Snoop Dogg to release hot dog line

When Snoop Dogg rapped the words, "Drop it like it's hot," was he tailing about his sizzling hot dogs?

Hip-hop superstar Snoop Dogg has decided to get into the hot dog business, corning out with his very own brand of frankfurters called none other than "Snoop Doggs."

Snoop has partnered with Platinum One Media's Franco Petrucci and Jeff Earp on this delicious product. Bing Worthington, Snoop 's 26-year-old brother and business manager, told the Boston Herald that, "There aren't any celebrity hot dogs out there. Who's the competition? Ball Park?"

"I don't think they will be successful because I can only see college guys buying them just to say they have 'Snoop Doggs,"' Lauren Edwards, a junior marketing major, said.

"It is an interesting concept.

I'm not surprised that he has come out with something like this because rappers come out with ridiculous products," Dan Cowhey, a senior history and secondary education major, said. This does not mean that Dogg is out of the music industry. "Welcome To Da Chuuch Da Album," his new album, which hit stores not too long ago on Dec. 13. This delectable foot-long is expected to reach grocery stores by 2006 and will be wrapped like the rapper. Cowhey said, "I don't eat hot dogs, but ifl did, I'd give them a whirl!"
