Canned Hot Dogs? Includes “Sack O Sauce”.
Hot Dog Profits reader Steve Fricke just sent me an advertisement that made me chuckle.
Look at this and tell me if you would buy these hot dogs today. How could you resist buying these knowing that each can includes a “Sack O’ Sauce”.
Most of us hot dog slingers have a strong sense of nostalgia. It is a big part of what attracts customers to our businesses, right? I have a fascination with anything from the fifties to the mid seventies and this old ad was really neat to look at. Thanks so much for sending it to me.
Have a great day!

P.S. I don’t recall ever seeing these in stores, do you? Let me know in the comments.

You find canned hotdogs in stores today
They came out in 1950, before my time.
LOL, but YUCK!
Looks like an ad from back in the 50’s or early 60.
I wouldn’t buy it.
I guess I’m spoiled from eating great dogs fer so long !!
Gota have natural casing fer me matey.
I do love the old ad. Some are really great.

Yum! I’ll take a case or maybe two. I have never seen these in any store.
Oh ya ! They were great to take when my friends and I would camping along the Susan River sleeping under the stars when we kids. We would roast them on a stick over a fire, and squirt the sauce on them. Or pop the top squirt in the sauce and put the can on the fire. Cook them just like the Hobos down at the hobo camp along the river. It was hobo dinner for less than a dollar. Thanks Steve for the great memories of things that you could not do today. Blessings Chappy.
i am 63,never saw these.i would be a little wary of trying to sell these.look cool though
I had to check and make sure it wasn’t April fools day. I guess Oscar Meyer really did sell them. I grew up in the 50s and don’t remember them, so it must have been before that. Sounds like a good idea for the time though, before plastics became common.
This would be a great poster to hang on my hotdog cart . A history lesson and conversation piece all in one.
Lol that’s so funny!
’50’s advertising….so “innocent” and “puritan”…
Chicken in a can anyone???????????????????????????????????/
