What do you do with a huge hot dog that is washed up on a Cook Inlet beach in Alaska? Light it on fire! That's what trekkers Graham Kraft, Andy Fischer, Eben Sargent, and Luc Mehl attempted.
The giant foam hot dog in a bun that Luc Mehl and friends stumbled across this spring on the edge of Alaska nowhere left him haunted.
probably part of a traveling carnival or circus at one point... why would they burn it?? That could have led to an interesting history lesson
It’s Carlos Danger!
It was from a fast food place. High school pranksters put it in Knik Arm years ago and it migrated with wind and tide,
Those boys should run because Paul Bunyan is gonna be pissed when he comes back and finds his lunch all burned up.

“It was the hot dog off Miller’s Ice Cream,’’ Spangler admitted under intense questioning.
Spangler’s memory is that Miller’s store was for a time out of business and some high school students thought they’d liberate the hot dog. He claimed not to remember who was involved, but he did remember the group took the dog on a “joyride’’ that ended with them “tying it up with some rope under the Old Glenn Highway bridge.’’
...cuz it’s a HOT dog?
Giant Flaming Weenies!
What a great name for a rock band.

To my surprise, one hundred stories high
People getting loose y’all, getting down on the roof
Folks are screaming, out of control
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
(Burnin’)
I couldn’t get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down y’all
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Up above my head
I hear music in the air
That makes me know
There’s a party somewhere
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
(Burnin’)
I couldn’t get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn)
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down

Probably from a Japanese Hot Dogu Stand.
Washed out to sea by the big Tsunami and found it’s way to Alaska...
Why, I’ve seen herds of these things on the tundra. You don’t want to spook them. There’s nothing more dangerous than a weenie stampede.
“There’s nothing more dangerous than a weenie stampede”
Tell that to the residents of Washington, DC

It’s a good idea to have one of these in your backpack when you go into the wilderness.
“Crap! It’s a grizzly sow and we’re between her and her cubs! What are we going to do?”
“Quick! Frank! Throw out the weener decoy!”
“Look! It’s a Viking funeral for Barney Frank!”
(Minor spelling correction)
Have the EPA arrested and charged them yet for air pollution and burning without a permit?
Fumes from burning styrofoam are toxic.
And generating toxic smoke, too, as smokingfrog points out.
