Did not watch. I don't want to know how they are made...

This video doesn't do much to dispel the myth that hotdogs are made of lips and assholes.

If, at your age, you still think hot dogs are healthy food, watching this video is not going to change your mind.

(I'll take 2 with the works, please.)

I used to love Oscar Mayer's dogs until they changed the recipe taking out the nitrates and no longers smoking them. Now they're crap!

The part they didn't show is that they take the casing off the hotdogs:

Maybe they were crap before the change, and all they did was remove the ingredients that masked the crappyness. That’s how spices became a thing, after all.

Hot dog machine gun. I always heard if you saw how they were made, you wouldn't eat them anymore. It didn't work. I'm an adventurous eater. I do draw the line at pork brains.

Having raised animals for meat for more than two decades, doing field kill/slaughter and dealing with livestock (and if you deal with livestock, you also get to deal with dead stock), I never had a problem with sausage making either.

Brains was not something I was interested in either, especially once I learned about mad cow disease...

Commercially produced will always use the cheapest offal, lights and pipes as my grandfather sold to make 'meat' paste (pork brawn) to those who could not afford better cuts of meat, though they didn't show mechanically/hydraulically recovered meat slurry in the mix you can be sure it's in there in most hot-dog manufacturing plants.
