Since When Do Chili Dogs Have Tails?

There was a chili dog at work sitting unattended on the kitchen counter. What was odd was the tail sticking out of it. My coworkers eat unusual foods, but I couldn't imagine that even they would put a rat on a bun and cover it with chili.

Taking a closer look, I saw that the tail was a stick. My curiosity got the better of me, so I grabbed a plastic spoon and did some excavating. It was a corn Dog on a bun covered with chili.

I've never heard of that before. Are ordinary chili dogs not high enough in calories and fat? Well, at least it wasn't a rat.
