Our supermarket’s frozen brand offered three varieties:
- Red Hot (in a red wrapper)
- Mild (in a green wrapper), and
- Chili Dog (in a brown wrapper)
I loved the first two, but Chili Dog was introduced later and I was unfamiliar with it the first (and only) time I tried one. I guessed it would be full of beefy chili dog style chili or something.
I'll never forget my shock the first time I bit into it – The burrito had a whole hot dog in there! It was a hot dog encased in beans, then wrapped in a tortilla and frozen. You would bite into it and pull the whole hot dog out.
It seemed very unnatural and wrong. I was probably 12 or 13 years old and I think I shrieked out loud when I bit in and pulled out a hot dog. It was fucked up. I'm glad it never caught on.
