Colorado Rockies introduce the Glizzilla: a hot dog monster
The Colorado Rockies, a Major League Baseball team, have recently introduced a remarkable new snack: the Glizzilla. This giant hot dog, whose name combines the slang term “glizzy” (for hot dog) and Godzilla, is a striking addition to the stadium food lineup.
Features of the Glizzilla
The Glizzilla measures an impressive 23 inches (about 58.42 cm) long. For comparison, that’s longer than two Nintendo Switch 2 consoles placed end to end and nearly as long as one and a half PlayStation 5 systems. The hot dog itself comes in a 19-inch bun (about 48 cm), which is slightly longer than Pokémon’s Dachsbun. The Glizzilla weighs a full pound (about 450 grams).
How to eat it
According to the Rockies, two people are recommended to share a Glizzilla, inviting a joint eating experience that calls to mind the classic Lady and the Tramp scene. Visitors can top the Glizzilla with a variety of condiments, including ketchup, mustard, relish, mayo, and onions, which are presumably added during the meal.
Price and availability
A Glizzilla costs $45, a hefty price for a hot dog. For the same money, visitors could probably buy a pack of hot dogs and buns at the supermarket and assemble several smaller dogs themselves. For those looking for a cheaper option, the Kansas City Royals offer $1 hot dogs during their monthly Dollar Dog Night, potentially delivering more value for money.
