I suppose if I were to really research it, I could find a lot of ridiculous “time-saving” food items for sale out there. But, I’m not sure I could find many that are more so than what I saw on television today.

While watching Nick Jr. with my kids, I saw an advertisement I couldn’t believe. Oscar Meyer (who Jerry Seinfeld says is “just inventing meats”) has now provided the American consumer of questionable meat products with Fast Franks - individually wrapped, microwaveable hot dogs which are already in the buns. According to this article, they can be ready in 35 seconds - which is about the same amount of time it takes to microwave a hot dog sans bun.

So, no longer will we be forced to endure the difficult, time-consuming and bothersome task of inserting a hot dog into the bun ourselves - Oscar Meyer has done it for us!
