Oscar Mayer Made Hot Dog Straws Inspired by Baseball Fan’s Viral Video

Oscar Mayer is turning an internet meme into a reality.

The famed meat company is finally responding to a viral video in 2022 that showed a baseball fan drinking his beer through a straw made out of a hot dog.

Oscar Mayer announced that it is launching its own limited edition "hot dog straw" that mimics the size and color of a typical hot dog — except the new invention is made out of food-safe soft silicone.

Fans can pre-order the hot dog straw via Oscar Mayer’s website for free while supplies last.

The arrival of the company’s latest creation comes on the one-year anniversary of the famous video, originally posted by @newyorknico on Aug. 22, 2022. In the clip, a fan at the Mets-Yankees game can be seen in his seat puncturing a hot dog with a real straw. Then he grabs his cup of beer, puts his newly-made hot dog straw in the cup, and then drinks through it.

To reveal the silicon straw, @newyorknico enlisted the same fan to try it out. It appears that he approves.
