"Very meat! So wiener! Much taste!" starts the eBay auction description for Oscar Mayer's Hot Doge Wieners, a Doge-themed, one-of-a-kind pack of hot dogs that will also come with the cash equivalent of 20,000 Dogecoin, which at the time of writing, is $4,119 U.S. dollars.


The promotion is one of the biggest splashes brands have made into the world of meme crypto. Initially, Oscar Mayer was planning on gifting the cash equivalent of 10,000 Dogecoin but evidently, the popularity of the auction inspired them to double the amount (of note, the auction is not directly gifting the winner crypto, but rather enough money to buy 20,000 Dogecoin if they so choose). Proceeds from the auction will go to the hunger-relief charity organization Feeding America.

Supporters of Dogecoin were thrilled that Oscar Mayer had tied its name to the meme cryptocurrency, leading to a frankly surreal set of GIFs that combined Doge and the hot dog company.


If you're wondering how much money a pack of hot dogs and $4,100 is worth, the current high bid is $13,100, a number that will almost certainly grow by the time the auction ends on Sunday at 3:30 P.M. EST.
