That thing is built like a tank and a probable fire hazard.

Back in the '70s my parents got gifted an electric hot dog cooker. It basically had two rows of electrode spikes and you'd stick a bunch of hot dogs between the spikes and electrocute them. Dangerous as fuck since it had no kind of guard or anything - and how hard is it to just boil hot dogs anyway?

That’s crazy! I’ve never heard of that. I love hot dogs and haven’t had them electrocuted. Any good?

I don't remember us ever using the thing. My parents were sort of proto-hippies and we didn't eat stuff like hot dogs very often.

Well, they’re made of pigs lips and assholes you know. Don’t blame them.
