[Insert "taking the piss" joke here.] [Urine big trouble now - someone else]Maybe it's just their way of reminding you that urine good company...
I shouldn't have laughed at that - but I did
I admit I stole that joke from here.

Logical people. They obviously knew that sticking a wad of burning leaves in their mouths without paper was stupid.
It does befuddle me sometimes too, though.It's a remnant of a bygone era, I guess.
Chemistry owes so much to the brave scientists of the era when your standard tests were 'what does it taste like', 'does the smell make you throw up', and 'what happens if I bathe in it.'
I've always thought it was weird that the big fast-food chains don't sell Hot Dogs. They started out selling nothing but Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers, Fries and Coke-- but not Hot Dogs. Over the years, they've added salads and breakfast and Chicken Sandwiches and desserts and a bunch of other stuff. But never Hot Dogs. Hot Dogs go hand in hand with Hamburgers. I don't get it. 
^ Hot dogs just don't taste right without a baseball game in front of them. IMHO.
I prefer a smattering of beach sand.

Sounds like a Peanuts quote.
Snoopy was weird...seemed to mutate from an actual beagle into this huge headed telepathic freak with a tardis-like dog house.
I think it is. I don't remember who said it or when, though. But I did get it from them. And it's right, you know.

Good question! I know our local Rally's (Checkers to most) used to sell cheese hot dogs, and they were delicious. Then they just stopped about 10 years ago. Now they're out of business. Coincidence? I think not.
And Holdfast, that would be disgusting.

Last time I checked, Harvey's (a Canadian fast-food chain) still sold hot dogs. I think Dairy Queen does too - now that's weird. DQ should sell nothing but ice cream, IMO. They're not called "Food Queen", after all.
(That reminds me of a passage from one of Robert J. Sawyer's novels. There's a Canadian pizza chain called "Pizza Pizza", but at some point between now and when the novel takes place, they branch out into other fast food and rename themselves "Food Food".

Some Dairy Queens are seasonal and only sell Ice Cream.
Others are open year round, and during the winter...well, maybe selling other stuff ain't a bad idea.
Last DQ burger I had was awful though.

I get my biggest ice cream cravings in the dead of winter for some reason.

I read or watched somewhere that this is because Hot Dogs were considered "lower class" than hamburgers, and also seen as less wholesome, due to the myths of what goes into them. That said, I honestly don't think that what goes into Dogs is worse than what goes into a McDonald's Burger...
There's a joint out here called Ted's Hot Dogs, that has excellent dogs, and curly fries. The burgers are amazing as well, although the dogs are still a top seller. It was named one of the best Fast Food chains in America recently.

Anyway, another oddity that caught my attention. Why do they have to put nutrition facts on Spring/Purified water? Do we really need to know that there's no calories, fat, sodium, cholesterol, carbs or sugars and that the only ingredient is water?

It's also probably a good way of telling you that they're AREN'T other things in it.
It might say "water," but without Nutrition Facts and Ingredients listed, there could very well be additional substances in it.

I usually eat hotdogs for breakfast.
