What ever happened to the Frank n' Stuff weiner?

They were great!!! Are they going to bring them back? Oh to be young again.BRING THEM BACK!!!!

Please God bring them back (well the chili ones anyway... you can leave the cheese ones in the dustbin of history)

Okay, I thought I was the ONLY one to remember these things! Every time I'm in the grocery store and I pass the hot dog area, I look to see if they're on the shelf...just in case.

They were the best! can anyone tell me where I can find them?

I loved these hot dogs! Whenever I tell people about them, they don't remember them. They were soooo good! I remember the taste like it was yesterday. BRING BACK FRANK N' STUFF HOT DOGS!

Frank N' Stuff with Chili was the best! I remember they used was Hormel chili, but, alas, there is no mention of our beloved FNS on the Hormel Web site. If anyone out there wants to begin some kind of organized campaign to attempt to bring them back count me in.

I loved these. I have no idea when they stopped making them, but I am the only one in my family that remembers and I was the youngest having been born in 1981.

These chili dogs were the bomb! I don't understand why they don't bring them back.

I just thought about how good these were and decided to google them...unfortunately I guess they are no longer sold. Hormel needs to bring them back!

FRANK N STUFF, MY WIFE AND I REMEMBER THEM WELL, SO I SENT THIS PAGE TO HORMEL. SO THEY KNOW WE WANT THEM BACK. WE AS THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE HEARD. AND GET WHAT WE WANT! SO IF EVERYONE COULD JUST EMAIL HORMEL. WE COULD ALL HAVE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE!

bless you all for starting this thread. i want the chili ones back too!

Just wanted to add to it. I loved the Cheese Frank n Stuff they were a hundred times better than any cheese hot dogs on the market these days. I would buy them in a second. The last time I saw them was around 1994 when I was in the Air Force. The chili was ok to but give me the cheese.

Please bring these back to our grovcery shelves!!!!!! I lived on these things and would love to share my youth flavors with my kids today. these thing were the absolute best!

im glad other people remember these dogs- why did they discontinue a good thing?

well, do any if you guys remember biting in to have 700 degree chili squirt through the back of your skull like Freakin lava under 500psi? I still liked em, but I quit chuggin pig flesh (eyeballs, snouts & anuses? No thanks.) 15 years ago anyway.

Oh how I miss you frank 'n Stuffs! I am 31 now, for years, my mom has tried to track them down for my brother and I for a funny present. Put a piece of american wrapper cheese, ketchup / mustard, with a side order of chips. incredible. all you had to do was put two buns, two FNS and break a slice of cheese in half on top of them, what was it 35 seconds and you had the best dog in the world??? Bring them Back

they were gross

Chili stuffed were the best hot dogs!!! bar none. Lets get them back!!!

I was on a camping trip on acid and all we had was Coors Silver Bullets and Frank N Stuffs. The Frank N Stuffs saved my life.

In 1990 I was a member of a short-lived rap group called frankenstuff. At the end of every show we threw the eponymous weiners out into the audience. The reception was mixed. Good times.

frankenstuff hotdogs were my favorite as well.I remember a news story about people microwaving the hotdogs and burning the insides of their mouths because the chili was scolding hot inside.I think too many consumers were trying to cash in like the McDonalds hot coffee lawsuit so the hotdogs were quietly put to rest.Please bring em back.I keep looking but I never see them.

Please, please bring back the frank n stuff please

bring them back im hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have looked for these hot dogs for years ! They were absolutly the best, no questions asked. If they are worried about a lawsuit all's they would have to do is put a disclaimmer on the package, just like McDonalds did with their coffee cups & apple and cherry pie boxes. It's as simple as that. Now I will be waiting for them to hit the shelves again. I've been waiting 20 years already, what the hell is a couple more years.

Frank 'N Stuff with chili always reminded me of the Chili Dogs I used to get at the Dairy Queen in Plattsmouth, Nebraska when I was a kid. I miss them! Please Bring Them Back!!!

Yes,I too loved these things and I also check every time in store just in case,Please bring them back..

These chili dogs were the bomb. They need to bring them back. If I could eat just one thing for the rest of my life and Frank-n-stuff chili dogs were available, these would be it. BRING THEM BACK.

I agree they were scorching hot when you bit into them but every bite was worth it, I too used to eat them and had my mom trying to track them down forever. I WANT THEM BACK!!! only hot dog I really liked.

This is hilarious! I was just asking my friends about these the other day, and they all looked at me like I was crazy. The chili ones were awesome!

MY HUSBAND KEEPS RAVING ABOUT THESE DOGS AND LIKE OH SOME MANY PEOPLE DO HE LOOKS IN EVERY STORE TO SEE IF THEY ARE ON THE SHELF I AM OLDER THEN HIM AND DO NOT REMEMBER THEM BUT HE CANT WAIT TILL THEY BRING THEM BACK MAYBE WE CAN ALL SIGN OUR NAMES TO A PEICE OF PAPER STATING HOW MUCH WE WANT THEM BACK WHO KNOWS MAY AFTER RECIEVING THOUSANDS OR MAYBE EVEN MILLIONS OF NAME BEGGING THEM TO BRING THEM BACK THEY MIGHT YOU NEVER KNOW I JUST KNOW MY HUSBAND REALLY REALLY WANTS THEN BACK

Those Frank n'Stuff hot dogs where the best. I wish there wuz sumtn we could do to bring them back. But those bad boys where pretty hot after u cooked them. O man I told my husband about him he wuz like "WHAT?". If they could bring back the FranknStuff dogs and Sour Cream n Onion Doritos from the 1970's my snack area would be covered.

i used to love these hot dogs from when i was a kid. i can remember at first didnt want the chili i would make my mom use the sprayer from the kitchen sink to spray the chili out and squirt mustard in its place. what a waste lol. i later started eating them with the chili until they were discontinued.. so sad. I too look every time im in a supermarket especially when I'm far from home

Oh I would soooo love to have these back. I have told my kids about them and they want to try them too. It would be really nice to be able to share this memory with my kids. I bet if they brought them back they would be a big seller. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!

I too loved the Hormel's Frank'n'stuffs. They stopped making them because of people burning their mouths on the chili. Which in a country where we need labels to tell us not to blow dry our hair while taking a shower... I do not see this product making a comeback. Lawsuits aside, these dogs were great. At least the Hormel chili no beans and your favorite hot dog will do(these days I'm partial to Nathan's). The frank'n'stuffs were much more convenient however.

Still waiting......please hate to beg but really please it's long over due at least try to see what is long over due:-) BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!

Protip: Cook hotdogs. Heat chili dog sauce. Spoon sauce over hotdogs. Eat.

I just got off the horn with Mr. Jonathan at Hormel. We're back baby! They are firing up the stuffin machines. They make chili now and put in cans.

When I invented chili back in the 80's, I had no idea how popular it would become. Now, as we look on into the 21st century, chili stands fast on the horizon, ready to serve you once again. We will be offering our canned chili to you, the consumer, and will be honored if you would grace your weiners with our invention slathered upon the. Ian Flemming owns the rights to the chili squirtin' machine technology that goes up in the hotdog. His lawyer called me in 1994 and told me quite bluntly. "hey...guess what......no more "twinkie the kidd" for you.." I was like "huh" Then he said, "you are now prohibitted from making stuffed hotdogs. do you know Mr. Pickles?" I then hung up on him. I had no idea who Mr. Pickles was. Felt as if there was a weird sexual overtone in his inflection. Mr. Rands will probably fill you all in later on what is sizing up to be the biggest courtroom battle since Donkey Man wanted yet another bag of chips. Thank you and please look for our canned chili in the soup isle at your nearest local grocer. Thank you for allowing me this time.

Those things rawked I loved them as a kid!!!

I loved those hotdogs. I've never looked at another hotdog the same. To have one today would bring back such great memories. Maybe we should write to conagra foods. They are the ones that own hormel. They own tons of food company' s.

Man, I look for these things all the time. The chilli ones. I loved them! Please please bring them back!

Man didn't even realize they stopped making these, they were great. Loved the chili ones and think they had ones with cheese inside them too but don't remember them tasting that great.

i was just at the store where we use too get them the only store that i knew had them and i ask a guy that worked there about them but he didnt know nothing about them and yes the hot dogs with chili was the best i wish they would make them agian

You mean to tell me one man and his lawyer are the only ones in the world that can stuff hot dogs?That makes me wonder if these stooges are responsible for the ball park cheese hot dogs. Anyway i would suggest coming up with your own machine

Loved them. Did find a problem cookin in a micro wav. They exploded! But found that kind of fun too LOLOL

I remember them and I remember them becoming contaminated with some type of bacteria. They recalled them and I never seen them since then. Although if I remember, the cheese ones weren't included in the recall. I liked them and the cheese ones too.

There was a class action lawsuit against Hormel for Frank n Stuff's brought about by people who burned their mouths and faces while eating a frank n stuff. I could not find any information on the settlement. So thank the lawyers for ruining this culinary masterpiece.

I remember Frank n Stuff hotdogs so well!! I loved the Chilli ones and the cheese ones were pretty good as well!! We didn't get them often because they were expensive but we did occasionally get them for a special treat!! I wish they would bring them back!!

These were great! Bring them back!!

Frank n Stuff were the best hotdogs ever!!! Hormel really needs to step their game up and bring these back on the market!

God bless you Frank n' Stuff, maybe in heaven we will again enjoy your taste. I too always look in the meat case looking for those tasty treats...

I can has Frank N Stuffs? I too have missed these, the chili ones are legend...and like other legends such as bigfoot and chupacabra, can't be found anywhere. If they don't mind poisoning us thru our foods, why do they care if a few morons were too stoopid to let their hot dog cool off? Bring em back! And if people are too ignorant to eat them properly..."then let them eat cake"!

Put a warning label on the stuff and let us have those awesome chili and cheese filled dogs!!!!

These were the best damn hot dogs ever made. I remember eating them while watching "heathcliff" after school...lol and Miami Vice. PLease bring them back

best ever. i miss them as well as their cool name.

i didnt want any other hoy dogs for a while after these classic wonderful easy to make foods were yanked from us

Kneel before my frank'n'stuff. Let me jet delicious chili into your hungry mouth holes.

They were great and like others I still look for them when I'm grocery shopping.Does anyone remember about the same time the "u" shaped seamless hot dog buns they were the perfect buns they wouldn't break in half.I can't remember what they were called but they were great for the chilli stuffers

I was a Hormel rep right out of college in 1984 when these were introduced. In fact, I inherited the title of #1 Frank 'n Stuff salesman when I took over a territory in Michigan. They didn't sell terribly well, and they struggled trying to get the salt content lower, but the packages would blow up like balloons when the salt was reduced. Funny story: One of the Sr. Managers' kids suggested they put peanut butter and jelly inside... not sure if it got a trial or not, but it WAS discussed. ICK! Also, first presentation of the chili version to one of my buyers was with a hot dog that had NOTHING inside but an empty tunnel... thankfully they got those bugs worked out!

I still look for the Frank n Stuff hot dogs to come back that can crap does not compare. I'm with the rest bring em back please.

Doesn't make sense how Oscar Myer can put cheese in the dogs and this isn't legal. They would probably sell better than a Twinkies with the bankruptcy.... I'm sure money could change the twinkie guys mind....Bring Back Frank N Stuff!!!!

I didn't need anything on the hotdog, just the bun and it taste Devine! Does anyone know if they will bring then back?

Dude these Were the H-Bomb of the '80's n for Awhile the Only dog I would eat!! I was just telling a friend about em n if they added onion maybe a Lil "Dijon" and they would be even better!! I agree on getting a petition going I would Surely sign it Twice!! Sincerely, Mathew.wegener@yahoo.com

I think that some boneheads were burning their tongues and complained, so they discontinued them...check out 'Hey Hormel, Bring Back Frank N' Stuff Hot Dogs!' on Facebook. Maybe we can get enough people (who know how to eat them properly) to get them back!

BRING THEM BACK PRONTO!!! I DONT CARE HOW MANY TIMES I BURNT MY TONGUE...BRING THEM BACK!!!!

Please, I beg you, bring Frank & Stuff back! I like chili & cheese inside hot dog... Frank & Stuff is championship #1!!!!!!

Hark! They have returned. Being made by Oscar myer.

I just emailed the company also. I was born in 81 and remember these like it was yesterday! Oscar Meyer just released a chili cheese hotdog that us excellent, but it's not the same!Bring back the chili dogs!

I just had one of the OM chili cheese hot dogs...no where near the same. Ugh...I was so hoping they would be similar to Frank N Stuffs! Oh well, here's to hoping they can bring them back in our lifetime...

My grandma would force feed them to me straight outta the fridge. i used to eat sticks of butter and expired 7-UP too

It's a shame they discontinued these. Oscar Mayer Chili Cheese Dogs aren't the same. They are good, but they can't hold a candle to Frank n' Stuff.

POST TO THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE AND KINDLY REQUEST THEY BRING BACK FRANK-N-STUFF!!

They were the best. I miss them like an old love. I think you're right about them being discontinued because of mouth burns. That's what disclaimers are for though. BRING THEM BACK.

I was born in the 50's and was raising kids when our favorite hot dog hit the market. We live in a rural area but we had a grocery store that carried regular Oscar Meyer's and Frank 'n Stuff. You just needed fixins for smores and everyone was happy! Bring em back!!!

I absolutely LOVED these as a kid! Why oh why do they quit making all the good stuff??

Please bring these back, they were amazing.
