The hot dog contest


There's one thing I didn't understand. Did Tony have to pay to get in the contest?

reply

No, he didn't have to pay. They probably had to pay for their hot dogs, but at the time, those'd probably be about $.25 a piece, so I doubt it'd cut into their profit margin.

might cost of living was different back then

Assuming it was a quarter a dog, and Tony at 26, that's $6.50. Tony has a net profit of $43.50.

“No Vern. They just let him in.”
