For little kids - slice the hotdog lengthwise once or twice all the way through, (or simply butterfly’ed prior to cooking.)

Problem solved. No product design necessary.

Your suggestion, although very logical, requires entirely too much personal responsibility.

Folks trying to justify a paycheck often spend a whole heckuva lot of time, effor and money on a revolutionary solution, when there's a perfectly good, cheap and simple answer to be had.

So your solution is the splitadicktemy method? Slicing a hot dog will release all the steamy juicy goodness, leaving the diner with nothing more than a flayed, dried, useless piece of meat. Many a divorce has been based on this alone.

That’s what we did, lol. Sliced it in half lengthwise then into pieces.
