Your own private 7-Eleven [hot dog roller]

If you're at all like me whenever you happen to be in a 7-Eleven and have to wait in line you can't help but look at those wizened hot dogs slowly rolling over and over in the clear box next to the cash registers.

How long have some of them been in there?

Who buys them?

These are among the great mysteries of our civilization.

But I digress.

From the website:

Hot Dog Roller

The key to a perfect hot dog?

Even grilling.

But keeping tabs on a grillful of dogs is no picnic.

This professional hot dog roller keeps them turning in sync and with total precision.

And when the dogs are done to perfection and ready for their buns, it also serves as a spatula to lift the roller from the grill.

• Specially designed wood-handled tool turns roller safely and easily

• Evenly cooks up to 10 hot dogs (or five foot-longs) at a time

• Measures 12-7/8" x 1-1/4" x 15-1/2" assembled

• Stainless-steel

$30 (hot dogs not included).
