Hot Dogs on a Stick

I saw someone I knew who went to ASL class with me working at Hot Dogs on a Stick. I didn't talk with her because I felt like I would embarrass her. I grew up in a TV culture where such occupations were portrayed as uncool. It was something like the Wonder Years, the 80s/90s with the drag color like that Nan Golding photo. I suppose the chain's bright yellow color is its brand, it's recognizable, but maybe the fact it reminded me of my childhood is why we live in perpetual forgetfulness. Brand is just too ubiquitous and sometimes stale, and it has little of local flavors to make one proud.

Meanwhile, I had been hankering for a corn dog. Maybe I will go back to buy one.
