Everyone is always talking about whether a hot dog is a sandwich, but no one ever asks the most important hot dog question — Should a hot dog weigh 66 pounds?

For hot dog company Feltman's, the answer is yes. The great business gave Coney Island, New York its first hot dog in 1867. Recently it made a 66-pound, 5-foot long hot dog. It hoped to break the Guinness World Record for the world's biggest hot dog.

People actually ate the hot dog. In fact, they paid $10 for each piece at a lower Manhattan block party. They would collect all the money and give it to the Headstrong Project on mental health care for veterans, because they once fought for people in the war time and were elder heroes to the country. People could taste each piece with some seasoning like mustard and sauerkraut.
