1. My mom used to do that for my brother and I

2. Did she have the official cutter?

Or did she use a knife?

8. knife

She's cut them in half, then shape them like octopi. :D

3. I have a 2 year old

...and if making hot dogs into octopi will get her to eat, it wouldn't be a dumb tool at all. Anything that can help accomplish that task is ok by me....

6. "children will never starve themselves." Some of the best advice I ever got!

It took a lot of pressure off of feeding Darling Princess.

Children are grazers and sometimes have trouble with our concepts regarding "meals".

Unsolicited advice:

hot dogs are gross. The bonds we make with food as children can stick with us our entire lives.

7. We almost never served our kids hot dogs

So I wouldn't be inclined to buy something that actually encouraged them to eat them.

4. The "How It Works" looks like a sophisticated method of torture.

Then again, I don't have kids.

5. It even gives the hot dog eyes..

I have the feeling this idea came at an intimate quiet moment between a man
and the penis pump he ordered from late night TV......
