Pediatricians Call For a Choke-Proof Hot Dog

[fancbrd4me02]

Why don't they just prosecute the parents for feeding whole hot dogs to toddlers instead of punishing the world with hot dog patties or whatever? Oh wait, right it's never the parent's fault.

Okay, this is kind of off topic, but sorta on topic... I saw something VERY COOL on Rachel Rae show the other week.

Put grapes between two margarine lids and you can press down lightly with one hand, slice through all of them perfectly in the middle with a knife in the other hand! Two seconds, and a bunch of grapes are perfectly cut in half!!! Ain't it GREAT!!!????

I'd still manage to cut my hand off. Then choking would be the least of my troubles...

Ok,, I'm laughing,, I guess Vienna Sausages are bad too then,, they are a little fatter than the average dog. Hot Dog Slurry,, been there!! I put a hot dog, ketchup, mustard and half a bun in the blender and ate it,, and a few hours later I put liver, potatoes, onions and a little milk in the blender,, it was my first few days allowed to drink food with more consistency than water in a year! I didn't choke on the hot dog,, I did gag a bit, but I got it down! Don't ask what else you can "blenderize" ehehehehhe.

I, like a lot of people have stated, cut up hotdogs for my children when they were small. That is, WHEN we had hotdogs. There are better things nutritionally.

An even bigger choking hazard than hot dogs are mini marshmallows. They are just the right size to plug up a child's throat, and don't come loose very easily.

'nuf said. Shall we also redesign dirt not to be a carrier for cooties? Rather than making sure kids wash up after playing in it? Really, some of this stuff is beyond stupid. For a warning label to work people actually have to read it, and just ask a nutritionist just how many actually read the back of the box... if they did then hot dogs would have gone the way of the dodo anyways. Bah!

Well the chicken nugget and I use the term "chicken" loosly are pressed into all sorts of shapes, lunch meat is too so I say why not? sounds like the path we are already on. So lets make hot dog into the shape of life saver rings, goes great with the freaky blue and purple dyed GO-Gurt (or whatever that stuff is called) and all that other crap people feed their kids.
