The Mysterious Case Of The Missing Ballpark Franks

[Ulysses G.]

i take the word of the hundreds of good grass root Americans that know when and when they are not being sold an american sara lee hot dog!

Actually, the photos of the label do not match the photo of her hand around the package. In other words, the photos prove nothing. What is significantly more telling is that I did not eat a Ballpark Frank, and I did eat a hotdog that was boiled at the 4th of July celebration. And there appears to be many who are of the same opinion that the boiled hotdogs at the 4th of July celebration were not Ballpark Franks. That's enough for me. However, if you wish to believe that they were Ballpark Franks that's fine. But if you happen to have one some day, you will realize what we have been talking about.

I guess that folks have to decide for themselves if those famous Ball Park Franks deserve their reputation, or not. An awful lot of people went all the way out there and paid a hundred baht entrance fee, just to eat a world famous, premium hotdog or two.

Are Ball Park Franks really skinny little things with little taste or big, plump franks, bursting with flavor? Say what you like, no one has claimed to have had anything tastier than an average 7/11 hotdog, and that is a fact.

Maybe it is time to throw the full weight of the TV investigative division on this case as well as that other mystery (just what is that rubbery inner tube like substance that is expelled while fasting or after irrigation) currently mystifying the membership. Somehow I feel the cases are related.

The dogs served were Ballpark Franks, 'bun' variety (smaller than the standard) ordered via the American commissary.

And it's a frozen Sara Lee product, not a frank from Katz Deli or Crif Dogs in NYC.

"smaller than standard" Hummm... i have heard that before...

maybe these are made in Vietnam or Combodia now for the Asian market .. Sara Lee corp may well be all part of this ..major multinational conglomerate .

As far as I am concerned, this post clears thing up for me. Apparently, Ball Park Franks have an excellent reputation that they do not deserve, their slogan is misleading and the reason that they were so small is that a skinny variety was served.

All of the people who refused to believe that these were real Ball Park Franks had excellent reasons - I honestly did not believe it - but I apologize for implying that possibly there was some sort of dishonesty involved. I should have just said that they were really lousy.

Slogan:

1. "Big, Tasty, Ball Park Franks."
   
2. "They plump when you cook 'em."^[2]
