Instructions unclear. I showed a 7/11 clerk my butthole.
Sounds like the instructions were clear!

Only in a hot dog flavored water.

More details on the availability of this flavor will be revealed on April 1 – but in the meantime, the rest of the 7-Select x Miracle Seltzer lineup including Lemon Lime, Green Apple and Sweet Orange can be found at select 7-Eleven® stores.
I am suspicious.
But if you announce it outside of april 1st, you're the fool then.
Well that's what I am thinking - you can't claim it's an April Fool's Day joke outside of the actual day (and usually the morning). If it's an actual AFD joke then just announce it on the day.
Hmmmm 🤔
7-11 has an april fools history so make of that as u will.
MFW the hot dog flavored water drops:
IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS!
but but, where is the chocolate starfish?
It's holding the hotdog

Somehow, the "sparkling" part makes it even more gross xD
A chocolate starfish would be the perfect pairing dish to this drink I'd say!
Putting out a product that's offensively bad in a limited run, selling a bunch of it real quick for the novelty value and then discontinuing it is a pretty tried and true strategy. We're here talking about it right now, and a certain percentage of us are gonna hear about it and think "That's so terrible that I have to try it just so I know how terrible it is." If you can accurately gauge the number of people who are willing to buy something bad just to have a novel experience you can make money selling glizzygulps.
April 1, 2024.... silly peeps.
This is something Japan would do.
I had a bacon flavored soda once. It was one of the most disgusting things I've ever consumed, and I love bacon.
I made bacon flavored vodka for Bloody Marys once. It wasn't bad, but pretty niche.
Dog water. 🤢
Fuck me that's gotta fucking taste like fuck, fucking dumb fuck company with dumb fuck ideas fucking making dumb fuck money with this dumb fuck product.

I never felt this sick in my life, not even after hours of riding rollercoasters. 🤢
I for one am ecstatic that April fools jokes/pranks seem to be coming back into fashion, the last few years have been practically devoid of anything fun happening around this time of the year.
Barf.
So they carbonated the steam water from the hot dog machines and put leftover ketchup and mustard in it? America, racing to the bottom of the food innovation world.
7-11 is owned by a Japanese company, and has stores worldwide. You're free to make whatever you want, though!
us cuisine is something else.
So it’s not even proper hot dog flavor, since ketchup doesn’t belong on a hot dog.
I admire the bravery it takes to be so wrong in public like this. You're an inspiration
It shouldn't be on the hot dog but IN the hot dog. Ketchup stuffed hot dogs.

My most sincere apologies, but WHAT DID YOU SAY?
Not who you're replying to but....I didn't think I liked hot dogs until I ate a Chicago hot dog and realized it was just the ketchup making it slimy and sweet. Ketchup on hotdogs is nasty lol
Sweet?!
So I just had a look into it and apparently American tomato ketchup is one third sugar (corn syrup, obviously...). Ketchup is supposed to be savory, America; why do you do this?
I think it's the same here in Canada as I find most regular ketchup (especially Heinz) sickly sweet. I actually buy a no sugar added variant that's much better to me. It tastes more like tomato-infused vinegar.
Look in the "ethnic" or "imported" food aisles, the HP sauce in the little glass bottles. If you were a kid in the 80s or 90s, you might well have been raised on English HP, not Canadian. They are similar but not the same at all, it took me back right to grade three when i bought the import accidentally. It's all white vinegar and orange juice concentrate in the bullshit canadian version, vs malt vinegar and rye flour and fermented fish paste stuff. Anyways, I don;t know why these companies are happy to change a recipe where everyone in the fucking country has it on their table, and then a few years later, like no one buys it anymore and over time we even forget why it was so popular to begin with.
