Playful and hilarious, the idea of hot dogs sticking out of a person's ears is just too good to pass up.

The perfect stocking stuffer for audiophiles who love this delicious meal, the Hot Dog Ear Buds are available for purchase on the Archie McPhee online shop. Compatible with both iPods and iPhones, the headphones may be gimmicky, but as it is written on the Archie McPhee website, "You haven't heard music until you've heard it through meat." Not to mention that it will deter any unwanted conversations on the bus.
