A Drinking Straw for Beer, Shaped Like a Hot Dog
Oscar Mayer's Hot Dog Straw sold out almost immediately
I feel queasy writing this, but: A year ago this video went viral. If you've not seen it, it's a guy at a Mets game methodically using a drinking straw to hollow out a hot dog. He then uses the hot dog itself as a straw to drink his beer. As I'm typing this bile is coming up the back of my throat.
Well, Oscar Mayer saw an opportunity, a greenlit a small production run of silicone straws shaped like hot dogs. "Using a delicious Oscar Mayer wiener as its muse," the company writes, "the Oscar Mayer Hot Dog Straw mirrors the same size and color of a delicious, cooked dog and is made using food safe soft silicone to replicate the feel of a real Oscar Mayer hot dog."
Although the product idea seems to have been generated by the Mets fan in the original video, the design work to replicate it in silicone was done by Brooklyn-based Spitfire Industry. They did a good job too, as the Hot Dog Straws sold out almost immediately.

Why did they not make them real hotdogs?
It appears they restock daily.
