Mickey D doesn't sell hot dogs because Der Weinerschnitzel and the street corner vendors beat them to it. There has to a market that they can get a significant portion of or it isn't profitable. Haven't they sold  over a trillion burgers yet? I quit looking at the sign years ago.

They actually did sell them in the U.K. (Britain) and also in Toronto for quite a few years back in the 1990's. I think there was also a franchise somewhere here in the U.S. that tried it, but I can't remember where it was. McDonalds and hot dogs seems like an oxymoron to me. I don't eat there though, so I don't really care what they sell.  ;)

They always say 'price in participating restaurants may vary'. I want to open a Mcdonalds and not participate in anything!

"Nope. We got spaghetti! And blankets."

Mcdonald's has tried selling johnsinville brats. When I was younger I worked at a  mickey d's (about 20 years ago) that had pizza, for a summer.

ROFL  I love him.  Hmmm...  Maybe they don't sell hot dogs because they don't contain enough fat?  McDonald's: Making your heart explode with lard since 1954!

If McDonalds thought that it would be a popular menu item, they would offer it.

I went to The World's Largest Entertainment McDonald's recently and they had spaghetti, pizza, etc. there.  I forgot to check for hotdogs.  :P  I guess I'm a purist, though, because I stuck to the traditional hamburger fare when I ordered.   :D
