🌭 My £28 Hot Dog Lesson🛒** So, I've seen quite a few folks in the property world being open about their recent mistakes—sharing both the highs and the lows. It's only fair that I do the same, so here's my latest blunder, straight from my recent holiday in Turkey. You know that first big supermarket run when you're self-catering? The one where you stock up on cereals, bread, some beers, and a bit of everything to get through the week? Well, that's where it all went wrong for me. Thinking Turkey was cheap, I went to the till, and *ouch*—£80 for the lot! I thought, "Okay, maybe Turkey isn't as cheap as I remembered." But the real kicker came in week two. The kids asked for lunch, so I decided to get some hot dogs again. Back at the supermarket, I grabbed a jar of those American-style hot dogs and some buns. £30 at the till for hot dogs?! Something had to be wrong. I got the manager, and nope, the pricing was correct. Turns out, those hot dogs were £28 for the jar—no wonder my first shop was so expensive! Lesson learned: don’t make the same mistake twice. The hot dogs went back on the shelf, and I took the kids out for a meal—it was cheaper than those pricey hot dogs! 😂 Whether it’s in property or holiday shopping, we all make mistakes. The key is to learn from them and share our stories so others don’t fall into the same trap. Have you had a similar “ouch” moment recently? p.s please don’t judge me regarding feeding the kids these, they really did ask for them!! 🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭 P.p.s it’s 40 TL to the £ #LearnFromMistakes #PropertyJourney #HolidayFiascos #RealLifeLessons #BeatTheDay

🌭 Decoding America's Love Affair with Hot Dogs 🌭 The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council reports an astonishing consumption of approximately 20 billion hot dogs annually, clearly showing Americans believe there's no such thing as too many hot dogs! Hot dogs epitomize convenience—they are precooked, easy to prepare, and a staple at any backyard BBQ or ball game. They surged in popularity during the pandemic, with sales skyrocketing by 127% in March 2020 alone. Yet, despite their popularity, hot dogs represent a culinary oddity, often scrutinized for their mysterious ingredients and unconventional consumption patterns. Our love for hot dogs dates back to the 19th century, thanks to German immigrants who introduced their sausage-making traditions. These humble beginnings have become a nationwide phenomenon, with hot dogs symbolizing leisure and summertime fun. But it is not all relish and mustard; the hot dog industry faces challenges, from environmental concerns to fluctuating market prices. Still, the resilience of this frankfurter shows its undying place in American culture—whether as a budget-friendly meal or the subject of viral social media trends. So, whether you grill one at home or grab one at a game, the hot dog remains a beloved, albeit peculiar, piece of Americana.

Today is National Hot Dog Day celebrating hot dogs as one of the staples of American cuisine. A hot dog is a cooked sausage served in a sliced bun, typically with garnishes and condiments. Sausages (also known as frankfurters) were brought to the U.S. by German immigrants in the 19th century. The German immigrants brought not just sausages but also dachshunds when they came to the U.S.. The name 'hot dog' possibly began as a joke about their thin, long and small dogs. In fact, the Germans called their dish 'dachshund sausages' or 'little dog', thus connecting the term 'dog' to the hot dog. Over the years, hot dogs have become one of the most popular street foods in the USA. The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council was established in 1994 by the American Meat Institute, the largest and oldest trade association that represents the U.S. meat and poultry industry. The Council is dedicated to providing consumers and media with information concerning nutrition, preparation, safety and quality of sausages and hot dogs as iconic American foods. To celebrate National Hot Dog Day, invite your friends over for a cookout and enjoy delicious hot dogs with your favorite condiments and garnishes. How do you have your hot dog today?

Never ever will I eat hot dog eww I can’t just imagine myself munching on a dog, even if it was just a hot dog. Because of this I don't eat Sharwama, Pizza or even Fried rice once I site hot dog in it. Last week, I had a hilarious experience at the supermarket that I just have to share with you. As I was browsing the aisles, a pack of hot dogs fell from the top shelf and landed right in front of me. I quickly caught it before it hit the ground, but as I was putting it back, I noticed something on the back of the package that caught my attention. Wait what - the hot dogs were made with chicken, not actual dogs! Picked another pack to be sure of what I just read oh made with beef 🤭 Omo I've missed on a lot delicious meal because of this silly misconception. I felt so relieved and embarrassed at the same time. I mean, imagine avoiding hot dogs for over 20 + years I couldn't resist buying two packs of hot dogs to finally give them a try. When I got home, I put them on the grill and took my first bite. It was love at first bite! The juicy and smoky flavor of the hot dog was just amazing, and I couldn't stop eating them. This experience made me realize that many people may have misconceptions about your business or service, no matter how common it is.

You are welcome sunshine 🤗 #Lillitribe is rooting for you Who else thought hot dog were made from dogs😂let’s meet in the comment session. PS: I've always eaten hot dogs, can't take shawarma without them. And just to be clear, the supermarket part is entirely fictional. PSS:Hot dogs are not made from actual dog but from beef, pork meat, and chicken. Just make sure to check the pack before picking incase you don't like pork Repost to help other see this I am Kenny Owolabi a web content writer and brand story teller, I’d love to connect with you #contentcreation

Who loves hot dogs? Nearly everyone, right? So let me tell you a story about Takeru Kobayashi... As a poor student in the 1990’s Kobayashi discovered speed eating contests and decided the way to pay the bills would enter and win these competitions. The issue was he had never entered one of ‘em in his life, much less knew anything about speed eating. Thing was there was no X where he could follow Xdoggers (yeah, I know) and buy their latest course to figure out the 17 bestest most wonderful hacks to slamming hot dogs down his gullet. There was no LinkedIn where he could follow the latest hot dog munching guru who was dishing out subpar information based on half-truths that they themselves had got from the Xdoggers (yeah, yeah, I know) and HotDogBois. So what was he to do? He hankered down and he tried shit out. > He broke the dogs into half allowing for more chewing options and leaving extra time for loading the next dog up > Struggling with the density of the buns he tried dipping them in vegetable oil and water to make them less chewy and go down faster > He experimented with different chewing techniques and wriggling the food down his throat and stomach > He tried sprinting, pacing and other speed techniques He was experimenting. Not going down the trodden path. He recorded all of the data in spreadsheets and videoed himself so he could watch the techniques back. He tested everything. Then he entered a Japanese variety show and won it - becoming a star in his home country. When he turned up at Nathan's Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest in July 2001 (as a rookie) he was the rank outsider. An unknown. The world record at the time was 25 ⅛ hot dogs in 12 minutes. He gobbled up 50. And won. And a bunch of other stuff over the years. No following best practices. No assumptions. No lazy hacks. No shortcuts. No free courses. No following hashtags or trends. No blindly copying competitors. No listening to the "experts". Fuck the "experts". Just hard work and experimentation. —---  “When I try to do something, I always think, "What is the best way to do this?" Instead of taking what everyone else says and how it has been forever, it's faster for me to try myself. Of course I listen to what everybody says, and at first I'll try what people say, but I always come back to trying it my way.”  Takeru Kobayashi

When we think of summer, hot dogs come to mind almost immediately. It’s just part of the overall experience. A summer day at the amusement park or at a baseball stadium pairs nicely with a hot dog (or tofu dog, for those of you who prefer a meatless version). Hot dogs don’t have to be made with meat, and anyone can enjoy the age old American favorite food any time of year. 🌭🌭 Of all the toppings you can add to a hot dog, mustard comes in first as the most popular hot dog condiment, followed by ketchup and chili, respectively. If you need a quick and easy meal this summer, look no further. Boil them, grill them, heck, eat ’em cold as long as they’re precooked. It’s the simplicity and affordability that makes them such a great summer snack. Who wants to stress over what to cook anyway? ❓: Do you like hot dogs? #HotDogDay #ZempelInsurance #LakeMills #LakeMillsOffice #LakeMillsInsurance #HotDogLover #ChiliDog #GrillMaster #HotDogDebate
