The Colorado Rockies Have Introduced a Hot Dog Monstrosity and I Want to Eat It Lady and the Tramp-Style

Hello everyone, it's Friday. Have you seen the Really Big Hot Dog?

No, this is not a bit. It's called the "Glizzilla," which I person learned comes from a slang connection for blistery canine "glizzy" and "Godzilla", a kaiju originating successful his titular 1954 film. The Glizzilla has been brought into this satellite by the Colorado Rockies (a Major League Baseball squad for those who don't travel baseball, but whitethorn inactive travel blistery dogs). Glizzilla is 23 inches agelong (58.42 cm), which is longer than 2 Nintendo Switch 2s placed end-to end, and astir arsenic agelong arsenic one-and-a-half PS5s. If you acceptable it upright vertically, it would beryllium astir arsenic gangly arsenic a Charmander, oregon 3 Digletts (basically a crushed blistery dog) stacked. The bun is 19 inches long, conscionable a small longer than a Dachsbun, a Pokemon someway not astatine each associated with blistery dogs. Bleacher Report says the full happening weighs 1 pound.

It seems the Glizzilla tin beryllium served with a assortment of toppings, apt self-administered, arsenic it is being sold astatine shot games. I person seen videos of it with ketchup, mustard, relish, mayo, and onion. The Rockies urge having 2 radical devour 1 Glizzilla together, which instantly invokes images of eating an tremendous blistery canine similar Lady and the Tramp devour spaghetti successful their movie, but you could astir apt besides conscionable chopped it successful fractional similar a mean person.

The highest obstruction to blistery doggy bliss appears to beryllium the price: One Glizzilla is $45, which is acold excessively overmuch to walk connected a blistery dog. I could acquisition a bundle of blistery dogs and a bundle of buns astatine the store for a fewer bucks, enactment them each up, and devour astir 4 of them successful 1 sitting to get astatine thing similar this experience. I could besides be a Dollar Dog Night astatine a Kansas City Royals crippled (first Tuesday location crippled of each month) and bid 45 $1 dollar blistery dogs and person acold much blistery dogs than is tenable for immoderate quality to eat, assuming a well-meaning Royals worker did not effort to halt me.

If you person $45 to stroke connected a novelty blistery canine for a bit, you tin find them astatine the Colorado Rockies' games successful Section 157. Throughout the parkland you tin besides acquisition different good delicacies specified arsenic a "Pizza Donut" (self-explanatory) and the present wide 9-9-9 Challenge, kicked disconnected by infamous blistery canine eater Joey Chestnut, wherever you effort to devour 9 beers and 9 miniature blistery dogs crossed 9 innings. Chestnut has not weighed successful arsenic to whether the arguable "dunking" strategy is acceptable for completing the challenge.

I'm done penning astir the large blistery canine now, but arsenic a Royals instrumentality I did person to poke my caput successful and spot what weird nutrient they're serving up this twelvemonth and I'm present reasoning I should person written this astir this happening called the "hot canine Wellington" which The Pitch helpfully describes as, "A footlong all-beef blistery dog, wrapped successful prosciutto, duxelles, and finished with a aureate brownish puff pastry intended to satisfy." You tin get it astatine Rivals, implicit successful close field. If you privation to. I volition not beryllium doing that. 45 regular $1 blistery dogs it is. Happy shot season, everyone!
