1, the name "hot dog" is translated from English hotdog. The word hot dog comes from a mistake in a cartoon. During the period of 1906, slender and streamlined sausage was a novel food in the United States, with various names, such as "sausage", "frank sausage", "little red sausage" and "Dixon dog sausage". Texaco is a kind of brown-haired dog, with long body and short legs, so it is named after its sausage appearance is quite similar to that of this breed of dog.

2. During this period, Harry Stevens, who obtained the registered operation right, promoted the bread of "Dixon Dog Sausage" to the stadium. In the stadium, the vendor hired by Stevens peddled in the stands: "Come and buy hot Dixon dog sausages!" "

3. This summer, Todd Dorgan, a cartoonist of Hearst, saw the dog-shaped sausage and heard the peddler's cries, so he improvised a cartoon and put a sausage of "Dexi Chen Dog" in the bread. But when he was writing an explanation, he suddenly couldn't remember how to spell sausage, so he had to write the word dog. As a result, the hawker's cry in the cartoon was written as "Come and buy hot dogs". This kind of wrong writing is so popular that it spreads immediately, not only taking a firm stand.
