Hot Dog Flavored Seltzer Coming To 7/11
New from 7/11: Hot dog flavor seltzer.
In the latest case of, “What On God’s Green Earth Are They Thinking”, a local convenience store has announced a new beverage coming to their shelves on Monday. Among the new sparkling water flavors available at 7/11 in this product launch will be, “Hot Dog Flavored Seltzer”. I’m grossed out just by reading those words together in one sentance.
The new sparkling water flavor was announced by convenience store giant, 7/11. Their new line of seltzer will not only include “hot dog” flavor, but also Lemon Lime, Green Apple, and Sweet Orange. Honestly, the last few sound pretty good. But the other one… gag me with a spoon.

As you can see above, a photo of the new can of “Hot Dog Sparkling Water” has been making the rounds on social media. The press release that they dropped to support the launch claims that they’ve concocted the new flavors in partnership with the Miracle Seltzer beverage company.
They’re calling it, “daring flavor that pushes the boundaries of flavor innovation,” and something that’s sure to “delight even the most adventurous of palates.”
I’m calling it the absolute worst idea in beverage since “New Coke”. But at least New Coke didn’t make me want to vomit. This idea makes me want to spew. Nobody has ever went up to a New York City hot dog vendor and said, “Hey gimme two with relish and mustard and while you’re at it I’ll take a gallon of that juice to go.” If they did we would have heard about it because they’d be the subject of a ground breaking psychiatric study on the how the human sense of taste can get out of whack.
But, it’s 2024 and here we are. Hot dog flavored seltzer is a thing coming this Monday, April 1st. Wait a minute. Wait just one minute. April 1st, you say?!
Hmmmmm.
8 Outrageous Tour Rider Demands and Other Requests
Tour riders are often some of the most interesting parts of any artist or band’s tour. They often offer an inside look into just how high-maintenance some artists can be. This is often exemplified by how specific their requests might be.
Some rock stars require specific kinds of food and drink, while others clearly want a dressing room that sets a certain mood. Some tour riders feature requests so outrageous they must be a joke. Other tour riders — like one infamous one at the very end of our list — feature details that are actually requests to see if you read the rider at all.
And then there are rock stars like Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, who likes to see just what he can get away with. He shared in a recent interview, ” … As the years have gone on, and we had access to more and more outrageous requests being honored, it starts to make you ask for strange things.” Homme also claims that asking for strange things is a sign of having a good sense of humor, which he says, “other than injections,” keeps you young.
So, what strange things have Homme asked for on his rider? Apparently, it has included chocolate-covered ants and a map of Ireland on his dressing room wall.
Homme said, “People would ask me, ‘Josh, why do you have chocolate-covered ants and a framed map of Ireland?’ and I would say, ‘Wouldn’t you like to know, mind your damn business.'”
Our list below highlights eight tour riders. The first from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band made headlines back in 2023. (Make no mistake: When a tour rider is leaked, it almost always makes headlines. There are at least a few items on it that leave you asking, “Umm…really?!”)
Without further ado, keep scrolling and find out which of your favorite rock stars have interesting requests on their tour riders.
