Weiner Wars kick off with Hot Dog Hotline

By Industry News
May 26, 2015

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Americans typically consume 7 billion hot dogs- that’s 818 hot dogs consumed every second and more than half of the dogs sold annually in the U.S.!*It’s because of this that this time of the year has become known as the “Weiner Wars,” with major brands competing to be “top dog”. 

Ball Park brandis announcing their grilling season plans with the launch of the Finest Franks Hotline, a go-to resource offering “frank” advice on creating truly bragworthy grill outs. Anyone can call, text, or tweet the hotline to receive expert advice and tips from the Finest Grill Crew on a variety of hot dog and grilling topics.

  • Phone Number:  1-844-4FRANKS
  • Text: 57872
  • Tweet: @BallParkBrand with #MakeItFinest

Along with the hotline, Ball Park brand is  adding two new flavors to its premium line of Ball Park Park’s Finest frankfurters—Slow Cooked Chili and Jalapeno Cheddar. Ball Park Park’s Finest are made with 100 percent beef and contain no artificial preservatives, flavors, colors or fillers, and no nitrates or nitrites added.
