Hot Dog Council Forecasts Another Grand Slam
For Perennial Baseball Favorite
Hot Dogs To Be Consumed in Ballparks Would Round Bases 41,667 Times

Washington, D.C., March 28, 2008 – While the starting lineups of many Major League baseball teams may have changed since the celebratory champagne was corked last season, one thing that remains steady is the unwavering popularity of hot dogs in our nation’s ballparks.

The quintessential “Iron Man” of stadium snacks, the hot dog hit a home run in the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council’s (NHDSC) annual survey of Major League stadiums again this year, with the NHDSC forecasting that ballparks around the country will consume more than 30 million hot dogs this season — an impressive feat and enough to round the bases 41,667 times.
