Just asking.

Anyways, do you put mustard on it? I do, whenever I eat one.

Found this on the wikipedia page for "pronto pup"

"Pronto Pups are made with a pancake batter based mix and should not be confused with the corn dog, which is coated in a batter made with corn flour"

I guess you learn something new every day.

p.s. corn dog has its own wiki page too. I'm not visiting it...I'm ODing on minutae!

(Not counting Popsicles and other sweet stuff)
The joke here at the annual Taste of Chicago was all the normal stuff they'd try to put on a stick.

Those strips of mystery meat on a stick they used to sell on the streets of Okinawa were probably first.

Did the corndog make any unusual statements or gestures? If you had to do it all over again would you, and under what circumstances?
