Ball Park's Hot Dog Hot Takes Invites Unique Opinions on the Best Toppings

— July 17, 2024 — Marketing
National Hot Dog Day is July 17th and Ball Park is starting the festivities by inviting fans to share their Hot Dog Hot Takes. Some enjoy hot dogs adorned with classic ketchup, relish and mustard, savoring the blend of tangy and savory flavors. However, others staunchly oppose ketchup, preferring alternative toppings like sauerkraut, chili or even enjoy them plain to fully appreciate the simplicity of this American culinary staple. With Hot Dog Hot Takes, Ball Park is open to hearing everyone's preferences.

Hot dog lovers can share their opinions on TikTok using the #HotDogHotTakes and @BallParkBrand tag, or text the phrase "hot dog hot takes" to the brand's Hot Dog Hotline at 479-348-2255 (B-A-L-L.)

According to a survey, 96% of Americans agree people should be free to put whatever condiments they like on their hot dogs.
