Notes

  • The fancy hot dogs (everything but basic hot dog) are unlocked for a whole clan when someone obtains one of the "unlocked by" items and "spends" it inside the Hot Dog Stand. (A new button appears if you have one of the items.) This consumes the item and permanently unlocks the hot dog for that clan, with the message:
    <unlock message---see table below>
    You have unlocked a new hot dog!
    Your clan members should be really grateful!
  • Items that are part of the cost of a fancy hot dog (hot wad, stench wad, etc.) may also be "spent" within the Hot Dog Stand (a contribute link appears after "(n in stock)"). These items are removed from the player who spends them, and stored inside the Stand, with the message:
    You have put some hot dog making supplies into the hot dog cart man's hot dog cart supply crate.
  • Any player in the clan (with a VIP key) may use Stand-stored items to buy the fancy hot dogs, regardless of whether that player contributed any items.
  • Items may be contributed from Hagnk's, allowing for fancy hot dogs to be consumed in Hardcore.
  • Every hot dog sold has a different effect on consumption, as follows:

  • You can only eat 1 fancy hot dog per day. Trying to eat another gives the message:
You aren't in the mood for any more fancy dogs today.
  • Eating hot dogs adds them to your consumption history.
  • Hot dogs are affected by Got Milk and other effects that give Adventures from Food (such as Boris's skills), unlike other instant-consume foods (such as sushi). Of course, because they do not come from the inventory, they cannot take advantage of Ol' Scratch's salad fork.

  • The text when you hand hot dog man the optimal spreadsheet refers to a significant portion of the player base caring mainly for something being optimal, rather than style or fun factor, and Jick's general disbelief and disapproval of such a point of view.
