Hard pass on this one.





DETROIT -- According to the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, Americans will consume more than 150 million hot dogs on July 4.

But anyone at Comerica Park in Detroit will get to spice up their dog with something special: Pepsi Colachup, the world’s first Pepsi-infused condiment.

Pepsi is teaming up with the Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins, Arizona Diamondbacks and New York Yankees for exclusive in-stadium sampling during the team’s home games. In Detroit, hot dog enthusiasts can do so in Section 139 of Comerica Park.

“Pepsi has long been part of American culture and its cool crisp taste has been a favorite beverage choice for generations of Americans. We have always known that hot dogs taste better with Pepsi, and now the experts think so too,” said Jenny Danzi, Senior Director, Pepsi TM. ...............(more)

1. Can't wait. Just what I've always wanted. Ugh.

[unblock]

2. I've used coca-cola in marinades for steaks, so... why not?

5. Do you pour marinade on a steak that's been cooked already?

Just asking. It may be some nouvelle cuisine thing for all I know.

[unblock]

7. Of course! Just boil it down to thicken it and kill the bacteria

Marinades make excellent dipping sauces.

But that main point is that the flavors work well together.

9. I may never find out

I typically don’t put anything on my steak. I’ll have to try it sometime.

13. My sister uses Dr. Pepper

Makes the meat "most tender". Never tried cooking with it myself, but her bbq is delish!

3. I can't wait to try it. I make sloppy joe sauce from catsup, mustard and a can of coke.

Delicious.

4. Wow. That sounds really gross.

[unblock]

11. Sweet fruit flavors work fine with meats

Applesauce for pork chops is a classic.

Pineapple glaze on ham.

Hell, ketchup is basically candied tomato puree.

Sugary cola flavor? Why not?

6. It appears no worse than any other glop that's slithered down the pike

I haven’t put ketchup on a hot dog since I was 10, probably.

8. Problem is you don't put ketchup on a hot dog, just mustard...

Maybe pickle relish or sauerkraut that’s it! Ok just got slapped upside the noggin… and chili.

[MichMan]

10. Slaw dogs are great

100% agree about ketchup not belonging on hot dogs.

IMO, Mustard, Onions, and your choice of Chili, Slaw or Sauerkraut.

14. Slaw dogs!

Every Monday for four years (high school). One person would get a serving of slaw and share at the table. Usually could load 3 dogs with one dish!

12. In high school

My best friend and I made Poor Boy BBQ sauce which was ketchup with Coca-Cola. I switched Coke out for A&W Root Beer which gave it more bite and added cinnamon and garlic powder and vastly improved it, but he said it wasn't Poor Boy BBQ sauce once you started getting "fancy."
