The general verdict is that hot dogs are choke-on-able.  Though they are hot and dogs, they can still be choked upon.  Though this may sound silly to some, hot dogs are not actually dogs.  Yes, I said it, they are not actually dogs.  The name hot dogs may imply that they are dogs, they are not.  Do not get me wrong, I am sure that in Asia, there are actually literal ‘hot dogs’ that are eaten.  It does sound cruel and unusual, but this is not the 8th Amendment of the United States Constitution.  This has to do with Asians and dogs.  Poor dogs, not getting protections from the 8th Amendment (and if you did not know, it has to do with cruel and unusual punishment), although I assume that they do not get any sort of this protection anywhere.  Maybe some day dogs will write out their own constitution.  That will be the day, the glorious day for dogs, doggies, pups, puppies.  Not so much for Asians and other dog delicacy lovers.
