Weenie Wing Commander Fires Meat Torpedoes

Mark Wilson — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 11:30:00 EST

While I've always preferred encapsulating my hot dogs in a black crust of carcinogens prior to ingestion, there are others of you who prefer a slow roasted wiener...preferably involving a spaceship in some way.

From the same brilliant creators of the Roast My Weenie, the Weenie Wing Commander exploits the classic X-wing schematic to support a double armament of meat tubes. Simple. Effective. And an excellent way to tempt little ones into touching a fiery-hot grill. $20. [Weenie Wing Commander via Nerd Approved]

The Story of the Great Philadelphia Hot Dog Launcher

Dan Nosowitz — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:30:00 EST

Hot dog maker Hatfield constructed a hot dog launcher with the help of the Philly Phanatic, famous weirdo mascot of the Philadelphia Phillies, for use during Phillies games. And now, in a fit of boredom and comedic inspiration, they've released a "documentary" detailing the making of the launcher. It's absolutely hilarious, and I'm not saying that just because I'm Gizmodo's token Pennsylvanian.

The video ends with a "Hatfield engineer" looking into the distance and musing about how nuclear power might be in the future for the launcher: "We've talked about rocket-propelled hot dogs, we've said, you know, is nuclear power an option? We'd have to play with it a little bit..." It's pretty much the best mockumentary I've seen since Summer Heights High. Thank you, Hatfield, for extending my Philly pride six minutes further.

Hot "Dog" Cooker, Barks When Ready

Just what I need to piss off my dog even more, a barking puppy shaped hot dog steamer. She already gets mad when I'm making hot dogs since they smell so good to her puppy nose. But now, when they are done steaming, it will bark loud taunting woofs at her.

They're going for $35.00, and I apologize to your dog in advance. – Ben Longo
