Happy National Hot Dog Day, America! In celebration of this fantastic holiday, several of our nation’s food retailers will give you free hot dogs when you visit their establishments. Let’s go over some of the big ones below.
UPDATE: Because I am a total idiot, I thought today was July 23rd. But no: It’s July 24th. Ergo, National Hot Dog Day was yesterday and not today. I apologize to any confused hot dog fans whose hopes I just dashed.
FROM EARLIER: I never knew competitive cup stacking could be exciting until I saw this mind-blowing video
- The Philly Pretzel Factory: If you’re one of the first 300 customers at a Philly Pretzel Factory on Friday, you will get a free hot dog.
