Ever get a hankerin' for a hot dog while driving down the road? Did you ever wish there was a way you could just toss a few 'dogs in a cooker designed to be used in a car to make satisfying that nearly insatiable hankerin' possible?
Well, your wish has been granted! Or rather, it was granted over 75 years ago when the Thomas company of Chicago introduced the Mickey's Hot Dog Sizzler. It could cook two hot dogs at one time and was small enough to store in most glove compartments.
Unfortunately, these are no longer being manufactured. Maybe one will pop up on Ebay.
Hard to imagine that in this day and age of self-driving electric cars that boast infotainment screens almost twice the size of the average home television screen available to the retail consumer 75 years ago, a person has to satisfy their on-the-road hot dog hankering with cold wieners.
