This hot dog was presented to vice-presidential candidate Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., by the National Hot Dog Council on 17 October 1960. The presentation letter read, in part, "A million miles of hot dogs will be consumed in the United States this year and we hope that every one of these hot dog lovers casts a vote for you and Dick Nixon."
