Well, it's true. We actually used "hot dog" as a search string and the results were better than you might expect. Only 29 hits but leaving aside the "wurst" and the "not so wurst" there were several interesting images and windows into pop culture.
Besides the lad with a price on his head there were several other happy hotdog eaters including Frank relishing a frank. The "hot dog shuffle" led to a bit of a primer on meatmarket cheating methods.
A young woman enjoying a solo(save for the butler) seaside picnic turned out to be the lovely and talented Buff Cobb who later married Mike Wallace. With both a butler and a chauffeur we were amused to find that she had nobody to fill the swimming pool.
A family outing to a hot dog stand introduced us to TV comedienne Dagmar who was big in the fifties. In fact she was so big that the missile shaped bumper extensions found on Cadillacs and other cars of the late forties and the fifties came to be known as "Dagmars".
Finally, our taste for the bizarre was whetted by a picture of a model consuming a hot dog and a coke in a cloud of pesticide in order to prove the "safety" of DDT. This led us to other examples of better living through chemistry.
