The Not-So-Wacky Old-Fashioned Corn Dog Machine Request

Wow– I had no idea I had such helpful readers. I scoffed at the very notion of Drew’s request for an old-fashioned corn dog machine for several reasons.

First, I suppose I interpreted “old-fashioned” too literally. I was thinking an old-fashioned corn dog maker looks something like this:

Second, we don’t eat a lot of corn dogs. We don’t have a Glamore special recipe, and the boys tend to dissect them more than they consume them. I can’t see spending money on an appliance that features grease as its main component and takes up a lot of room. I can easily purchase corn dogs the new-fashioned way:

But that doesn’t mean that I’m not grateful for all your suggestions– I am. Now I know there are a lot of corn dog makers out there, from the King Dog Fryer on down:

When I saw that second fryer, I realized that Drew’s request wasn’t all that wacky. He recently saved up his money to buy a popcorn maker that looks like this:

so I’m guessing that the Corn Dog Maker was featured in the same catalog.

I do want to repay you for your corn dog research and your tales of zany gift requests, so I’m working on my own gift guide. It will focus primarily on boy toys, but I’ll have a few tips on other gift ideas as well. Stay tuned!
