Hello, It’s Friday! This week’s question is inspired from a recent podcast where I heard the question below:
Would you rather receive a $1 million lump sum - no strings attached - or $1000 for every full sized hot dog you can eat?

I vote $1 million because I’m simply not committed to hot dogs enough for it to be worthwhile

Is there a time limit for the hotdogs eating ?
If not, do hotdogs count just the sausage or is it with buns too.
You’d need to eat 1 hotdog every day for what, 1000 days, or little less than 3 years, and you’d have the same amount of money.
This is also without counting on whether or not these count as hotdogs (they’re full sized, for what they are).

No time limit, but I think the bun should be necessary.
These look like an abomination, so I’m making the executive decision that they do not count.

Of course 1000 per hot dog! First of all it would be easier to loun… I mean include in home budget!
Second of all. You’ve got a milion. Now what? It will be gone before you know it. Cheeky grand here and there is better.

1k per hot dog. I can get drunk and demolish 15 of those things easily, although surely you’d get utterly fed up of it after a while. Would it ever come to the point you’d be “keep your money I can’t bear the thought of another hot dog”?

1% of 1M is 10k.
even if youre lazy and dont know how to invest, just depositing it at a bank easily nets you 10k a month, if youre not eating atleast one hotdog every 3 days you up in money

Yah if it was at one time eating…food challenges are evil, would take the million dollars… but just for every hot dog… i could eat a lot of hot dog meals and make it worth while in the long run…so long as it doesn’t kill me first…

This is the way I’m leaning. If it were apricots or something, though; that’s a whole other story.

…they’re actually surprisingly good. Fun fact; I found the wrapper of one of these sewn into a school uniform once. Was the weirdest “WTF” moment of my life so far.

How big da hotdog tho?
I would pick the 1K per hotdog option, 1k’s a lot of money but also not too much so I feel there’s far less chance of me getting lost in the sauce that would be a million dabloons. Probably because I don’t value money as much as many people do.

A free million is a nice step towards retirement
