To celebrate their placing in the American League Division Series in the upcoming MLB playoffs, the Texas Rangers will be serving the unusual combination of cotton candy hot dogs.
A sugary take on the classic ball game hot dog, this strange concoction will be available at upcoming home playoff games at Globe Life Park against the Toronto Blue Jays. This dish will consist of an everyday hot dog and bun drizzled in cotton candy-infused mustard and topped with the obvious culinary choice of even more cotton candy.
News of the imminent arrival of cotton candy hot dogs broke after ESPN sports reporter Darren Rovell tweeted a picture of the soon to be available sweet tooth-inspired dish. The Texas Rangers have also promised that more unusual food combinations can be looked forward to as the team attempts to move forward in the postseason.
