs -

Ahh yes, how great is simplicity? Im a big believer in the saying “If it aint broken….don’t fix it”! And this is an example of how you can make something classic and delicious like a hot dog seem less than appetizing!
