By cutting your hot dogs just right, you can make octopus hotdogs! Simply cut your hotdogs lengthwise four times to within an inch or so of the tip on one end. You should have 1 inch of "regular hot dog" and 8 "legs". Put in the pot to boil as usual and the hot water will curl the "legs" up and provide your kids with Octopus Hotdogs! Always a hit in my house.
