I never noticed how modest my childhood lifestyle was until my 1st grade teacher asked the class what we all did for vacation during the school break. I worked on a ranch or stayed home playing with secondhand toys. I remember thinking "wait... is this what people do? How?" I remember missing out on many opportunities as a child (travel, sports, restaurants, etc) due to finances, but still don't consider it being a "poor" upbringing overall. My parents did the best they could with what they had, and I think having limited opportunities actually helped me be more creative with my time.

Anyway, back to the point... when we had them available sometime after getting a microwave, I ate hot dogs like this periodically in elementary school through college.

The real question is why the hell would you place the hot dog in this direction. Being vertical means the bread will not fully wrap around the dog and therefore not hold any condiments. Horizontally will allow for adequate condiments. The only downside being the ends of the bread will have hotdog sticking out.

Thats an aussie delicacy, what struggle?

Snags ftw, mate!

I would sometimes just eat the bread with yellow mustard. It's rough.

I never understood how this was somehow a sign of being poor. I don't buy hotdog buns. I have always ate my hotdogs this way.

Its a "classy" way to eat a heated Bockwurst or Wiener in Germany. On of the few meals, that are often typically served with white toast bread.

How the fuck else am I supposed to eat the remaining 2 hot dogs once the pack of buns runs out? ( It's usually 3 because one of the buns decided to disintegrate at some point between the package and the plate.)

It's still industrial sausage on industrial bread. Fold it and there isn't much difference.

Struggle?! The ol' Bunnings snag is a delicacy!

Flat the sandwich bread with a rolling pin or a bottle (or whatever you have) then cover the weiner all around, at thins point you can add breadcrumbs and egg or leave it. Put it om airfryer for a while and there you go. Korean hot dog

That sausage gives me the creeps. Please just a real one

Replace the hotdog with regular sausage (cooked on a barbecue), and you've literally got Australia's favourite weekend food. Onions (also barbecued) and tomato sauce optional.

IMO thats not even a struggle.

Real struggle is when you don't even have a hot dog so you just make a mustard sandwich. That's what my childhood was like.

Am i the only one who would cut it in half and then cut those in half if it was going on white bread? I would then stack them and make an actual sandwich.

Fuck me! This is brilliant! I am gonna do just this!

These mfs don't know the struggle til they've tried hotsauce bread AKA HSB
