Dear Female Customers,
I know you all probably look at the menu and think to yourselves “Gee, hot dogs, so fattening! I think I will be healthier and have a pretzel.”
I hate to break it to you, but a pretzel is probably unhealthier than a hot dog.
Think about it: all the pretzel is is salt (sodium, yikes!) and white bread. Simple carbs that aren’t easily broken down. No real nutrients. In addition, the salt will make you retain some water (i.e., you will feel bloated later).
Meanwhile, a hot dog at least will have some protein in it, and when you add some relish or onions or sauerkraut, you get some sort of vegetable servings.
So stop trying to kid yourself into thinking that the pretzel is healthier, because in reality, it really isn’t. I do believe a soft pretzel packs more calories than a jumbo hot dog (correct me if I’m wrong).
So anyway, what would you like to buy today? An unhealthy soft pretzel or a less-unhealthy hot dog?
Sincerely,
Your Favorite Hot Dog Vendor in San Francisco
