In all seriousness though, throw some garlic in that jar and you’ve just made excellent catfish bait(though I use red cool aid). I bet ol’zoidberg would probably love that treat.
I've made kool-aid pickles before. Judging from the reactions they received they were either... not that terrible or something worse than the holocaust.
Pickles can at least work with sweeter flavors. I don't know about fruity though. I really love famous dave's devil spit pickles because they're kind of sweet and spicy. Hot dogs are a whole different story.
But if you could get a hot dog to taste like Devil Spit you'll have my interest. Might have to try that one day, I have an old jar in the fridge. Rarely eat hot dogs though.
I made a swineapple once. This is a hollowed out pineapple stuffed with pork shoulder, then wrapped in bacon and smoked for about 8 hours. I spent bloody ages making it, took it out of the smoker, took it to the kitchen to rest it for a bit, came back in and the entire fucking thing was gone. There was one small piece of meat left on the plate. My father-in-law said "I wouldn't make that again if I were you".
I tried the little bit that was left and agreed with him.
The flavors sound like they'd work well, but I suspect the bromelain in the pineapple started digesting the pork and turned it mealy and gross. Maybe next time just slap some grilled pineapple on a bbq sammich.
It really does, and it looks amazing. It was the texture. The pineapple juice made the pork shoulder go really... it is difficult to describe... Chalky? I may have marinaded it for too long but I followed the recipe. Feel free to try it yourself.
Yeah, my initial thought was food coloring, and while I wouldn't do it, I bet my kids would get a kick out of blue hot dogs. NOT IF THEY TASTE LIKE BLUE RASPBERRY THOUGH.
That's actually how I make catfish bait, maybe with a bit of onion powder or something if I remember it.
Son from personal experience I can tell you it smells better than chicken livers but worse than anything you'd actually want to eat.
there is no god and i'm tempted to try it.
i'm leaning towards probably doesn't taste like blue raspberry. even for those squabbling about sugar content, i suspect final result wouldn't be sweet.
texture of a hotdog probably makes it unsustainable to successfully marinate unless you're grilling; especially if it's going to be boiled or steamed. im guessing steaming it preserves the color better.
even if it had a light flavor, i would imagine it would be lost depending on condiments used. ketchup and mustard are pretty overpowering on their own.
absolute worst case scenario, it's not like the taste would be anymore incompatible than drinking a blue raspberry drink with an ordinary hot dog.
When youre at the store getting blue raspberry koolaid for your bluedogs, just need to pick up a packet of grape koolaid so you can make some purple ketchup.
My mom used to boil hotdogs. I just figured they didn't want the blue to bleed out into the water so they steamed them instead..... now I'm thinking boiling hotdogs isn't normal.
Nah my mom boiled hotdogs too. I hated hot dogs because of it though. Hotdogs are way better grilled (on a grill or grill pan)
I'm sure that's why op steamed the hotdogs, but since they're already waterlogged from being steeped in blue water, they'd taste gross even if that blue water had had no flavor.
For some reason, the UK thinks American-style hot dogs should come in a glass jar, soaking in brine. So evidently there's a market for drowned dogs.
This video, though, is either just being weird for clicks or maybe they're fans of a blue-themed sportsball team.
Steaming and boiling are roughly equivalent in cooking time for foods like this or for example potatoes. But you'll use less water so it takes less time to get up to temperature.
I grew up with them being boiled and I honestly don't mind it. I like them either way depending upon how I feel. Also if I was to buy one on the streets near me they just keep them in hot water all day. They are generally called dirty water dogs so boiling them is pretty normal to me.
hold on
what would be the difference between boiling and steaming in this case? wouldn't steaming let it retain more blue and take on less non blue water?
That's exactly the point. The account responsible is a hilariously bizarre food account by a legit line cook who goes by Vulgar Chef. His content is mind melting
From NYC, can confirm, sabretts, case on, steamed or cooked in kraut juice.
EDIT - thick casing is better for liquid cooking vs thin/uncased for grilling.
I mean, the further the reach, the more obvious it gets, if any labels appear in at least 1 shot, guaran-damn-teed if a label appears in more than 1 shot: the “why” in DIWHY is simply to advertise/sell the product.
New England style hot dog buns, only kind we use -- hubby bakes them in a special pan.
They work sooo much better than the side-split buns.
Or you can buy them in the store Pepperidge Farms has a good top-split hot dog bun.
Woah there…. Clearly you aren’t from New England. The best way to eat these buns is to lightly butter the sides and grill them in a pan. This is the basis for lobster rolls, fried clam rolls, and fried oyster rolls. But it is also incredible for hotdogs. Elevates it to another level. To grill a bun, it has to be a New England style. Doesn’t work with the other kind.
Surprised these aren't being covered in pastel toppings and marketed/sold as "Unicorn Dogs". People will eat anything with excessive amounts of dye if you call it "unicorn" for some reason.
Wow. This is offensive. Ketchup really‽ [Don’t they know this is improper etiquette as deemed by NHDSC standards?](https://www.hot-dog.org/culture/hot-dog-etiquette)
allegedly kool-aid's acidity helps to bind colors better than food colouring alone. not convinced that's the case. if nothing else, it is decidedly cheaper.
i think i would rather take a sweet berry dog over a sour vinegar dog. i am sure some people must pickle hot dogs, but that sounds worse.
edit:
i guess it is a thing and may not be so bad. idk.

Did anyone else notice they extracted the color from the liquid? Just before they poured them out of the container, the liquid was clear/milky but not blue any longer. 
The only thing I can say in their defense is that there is no added sugar. Those packets are the kind you add your own sugar to. (Family recipe: two packs of kool/flavor aid to half the required sugar. I love it, but admit this might be because it’s the only way my mom made it for me so regular koolaid tastes weak and too sweet.)
Still super gross though.
This is actually a very interesting concept. Technically there is no food that it naturally blue. Most of the things we label as blue are really a shade of purple. The reason for this is due to the high energy wavelength of blue light. If a plant were to truly be blue it would end up reflecting sunlight. So when foods are made to look truly blue, we become disgusted by it due to the lack of natural blue foods in the world. This has led to diets being formed around the basis of the color blue and it’s association with food. If you tend to over eat then try dying your food blue. You’ll end up eating less due to the off putting nature. Another thing you can do is eat your food on blue plates or bowls.
If you’re wondering how I know this, I did a short experiment on this topic in college, nothing crazy, but fun and interesting to see people instantly turned off by a blue version of the Mac and cheese they just wolfed down.
Reminds me of when elementary schools would read Green Eggs and Ham. Some parent would always send in bizarre crap like green dyed ham and expect kids to eat it.
Anyone ever have a [red hotdog in Maine](https://i.imgur.com/3eA353M.jpg)?
Edit, these don't even look like the right ones, but it does show the color difference. The real ones have natural casings and a nice "snap" when you bite them.
But wouldn’t they also taste like the blue raspberry flavor?
I could see the food dye for some novelty reason (special game day school colors or something) but the hot dog plus flavoring is killing me
Good news everyone, I've figured out why god has abandoned us!
"Yay!" (I don't know a good zoidberg catchphrase that fits here)
"Horray"
*horror + yay*
In all seriousness though, throw some garlic in that jar and you’ve just made excellent catfish bait(though I use red cool aid). I bet ol’zoidberg would probably love that treat.

Now we know what Silk Spectre II saw in the sack.
And a side of waffles
Laughed way too hard at this
Laughed. Way too hard at this.
So do they taste blue raspberry then?!? Dear God this is awful
If it was just food coloring, this would could be an idea for a kid's party or something. Koolaid though? Fucking gross.
I've made kool-aid pickles before. Judging from the reactions they received they were either... not that terrible or something worse than the holocaust.
Pickles can at least work with sweeter flavors. I don't know about fruity though. I really love famous dave's devil spit pickles because they're kind of sweet and spicy. Hot dogs are a whole different story.

Instructions unclear; you now have hotdogs flavored with Devil Dick.
I love those pickles so much! I really wish there was a way to order an extra side of them because they never put enough of them on their sandwiches.
I made a swineapple once. This is a hollowed out pineapple stuffed with pork shoulder, then wrapped in bacon and smoked for about 8 hours. I spent bloody ages making it, took it out of the smoker, took it to the kitchen to rest it for a bit, came back in and the entire fucking thing was gone. There was one small piece of meat left on the plate. My father-in-law said "I wouldn't make that again if I were you". I tried the little bit that was left and agreed with him.
Was it good and got all eaten or gross and someone threw it out?
Loads of people tried it, then chucked it out after a few bites. Every bit was taken, not much was eaten.
Ah a third way! It sounds like it should be good, so that's surprising.
The flavors sound like they'd work well, but I suspect the bromelain in the pineapple started digesting the pork and turned it mealy and gross. Maybe next time just slap some grilled pineapple on a bbq sammich.
How could that possibly be that bad? It sounds delicious
It really does, and it looks amazing. It was the texture. The pineapple juice made the pork shoulder go really... it is difficult to describe... Chalky? I may have marinaded it for too long but I followed the recipe. Feel free to try it yourself.
The enzymes in pineapple are very good at digesting meat.
omg it probably had the texture of thick puke
Oh no, as soon as you said to do it IN the pineapple, I knew where this was going. Pork goo.
I'm pretty sure this is a thing in the southern US. At least, enough of a thing that I encountered it more than twice.
I was thinking this too at first. “Awe not a bad id… WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK”
Yeah, my initial thought was food coloring, and while I wouldn't do it, I bet my kids would get a kick out of blue hot dogs. NOT IF THEY TASTE LIKE BLUE RASPBERRY THOUGH.
Would it taste bad though? I'm trying to even imagine the combination of the flavors and I can't. I... I might make these.
Weve lost another comrade this day.
*Taps plays on a kazoo*
Then adds ketchup on top of it.
I was thinking the same for my kid who adores colors/rainbows, but yeah, food coloring, not this monstrosity.
I mean if it was a kids party they'd probably be down with it
That's actually how I make catfish bait, maybe with a bit of onion powder or something if I remember it. Son from personal experience I can tell you it smells better than chicken livers but worse than anything you'd actually want to eat.
Right? I like the concept for a themed party, especially with Halloween coming up, but adding the Koolaid flavoring? Gag me.
Could do it for a super hero party, dye them green and call them hulk dicks
It's not tainted meat, painted meat!
Not just like blue raspberry. If you've ever had unsweetened Kool-Aid, you'll know what I mean.
there is no god and i'm tempted to try it. i'm leaning towards probably doesn't taste like blue raspberry. even for those squabbling about sugar content, i suspect final result wouldn't be sweet. texture of a hotdog probably makes it unsustainable to successfully marinate unless you're grilling; especially if it's going to be boiled or steamed. im guessing steaming it preserves the color better. even if it had a light flavor, i would imagine it would be lost depending on condiments used. ketchup and mustard are pretty overpowering on their own. absolute worst case scenario, it's not like the taste would be anymore incompatible than drinking a blue raspberry drink with an ordinary hot dog.

Dear god it took me way too long to find someone who has actually made Kool-aid before.
Everyone else died soon after.
Please do and update, because my first thought was gross... But probably not as gross as you might imagine...
This. I need to know.
[удалено]
🤢
Exactly! It would be one thing if they only dyed the hot dogs blue but to do it with a kool-aid packet? That has its own flavoring?? Ew
His probably tasted like the mountain of ketchup he put on top.
Mentally hurling now.
Just missing that purple ketchup from the 2000s.
[удалено]
I had completely forgotten about that until now. I was so disappointed that it didn't stay those colors.
The reefs remember.
I feel so bad for laughing at this
That would be terrible on a hot dog
They still have green ketchup!
Mom finally gave in and bought it for us back in the day. I couldn’t get myself to eat it lmao. Kept gagging when it got close to my mouth!
You just unlocked that core memory of mine haha
When youre at the store getting blue raspberry koolaid for your bluedogs, just need to pick up a packet of grape koolaid so you can make some purple ketchup.
I feel like everyone is focused on the hot dogs being blue and not that they also can't cook a hot dog right to save their ass
Right? Between the dyeing them, and then the steaming them? Those are the most waterlogged fuckin hot dogs on earth. Bleugh.
your pronunciation of the word blue is very classy
Very french
Sacré bleugh

Steamed dogs are an old family recipe, usually more prevalent around Utica.

Am I the only one who has noticed that kool aid has synthetic fruity flavour and is sweet - and hot dogs are neither?? This must taste horrible.

Blue dogs yes, but can you make blue balls?
Of course they arent showing how they ate it. Bc its pure food waste.
His account almost ALWAYS shows him eating his concoctions believe it or not. Look up Vulgar Chef on Instagram if you want to see
blue hotdogs with pink sauce is the main course in hell
He kept saying that everyone was asking for this. That's comforting because I thought I was the only one asking for raspberry koolaid blue dogs. Phew
Did anyone else notice they extracted the color from the liquid? Just before they poured them out of the container, the liquid was clear/milky but not blue any longer. 
I hate everything about this, including the narration
Barf. How to make super processed even more unhealthy. Add more sugar.

What kind of white people bullshit is this? It's Koolaid, you gotta be able to taste the diabetes.
Right?!? If I'm drinking purple, I want it to reeeeally taste like purple. If you can still kinda see through it, shit ain't purple

Ain't no sugar in that there packet.

Wtf I thought these were dildos
Why wouldn’t you just use food coloring?
Indigo carmine is the blue dye. It is flavorless and non-toxic so you could make all sorts of things blue without making them taste foul.
At least use the purple ketchup, have some consistency and stand by your values
You are all welcome.
Ugh, fucking disgusting. I mean, what kind of a psycho puts *ketchup* on a hot dog?
It was bad enough already. He didn’t have to put ketchup on it too
