Today is July 23, which, if you haven't heard, means that it is National Hot Dog Day. According to the Examiner, that is a real holiday which comes with a lot of deals and discounts.
The hot dog has become somewhat of a national food since it's a preferred snack at most baseball, football and basketball games; so, I guess it does warrant its own special day. Holiday Insights approximates that people in the US buy about 837 million hot dogs per year.
Companies such as 7-Eleven, which is offering free hot dogs, Kangaroo Express or Arby's are participating in the event.
Posted above is an advert made particularly for this occasion by Sonic. They are offering a $1 (€0.76) hot dog offer. For the small sum, you can get a 6-inch (15.24-cm) Chili Cheese Coney or an All-American Dog.
