Image from the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council showing that Americans eat about 20 billion hot dogs each year - or around 70 hot dogs per person.
I honestly canโt remember the last time I ate a Hot Dog. Some motherfucker is eating 140 Hot Dogs a year to make up for my transgression
It's me I fucking Love hot dogs
I'm definitely picking up a little of your slack, but 140 is a lot. Jesus.
These numbers seem to be out of date. No date is listed on the infographic. But if you calculate the population from their numbers you get a US population of 285 million, or approximately the US population from the 2000 census.
Despite the out of date data, the number should seem low because the methodology assumes all Americans eat hot dogs.
Some people don't eat hot dogs. But they are included with this methodology. According to a 2018 survey by Gallop, 5% of the US are vegetarians. If we remove them from our population and recalculate...
75 hot dogs per person. Still seems low.
I'm doing my part
I wonder how much eating contests affect this data
Wonder how many of these hotdogs came from Costco lol
I this how many hotdogs people are eating or how many are purchased? Does this include the over buying some people do for events?
Who? You want to know how many I have eaten? Because I don't find pig stomach that appetizing
