well did you know that hotdogs are called frank because the man the created them was named frank
He invented hotdogd in a carnaval and asked his brother the baker to make buns because he was just giving them out on paper and people would get burned so he asked his brother and his brother created the hot dog bun

Probably either the name of the inventor of the hot dog or the name of the city/country where it first came about. I'm not really sure just a guess.

From the city in Germany called Frankfurter, I believe. I was wondering why they are called hot dogs!

They were fashioned after the size and shape of a certain body part of the guy who invented them.
