Has McDonalds ever sold hot dogs in the past??

Question

My friend thinks that McDonald's used to sell hot dogs in the past when McDonald's first opened...is this true? Don't answer this question unless you really know and back it up with info please.

Answer 1

I don't ever remember them doing that.

Answer 2

This question was answered actually.

According to Captain ChiliDog, "McDonald's has never sold hot dogs in the US. According to their web site Ray Kroch thought that they were filthy and would not allow them to be sold. This of course dose not pertain to the first couple of restaurants owned by the McDonald Brothers."

Answer 3

I don't think so, but I cannot back that up...=\

Answer 4

no, but they sold pizza. i can remember that

Answer 5

Not since 1971 at least (that's the first time I ever ate at McDonalds).

Answer 6

I don't think McDonald's has sold anything "hot" since that lady spilled her coffee in the early 90s. Even luke warm dogs would be too much risk.

Answer 7

yes..

i don't know about when it first opened...

but i do know that they were selling hot dogs for a little while a few years ago

Answer 8

No. Eww hot dogs are gross =/

Answer 9

McDonald's actually first opened as a hot dog restaurant. you will find this information if you go to the link i gave you. I only took a minute to look for it but i did a report on McDonald's about 6 months ago and i forgot the website i used for resources so i used it real quick. But McDonald's really did sell hot dogs at one point

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

They sold Bratwursts for a while.  It might have been regional, bc people in the upper Midwest love their brats!  (Minnesota, Wisconsin)  It was about five years ago, about the same time that the McRib was popular.

Also: (from Wikipedia)

Hot Dogs: CEO Ray Kroc famously prohibited the company from selling hot dogs, regardless of potential demand, as he regarded them as unhygienic in his 1977 autobiography; however, UK Stores did sell Hot Dogs during the late nineties on the McChoice menu (later PoundSaver). Also, at least one American restaurant offered Oscar Mayer hot dogs at some time, and McDonald's locations at Toronto Metro Zoo and SkyDome in Toronto offered hot dogs until 1999

Answer 12

Answer 13

Answer 14

nope, not as long as i can remember and thats many many years ago ...
