Everyone loves a good wiener. But which frankfurter is the most satisfying? The humble Ball Park Beef Frank, measuring only 4.6 inches, barely fills the bun. On the other hand, a single Polish kielbasa comes in almost 20 inches in length. It might be big enough for the whole gang, but it’s a bit unwieldy, so you’d better know what you’re doing.
Just be sure that your wiener isn’t mocked at the next backyard barbecue by keeping in mind that the average hot dog bun is six inches long.

Plus, I don’t recall how to calculate the volume of a hot dog… I must have skipped that day in high school geometry. More importantly, why aren’t Hebrew National Kosher Hot Dogs included in your survey? I think this is a great oversight on your part…
