What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA family business at the Lone Star State's iconic fair sells 550,000 corny dogs a year, and it still uses the same eighty-four-year-old recipe, Fox News reports.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEighty-four years, Hank. Most snacks rebrand before they rebrand their packaging. This one just keeps selling half a million corny dogs a year.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFive hundred fifty thousand people come back every year for the same batter their grandparents ate. That consistency is tougher to maintain than my podcast schedule.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe report calls it an American tradition. I would call it lunch on a stick that a family has not changed since before color television.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA living archive of batter. Fine. I would still eat one.
