favorite hot dog topping? Why,
mustard, of course.
Ketchup is not as popular as you
might think - people save that for
French Fries. In a recent survey
ketchup ranked behind
sauerkraut, relish and onions as a
hot dog’s most compatible garnish.
The “perfect hot dog size” is 6 to

7 inches long, while so-called “foot
longs" are often misleading
because most are not 12 inches in
length.
What would you say is the most
popular way to prepare hot dogs?
Yes, grilled. Boiling a hot dog
releases all the foods nutrients, so
it is recommended that the boiling
pot be removed from the heat
source so the hot dogs can just
steam.
Do you know by what name hot
dogs were often called before 1901?
Vendors at the ball parks called
them “dachshund sausages.” As
the story goes, one day, sport
swriter Tad Drogan dashed off a
cartoon depicting a talking
sausage. Hurrying to meet his
newspaper deadline, Drogan
realized he could not spell
“dashshund” so he called his
creation “hot dogs.” The new
name stuck.
Do you have any idea how many
JULY PRICING!
hot dogs are eaten every day in the
United States? 20 million? 35 or 50
million? Fifty million is the correct
answer, and in a year’s time, that
enough hot dogs to reach to the
moon and back again three times.
What other crazy condiments do
people like to eat on hot dogs?
Peanut butter and maple syrup are
two unusual items. Gourmet
garnishes are now in vogue.
Shredded lettuce, sweet and sour
sauces, and spicy barbecue and
chill mixtures are growing
favorites. The Chicago style hot
dog sports sliced tomatoes and
cucumbers, dark green relish and
a dash of celery salt while the New
York Dog is covered with steamed
onions.
A hot dog in a bun still ranks
number one at the ballpark, but
Americans do not always eat them
on a bun at home any more.

Oily Stains: A
Laundering Problem
Oily greasy stains on clothes are
a common laundering problem.
They can be caused by a number of
factors including the use of an
insufficient amount of detergent to
hold the soil in solution until the
end of the wash cycle. To resolve
the problem, treat the stains with a
prewash stain remover or liquid
laundry detergent. Then, launder
with an increased amount of
detergent.
A wash water temperature that
is too low is another cause. The
problem can be remedied by in
creasing the temperature and can
be prevented by using the hottest
water safe for the fabric being
laundered.
Another major cause of oily
stains is the incorrect use of a
fabric softener. When undiluted
fabric softener is poured directly
on fabrics, stain can occur.
Remove the stains by rubbing with
bar soap before laundering. To
prevent the problem, dilute a
liquid fabric softener before ad
ding to the washer.
Problems arising with the use of
a dryer-added fabric softener can
be caused by drying too small a
load, selecting an improper dryer
cycle or using too high a drying
temperature. In each instance,
remove the stains by rubbing the
fabric softener stains with bar
soap and launder. Prevent a
reoccurrence caused by too small
a load by adding a few clean bath
towels to the dryer load for proper
tumbling. Select the appropriate
dryer cycle to avoid staining
caused by an improper cycle
selection. If a dryer is too hot,
reduce the dryer temperature.
