My kids only eat the dog. They rip off and discard the delicious corn coating like it's a banana peel. Why don't we just offer them regular hot dogs, you ask? We do, but "they don't taste the same." Monsters. So now we don't buy corn dogs because I'm not paying corn dog prices for hot dog meals.

My partner does almost the same thing, she eats the skin off completely and then eats the hot dog part you know, like a psychopath

I do the same and the logic is with us. Crust first ensures you will not experience any toppings or condiments running away. You get everything behaving itself riiight in the middle. That might just be me; I am obsessed with condiments.

You check the ingredients? Corn dogs are often chicken sausages, whereas normal hot dogs are usually beef/pork?

I imagine you gotta get that hint of sweet and gritty leftover corn wrap, too, though. And the crunchy bit at the bottom. It's a delicacy that's hard to re-create.

We tried to make our own corn dogs, thinking that would be cheaper for them to destroy, but they didn't like them.

That is when you start giving them regular hotdogs and tell them they were pealed corndogs.

Yeah Mr Moneybags where would I even get 7 corndogs?

7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.

I'm no American, but I'm assuming they're using cornmeal in that batter. I can't eat cornmeal and will certainly regret it.

Cooking up seven corndogs seems like more effort than making a quick meal.

I don't even have a corndog cooker.

You are not supposed to make them. Just eat 7 of them.

If I'm going to the trouble of picking corn and catching a dog, I'm not going to eat them raw like some heathen.

Oven works fine. Though at that point a frozen pizza or frozen anything would be better.

Wait, people make their own corn dogs from scratch? I assumed people just bought them frozen and heated them up in the oven or air fryer.

Lol well I'm glad it motivated you.

Cooking is just such a chore. I've never enjoyed it. Now and then I get inspired to try a recipe. It never ends all that great and I inevitably am left with an annoying mess to clean up after. No, "cleaning as I go", doesn't work for me either. No matter how much people try to get me to do it, it never pans out for me. I absolutely despise it. It's like getting teeth pulled.

What I eat either consists of prepackaged meals, or frozen meat/veggies that I heat up in the microwave/air fryer, or takeout. I'm in my late 20s and it has worked out for me so far so I don't feel the need to change either.

An air fryer is a game changer. Unbelievably convenient for preparing 7 corndogs and other lazy meals like grilled salmon filet and asparagus.

I've heard this... I have a massive dehydrator for jerky and dog treats, and yet I have no kitchen appliances lol. Maybe I should adult more and splash out.

This meme lies. I followed its instructions and ate 7 corn dogs including the stick and now I have a belly ache.

Also, I'm pooping blood. Is that normal?
