So is it really mediocre then?

I came across the above pictured at a local Stop ‘n Shop some time ago and it struck me as so terribly random that I absolutely had to take a picture of it. And, well, I did.

If anything, taking the photograph was necessary in order to prove that the encounter did in fact occur because the sight of that label just baffled me. I mean, I didn’t quite understand how to make sense of it then and to this day its meaning continues to elude me.

Extra mild? What? Or, better yet, how?

So I turn to you, O Spatula Readership, what does “Extra Mild” mean to you as it relates to hot dogs made of chicken, pork and beef? What do you think the good people at Stop ‘n Shop meant? Be serious or, hell, don’t be. Those hot dogs certainly weren’t.

(They were extra mild!)
