Old Fashioned Carnival Sausage on a Stick

The Hod Dog

29. The Hot Domestic dog

In its abode state of Germany, the hot dog was called the frankfurter. It was named after Frankfurt, a German urban center.

Frankfurters were first sold in the United States in the 1860s. Americans called frankfurters "dachshund sausages." A dachshund is a domestic dog from Germany with a very long body and brusque legs. "Dachshund sausage" seemed like a good proper name for the frankfurter.

Dachshund sausages first became pop in New York, especially at baseball games. At games they were sold by men who kept them warm in hot-water tanks. Equally the men walked up and down the rows of people, they yelled, "Get your dachshund sausages! Get your hot dachshund sausages!" People got the sausages on buns, a special bread.

One twenty-four hour period in 1906 a newspaper cartoonist named Tad Dorgan went to a baseball game. When he saw the men with the dachshund sausages, he got an idea for a cartoon. The side by side day at the newspaper office he drew a bun with a dachshund inside--not a dachshund sausage, but a dachshund. Dorgan didn't know how to spell dachshund. Under the cartoon, he wrote "Become your hot dogs!"

The cartoon was a sensation, so was the new proper noun. If you go to a baseball today, you can still run across sellers walking around with hot-water tanks. As they walk upward and downward the rows they yell, "Get your hot dogs here! Get your hot dogs!"
