Hot dog! It's National Hot Dog Day!
Believe it or not, hot dogs were one of the first foods ever eaten in space! Apollo 11 astronauts munched thermostabilized frankfurters (frozen dogs) during their moon mission. Apparently, they’re easier to eat in zero gravity than ice cream. (They are still an approved food in space.)
According to Guinness World Records, the longest hot dog ever made measured over 668 feet long!
