Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

Coffe will never taste right again

[–]AnalBurns 17 points18 points ago

Yea, and those sausages are probably nice and coffee-like.

[–]Fambida[!] 18 points19 points ago

Lightly coffeed dogs I could deal with, but hotdog flavored coffee is a killing offense.

[–]DeFex 16 points17 points ago

If only they had some kind of device for washing things.

[–]Fambida[!] 0 points1 point ago

A mere washing won't remove hotdog stink. Soaking the pot in bleach water for a couple days might do the trick though.

[–]DeFex 1 point2 points ago

its glass. if it does not have a lot of lime and other residue in it it will come right out.

[–]AnalBurns 2 points3 points ago

Let's all agree hot dog flavored water is out of the question.

[–]itssheramie 1 point2 points ago

Chocolate covered starfish too?

[–]DeFex -3 points-2 points ago

With that POS machine it will never taste right anyways, and in an office it will probably only last a few months anyways.

[–]Dwells_Under_Bridges 1 point2 points ago

Anyway...

[–]DeFex 1 point2 points ago

Sorry, my mom used to say it and sometimes one slips by.

[–]Fj0ergyn 18 points19 points ago

If it looks stupid and it works, it isn't stupid.

[–]LambastingFrog 36 points37 points ago

I have cooked saveloy sausages in an electric kettle. I was at university, and I was drunk. As a result of being drunk, I neglected to throw out the water afterwards and replace it with non-red, non-beefy water.

This did not please my vegetarian housemate, who had the misfortune to not look while pouring and was making a red-berry tea, so it was even the right colour for her.

[–]kandowontu 6 points7 points ago

You....you're going to hell for that.

[–]LambastingFrog 1 point2 points ago

Psh. I'm going to hell for other things. Hell is where all the the fun people are.

[–]tuoder -4 points-3 points ago

The really sad bit is that she probably liked it.

[–]Asshole_Nord 11 points12 points ago

She liked beefy sausage-tasting water?

[–]a424d5760ab83a7b1a0e 3 points4 points ago

Why am I horny all of a sudden?

[–]winnar72 9 points10 points ago

It's one way to live on the cheap while hotel/motel hopping. Needs ramen.

That could get a man killed. Don't mess with people's coffee.

[–]ExcuseMyFLATULENCE 1 point2 points ago

How? Some extreme allergy?

Edit: genuine question...

[–]Bayou_Blue 35 points36 points ago

Sleepy person enters office, pours himself a nice cup of weiner which is supposed to be coffee.

Goes postal. The end.

[–]ExcuseMyFLATULENCE 4 points5 points ago

I never included that scenario into my risk analysis. I believe a corporate meeting is at hand.

[–]rybones 6 points7 points ago

Scenario B: The pot is cleaned out, but next morning my coffee tastes like hotdog water, then I burn the place to the ground.

[–]so_carelessly_here 2 points3 points ago

next morning my coffee tastes like hotdog water --> burn the place to the ground.

This is the only reasonable thing to do in the given situation.

[–]uptwolait 2 points3 points ago

/r/nocontext

[–]b0w3n 0 points1 point ago

I don't get to pour myself a nice cup of weiner as often as I'd like to.

[–]toomuchpork 0 points1 point ago

My wife seems to have developed a weiner allergy

[–]rasputine 0 points1 point ago

He's not suggesting the coffee will kill someone, he's suggesting the person who drinks it will murder someone.

[–]cefriano 12 points13 points ago

I don't understand how people can eat boiled hot dogs. You gotsta grill that shit.

[–]Lovebeard 2 points3 points ago

You can boil it to cook it, and then seer it after for that crust.

[–]Asshole_Nord 8 points9 points ago

Ain't nobody got time for that.

[–]ciscotree 5 points6 points ago

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7xl2bBkdB1qia0nw.gif

[–]Annoyed_ME 0 points1 point ago

The boiling seems of a waste of time. Hotdogs come precooked. I guess it makes sense if you freeze them and don't want a cold/frozen center when you take it off the grill.

[–]Lovebeard 1 point2 points ago

The point of the boiling isn't too cook them, it's to heat the entire thing up evenly.

[–]Annoyed_ME 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, I've met people that actually believe that a hot dog is raw meat and needs to be cooked.

[–]Lovebeard 0 points1 point ago

Are hotdogs intrinsically cooked? I guess colloquially you are inclined to think of, like, stadium dogs served en masse.

[–]Annoyed_ME 0 points1 point ago

They are made with a non-edible casing (as opposed to some delicious crispy intestine). I think it is some sort of plastic or something. The meat gets cooked in the casing at the factory. The casing then gets cut off before the hotdogs are packaged and shipped. When the casing removal machine cuts the casing off, it leaves a cut mark on the cooked hotdog running the length. This is why hotdogs have that mark on them.

TL;DR Hotdogs get cooked in the factory, just like canned vienna sausages.

[–]randumname 4 points5 points ago

Apparently you've never had a cart dog...you are missing out.

[–]wewd 2 points3 points ago

Hot dog carts here in LA sell grilled, bacon-wrapped hot dogs. Served with grilled onions and peppers. I used to think nothing could top a Chicago dog from a cart. I was wrong.

[–]randumname 0 points1 point ago

Chicago dogs and NYC dogs are good, though. I'm not saying grilled isn't good as well.

Still, if you're going to put grilled onions and peppers on a sausage, you can do a little better than a hot dog.

[–]cefriano 2 points3 points ago

Well now your point is that it's stupid to put delicious things on a hot dog because you could put them on a fancy sausage instead. Which is kinda silly, considering we're discussing the merits of various regional hot dogs and hot dog preparations. Also, I'm not a huge fan of fancy sausage. I'd take a hot dog over anything from Wurstkuche any day.

[–]shan6 1 point2 points ago

Holy shit. Next time I'm in LA this is happening.

[–]cefriano 1 point2 points ago

Someone already responded, but as they said, the cart dogs in LA are grilled and fucking amazing. This is also a pretty ubiquitous thing in LA; it's not like there's only a handful of vendors selling hot dogs this way. If you go to a concert anywhere in the city, you can bet that there will be a Korean dude on the curb afterwards yelling "HOT DOE HOT DOE HOT DOE!" You might get a passable hot dog from a cart in Chicago or NYC, but they will not hold a candle to a grilled, bacon-wrapped hot dog from LA.

[–]slackeyed 0 points1 point ago

Some days I prefer a steamed/boiled dog, other days I'll prefer a grilled crispy dog.

[–]HurricaneErickson -2 points-1 points ago

Agreed. Boiled is the worst way to go. I'll microwave them before I'll boil them.

[–]P3ps 5 points6 points ago

Highly related. Gourmet cooking with coffeemaker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXY8wkSBG9Y

[–]Normanbombardini 3 points4 points ago

A blog about coffemaker cooking, in Swedish but with lots of great pictures (including cats): http://kaffekokarkokboken.blogg.se/

[–]P3ps 1 point2 points ago

"Krämig(gy) Kattsoppa" I'm pretty sure Reddit wouldn't approve. :)

[–]Normanbombardini 2 points3 points ago

No, let's not translate it. Sweden is in enough problem with redditors as it is with this whole Assange deal.

[–]P3ps 0 points1 point ago

Let's not.

[–]NarcissisticNerd 2 points3 points ago

A radio station in my country used to have a segment called "will it cook it in an electric jug". Yea so in conclusion, jugs can cook lots of things. But I wouldn't use my main coffee maker.

[–]flagcaptured 1 point2 points ago

Destroy that coffee pot.

[–]abucketofpuppies 2 points3 points ago

hahaha In the title: Not a friend. Not even an acquaintance. just "Someone I know"

[–]supericy 1 point2 points ago

so that's why my coffee tasted like wiener

[–]mwilke 1 point2 points ago

There is another possibility...

[–]DiscountPonies 1 point2 points ago

I don't work in that sort of office environment anymore, but it amazes me the lack of common courtesy people have for others. I mean, that's just so rude on so many levels.

[–]BackwardsdrawkcaB 0 points1 point ago

You can also make ramen in a coffee pot quite well. Pro-tip: When you don't have any pots, don't ever use a coffee pot on a stove. It will light the handle on fire.

[–]Mecchio 1 point2 points ago

So few buns for so many hotdogs. Some innuendo there I think.

[–]Ragnalypse -1 points0 points ago

If that room was reddit, the coffee pot would be r/atheism.

[–]sharpiefairy666 0 points1 point ago

Almost did this yesterday with mac n cheese- we don't have a pot to boil water. Realized it was probably not a good idea. But I'm glad yours worked out!

[–]Artukk 0 points1 point ago

Oh man that just seems so bad... I mean yeah it would work but oh god..

[–]IDGAFchris 1 point2 points ago

GENIUS!

[–]spaceroach 1 point2 points ago

I'm tempted to try this, for science, but not with my damn coffee maker.

[–]GeneralMalfeasance 1 point2 points ago

...Some people just want to see the world burn...

[–]snoozieboi 0 points1 point ago

We actually had a coffe machine at work that had the option "wiener", now I know...

Edit: it was "Wiener Melange" (Melange is a brand of butter here...)

[–]AnimalsTrollToo 0 points1 point ago

Whenever someone gets coffee from their, they'll know his wiener was in it...

[–]TheMightyAdzilla 0 points1 point ago

I hope the guy washes the pot very thoroughly afterwards. I'd go apeshit if I made a coffee after that and it tasted like... like... what the fuck are hotdogs made of? Whatever, if I make a coffee and find out it tastes like brine and ''meat'' I'd be seriously pissed.

[–]mudduck454 2 points3 points ago

Hot dogs are made of lips and ass.

[–]Roopa132 0 points1 point ago

Leaving the buns on top of the coffee maker where all the steam makes them mushy is a pretty bad idea.

[–]Andrebatman 0 points1 point ago

hot dogs in america are odd....

[–]kolthor 0 points1 point ago

That is either the worst or best idea ever!

If you worked with them you would know them, if you didn't work with them you would have to know them to receive a whacky hotdog cooking picture.

[–]dstroyed 0 points1 point ago

Is anyone else confused at the bun to dog ratio?

[–]eyereport 0 points1 point ago

Someone down at the hotdog factory got together with someone at the bun factory and decided to screw the American public!

Folgers' new "Lips & Assholes Blend"

[–]perkocet 0 points1 point ago

would this actually work? i figure it would since coffee is brewed at 180-200 degrees. but it can't sustain that type of heat on the burner..so maybe it would take longer to cook? SOMEONE TELL ME NOW

[–]ReggieNJ 0 points1 point ago

Hot dogs are pre-cooked, you don't even have to heat them up. You can actually eat them cold if you really wanted to.

[–]td5_23 0 points1 point ago

Caffeinated hot dogs sound like a great idea.

[–]ChaoticGood_Guy_Greg 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of spring break. Our room was supposed to have a microwave and a mini fridge, it had neither. We expressed our concerns to the front desk and they brushed us off. So we had a fuck ton of hot dogs and nothing to cook them in and nothing to store them in. Drunken MacGyver time, while one of my friends chopped his in half and put it in the coffee pot (it was one of those only on cup of coffee pots that they put in hotel rooms), I broke out the clothes iron and grilled some motherfucking hotdogs. Good luck spending the money you stole from us replacing your clothes iron you asshats!

[–]Tenth_Doctor 2 points3 points ago

You do realize that they remove those items before Spring Breakers show up right? They also put in their cheap stuff because they know that Spring Breakers are going to break a lot of things.

What you needed to do was find a condo and rent that, then you have a full kitchen and what have you. The only downside is that most condos you have to be over 26 to rent (even when it isn't Spring Break time due to HOAs).

This info is only good for Panama City Beach spring break.. not sure how they do it elsewhere.

If you came to PCB for Spring Break then you are a fool, the area is expensive as hell! Hell it is cheaper to get into Disney than it is to get into some of the attractions.

[–]ChaoticGood_Guy_Greg 0 points1 point ago

You do realize that we paid extra for a room so it would have a microwave and a fridge right? If we break shit that's why we put down deposits and credit cards so they can charge for it, not rip me off for a service they took out of my room. The Iron isn't the only thing we fucked with to break even with those thieves.

Spring break is supposed to be cheap as shit and paying double the money per person for a condo is fucking stupid when I barely spend time there anyways other than sleeping, showering and eating.

If I get drunk at Disney and ask people to show me their tits they get offended, so of coarse I'm going to go to a Spring Break destination like PCB. And no shit it's fucking expensive but the beach is free and that's where you meet girls to hang out with later. Every bar has a day where it doesn't cost an arm and a leg and some places like Spinnaker's are easy enough to get into for free once you learn their system.
