# Foxnews.com: Checker's & Rally's Enters Weiner War, Reminds Customers Hot Dogs Have Been On Its Menu For 30 Years

**TL;DR:** Checkers & Rally's has entered the wiener war by reminding customers that hot dogs have been on its menu for 30 years, in response to Burger King's new hot dog sale. Checkers & Rally's challenged Burger King to a #WienerSmackdown via Twitter.

## Story

Last week, Burger King restaurants nationwide began selling two types of hot dogs: a regular hot dog with ketchup, mustard and relish for $1.99 and a chili cheese dog for $2.29.

But it didn’t take long for the competition to strike back. 7-11 poked fun at Burger King on social media: “Kings selling hot dogs? What’s next, dictators selling Slurpees?”

Long-time hot dog purveyors Checkers & Rally’s also joined in on the attack, challenging Burger King to a #WienerSmackdown via Twitter.
