34. Hit a mustard truck and instantly made an Red Hot.

Sorry! That's a Tiger Stadium allusion, a memory from my youth. The hot dogs in the stands were only available with mustard and/or onions and were called Red Hots.

Get yer Red Hots!

If you wanted ketchup or relish, or whatever, the Red Hot seller would get very cranky, informing you that ketchup, or whatever, was available at the concession under the stands. Red Hots came only with mustard and/or onions and were only available in the stands. The only difference between them and the dogs under the stands was the availability of other condiments, but then they would not be Red Hots.

Briggs/Tiger stadium in Detroit was a wonderful place to watch baseball. The Red Hots were really great, too.
