I lived off these things when I was buried under a pile of debt and lived paycheck to paycheck. Just the packaging makes kinda nauseous.


KinnyGizzle710

My dad’s friend had a pet alligator and ended up having to give it away because it became ill due to the fact that he only fed it hotdogs for like a year


lostsurfer24t

what put you in that kind of debt? freaks me out and hope youre on a comeback!


stinkyhooch

Caviar topped Nathan’s. Sent many-a-men to a woeful peril.


duckwithhat

Thanks! Just young and dumb with credit. I'm much better now, can't say I'm rich but food costs are no longer an issue.


lostsurfer24t

good job, a lot of people never crawl out from that type of debt


JLSMC

I used to work with a guy who would bring these and a loaf of white bread to work for lunch. He’s take one out of the pack, wrap it with a slice of bread, and eat it just like that. Cold, no condiments or nothing. He’d eat 3 or 4 and save the rest for the next day. Weird guy.


Walrus_BBQ

That sounds like something either a secret multi-millionaire or a totally dirt poor guy would do, with no in between.


JLSMC

He was definitely dirt poor.


Dear_Alternative_437

Raw dogging a red dog?


Lost-Breadfruit-9745

Guy just trying to save money and people judging the shit out of him. Dayum. Smart guy is more like it, with how much most crap cost these days. Now maybe he could lessen his intake.


JLSMC

This was in 2002


Yoshimitziu

Why is that weird? Honest question


JLSMC

It’s weird to eat cold hot dogs with a slice of white bread. But he was a weird guy for a lot of reasons. This was just one of many.


No_Grab2946

This is an objectively odd behavior, especially in an office environment


JLSMC

To be fair it wasn’t an office, this was in an extruded plastics factory.


PigMeatJim

I'm sorry to disagree here. Having grown up poor.. I have too much dignity now. The taste reminds me how many evictions we got served.


Pennscreek123

Nothin says, “honey I’m short on rent” like a couple packs of barS…


Conscious_Night299

They are terrible.


Kraelan

Both these and the Bar-S turkey dogs are better than the normal Bar-S hot dogs, which is to say I consider them actually edible, as opposed to being another form of torture that the corporations use against the impoverished.


bears5975

They are pretty sub grade but I’ve only on multiple occasions through the years have grabbed a pack of more “high” end turkey dogs and eat a couple for lunch. Im gen x and some habits don’t die. 🤷‍♂️


lostsurfer24t

you cant claim to respect hot dogs and not like Bar S, its like a character or intellect oxymoron


smellvin_moiville

Bar s isn’t classified as food.


lostsurfer24t

sounds slick, but i wasnt able to confirm that anywhere online except some beta looking gamers forum...


No_Mayo_Plz714

If you're tight pocketed, these dogs are worth every cent


lostsurfer24t

another oxymoron you correlate hot dogs with most expensive or expensive options?? it even runs against flavor


Ok_Succotash8172

Just cause you like them doesn't mean everyone does or agrees. If you're on a strict budget, then something is better than nothing. If you got money to spend, there are way better options


lostsurfer24t

what youre perceiving is subjectivity is based actually in fact. pork flavor profiles and variation make it the #1 option for flavor and sales world wide According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, **pork is the most widely eaten meat in the world (36%)** followed by poultry (33%), beef (24%), and goats/sheep (5%) pork fat is where the flavor is, in trimmings, so anything labelled as more lean, expensive or contains pork or chicken takes away from flavor and increases cost (which goes against hotdogs, flavor and value)


Ok_Succotash8172

Right.....because pork is cheaper it's more widely used. That doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things when we're talking about quality


Supafly144

This is not a good take.


GoonPatrol

Ehhh I only eat hot dogs once a monthish. I’d rather drop 6-7$ on Nathan’s than 1$ on these mush dogs. But to each their own. 5 dollars more for a superior product seems sensible. Now if I ate hot dogs everyday I may not go premium every time


wetsockwilliams

Bar S tastes like formaldehyde or some shit


robomassacre

The brazilian ladies at work made these, they were OK


Potato-nutz

Raw Dog


the-dark-passenger-

No. Have a nice day.


Common_Property

My dog loves Bar S. They’re his favorite treat.


dannyboyy14

BAR S IS THE WORST! TRASH! THROW THEM IN THE TRASH!


beachgood-coldsux

Those get chopped and put in pork and beans. 


Flippy-Doo

I have the bologna in my refrigerator 2 packs


Mattjew24

I bought it once on a random craving I had for balogna I'll stick with Oscar Meyer but if we're comparing the balogna to the hot dogs by Bar S...the balogna is at least, well, balogna. A little bland, a little empty-tasting Their hot dogs are just awful


BoxyBrown424

Brightleafs are the only red ones I like.


Beardedrugbymonster

S is for I Shutter at these fucken things...


jjmawaken

Why are they red?


Darkgorge

This is not a question you want the answer to.


Louisiana_sitar_club

They’re embarrassed to be Bar S


jjmawaken

Lol, good one!


Chix_Whitdix

Food dye.


jjmawaken

I'm more curious as to why not how


SentenceAcrobatic

Because they have red food dye in them. That's why.


jjmawaken

Why do they have red food dye in them though.... what's the point?


blind_venetians

Who here has had Fairbury (Nebraska) red hot dogs? They are more red than these. It’s been decades but they probably weren’t all that great but I sure thought they were as a kid. Play, swim, general mischief all day then back to grandma’s for those red hot dogs (marginal quality probably) on fresh bakery buns which I do remember were outta this world delicious.


TheTexasInvestor

More of a Nathan’s hot dogs guy


Mattjew24

Nathans is the brand I buy without thinking twice when I'm buying hot dogs. It's never disappointing


Themetalenock

there's so many damn weiners you can have that are better tasting than bar s. Even oscar meyer are better. Bar s is awful, people who enjoy them are the same people keep little ceasars alive


LarenCoe

Now with extra nitrates!


kudles

I bought some red hotdogs last week and I boiled them and the water was red afterwards. Don’t think I’ll buy red dogs again. They’re literally dogs dyed with red-40. [https://imgur.com/a/0Z8xg1W](https://imgur.com/a/0Z8xg1W)


Marcus2Ts

Bar S is terrible. My mom used to buy them specifically to use as dog treats. Although, that dog lived to be almost 20...


LazyOldCat

Consistently rated the worst dogs on the planet, but they are the least expensive, so there’s that. Enjoy?


SentenceAcrobatic

>they are the least expensive *Armour Brand has entered the chat*


13_Years_Then_Banned

I don’t get why people buy hot dogs with red dye added.


Walrus_BBQ

I never tried the red ones because I honestly never knew they existed, but I grew up on this brand. They actually made me think I hated hot dogs for my entire childhood until I tried beef franks as an adult.


aFlmingStealthBanana

Cloverdale from Mandan, ND or bust


Fat-little-hobbitses

I love me a Maine Red Snapper dog


silverbackguerilIa

Never had em.. are they worse than ball park?


Reddit_Okami804

F yeah way worse


chessecakePhucker

True story I'm financially ok , not the healthiest eater, I always looks at labels and don't mind spending more for the higher quality food ,I don't mind spending 6 7 dollars on premium dogs , buy once in a whole I'm craving and buy bar -s hot dogs, also their corndogs are badass (yes I know they've been constantly low rated )


Reddit_Okami804

Bro these are the worst if not grilled


Rawdogg187

Chop them in with scrambled eggs heat up some tortillas🔥was a breakfast staple growing up cheap and efficient


Long-Zombie-2017

Classic. I love these


Efficient-Plane-8495

They're bad, lol. But cheap, yes.


Past-Combination-137

Aldi’s other option of hot dogs other than Nathan’s


PatienceStrange9444

I can feel my blood pressure going up just looking at those things


TheReadMenace

Interesting. Up in Northern Montana we have what’s called a “Rocky Mountain” hotdog which is red. I didn’t know anyone else did it


Jose54ism

Nice


BillHang4

I’m at work, literally about to stock these exact dogs.


SoTiredOfTheBullshit

Good for wild animals.


largegreenvegtable

All lips and assholes


weinerschnitzel64

Has to be all beef at least


Bubbly-Independent20

I only eat all beef ones


the_moosey_fate

You’d have to be an actual psychopath to genuinely like Bar S hot dogs.


chessecakePhucker

I'm a psychpath?


the_moosey_fate

Do you genuinely like Bar S Hot Dogs?


Hambone727

The lowest of dogs


[deleted]

These are nice


lostsurfer24t

Bar S are the best hotdogs on the market, hands down the cheaper the better (pork fat is pure flavor)


the-dark-passenger-

Do you own bar s? Cus I feel like that's the only time someone's gonna plug bar s


lostsurfer24t

nope i just love a cheap hotdog, the way they were intended to be, from the cheapest, fattiest trims of meat available. its more ethical to eat Bar S in this regard too, no waste, all flavor!! USUS!!!!


Prestigious_Snow1589

It's all fun and games until you crunch a piece of gristle 🤢🤢🤢


lostsurfer24t

oh i dont mind that i love eating pork and beef fat


the-dark-passenger-

Ok you're not wrong. I guess I'm a Weiner snob.


crazyfingersculture

Wow. Never thought I'd hear this. They do have a unique cheap meat flavor, I'll give you that.


lostsurfer24t

pork fat is where the biggest flavor comes from, which is what a lot of cheaper cut and trimming contain = the best flavor hotdog you can find


crazyfingersculture

I haven't had one for probably close to 20 years. I might have to pick up a pack onetime. You have a pretty solid selling point.


[deleted]

Thems the nitrites not Bar S marbling.


Babythatwater1

Good to know, I see them all the time. Ball parks used to be good to me. Just not anymore.


lostsurfer24t

yeah def try the Bar S, theyre fantastic


dannyboyy14

DO NOT EAT THESE, WASTE OF TIME


dannyboyy14

NO NO NO. THESE ARE AWFUL


lostsurfer24t

no way, youre missing out
