I know, I know. Hot dogs aren’t good for you because they contain too many preservatives, and they’re made with meat scraps, and they’re high in sodium. No matter, I still enjoy eating a hot dog sandwich from time to time. I hate to heat up a whole pack at a time, because, unless they’re cooked on the barbecue grill, I end up eating the majority of them. Hot dogs aren’t a family favorite at my house. That’s why, when I spotted individually-wrapped hot dogs I could heat and eat in 30 seconds, I bought a box of them. Read this Oscar Mayer Fast Franks – Premium Beef Franks Food Product Review, and find out all about this product!
Price and Availability
I purchased this product in the cooler section at my local Kroger store where the packs of hot dogs are. They’re rather expensive. I think a box of 3 hot dogs in buns cost $3.69. I could buy an entire pack of hot dogs for that price. I only buy them if I’m really craving a hot dog, or they’re on sale.
Product Description
What do you get for the price? You get three individually-wrapped beef hot dogs in white buns. According to the box, Oscar Mayer Fast Franks – Premium Beef Franks are “portable”, “quick and easy”, which they are. They are “fully cooked” so all you have to do is heat one up and eat it!
The buns are described as “bakery-fresh” that come “soft” and “warm” out of the microwave.
I’ve seen this product in pork hot dog variety and sausage, as well.
