Hot Dogs were invented in Frankfurt, Germany in 1484.

In 1957, the United States Chamber of Commerce officially designated the month of July as National Hot Dog Month.

The average American eats roughly 50 hot dogs per year.

450 hot dogs are eaten every second of the day in the United States.

Babe Ruth once ate 12 hot dogs and 8 bottles of soda between games of a doubleheader.

Roosevelt served King George VI of England hot dogs and beer during a White House visit in 1939. Mrs. Rosalynn Carter served hot dogs at a White House picnic in 1977.

Hot Dogs got their name at The Polo Grounds in New York City in 1901. Vendors sold hot dogs from hot water tanks, shouting, "They're red hot! Get your Dachshund sausages while they are red hot!" Cartoonist Tad Dorgan sketched the vendors but unsure of how to spell dachshund, he simply wrote "Hot Dog!" and that is how the name was given.

Mustard is the most popular topping- 87% of hot dog eaters use it, although children favor ketchup.


 

"It is well recognized that the Papaya contains peculiar and valuable digestive properties, which make it of great value in the diet."
-report of U.S. Dept. of Agriculture


The Papaya melon has a distinctive flavor and aroma which cannot be likened to any other fruit.

Papaya melons range from 4 to 20 inces and weigh as much as 10 pounds.

Papaya is the only food containing PAPAIN, a powerful enzyme that digests proteins.

Papain is a fine digestive enzyme, the active principal of Papaya.

In digesting proteins, Papain frees the Amino Acids for quick absorbtion by the body.
