Happy National Hot Dog Day! According to the Hot Dog and Sausage Council, we'll eat about SEVEN BILLION of them just in the three-plus months between Memorial Day and Labor Day. That's 818 hot dogs a second.

 

Los Angeles eats more of them than any other city, followed by New York, Dallas, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
