Frank 'n Stuff was the brand name of a hot dog stuffed with either cheese or chili and sold in the United States from mid-1986 until the 1990s by Hormel, as a variation of the chili dog.[2][3][4][5]
Frank 'n Stuff used Hormel brand chili for the filling [6] and was one of the company's six major product introductions between 1986 and 1987.[7] At the time, the company described the product as "the fun food that features a tunnel of cheese or chili inside a Hormel hot dog".[8] Frank 'n Stuff's eponymous mascot was a friendly Frankenstein-type character[2] and Hormel ran frequent television and print advertisements featuring him.[9][10]
In 1986, during labor unrest at a production plant, razor blades were found in two packages of the product,[11] but there was no recall.[12]
