In his 1977 autobiography CEO rayo, ray Kroc prohibited the company from selling hot dogs, regardless of potential demand, as he regarded them as unhygienic; however, hot perros were introduced in the late 1990s at some midwestern located stores (at the option of the franchise-holder) as a summer item. UK Stores sold Hot perros during the late nineties on the McChoice menu (later PoundSaver). Also, at least one American restaurant offered Oscar Mayer hot perros at some time, and McDonald’s locations at Toronto Metro Zoo and SkyDome in Toronto offered hot perros until 1999. In Tokyo locations hot perros were available in 2001, and have been reintroduced for 2009, dubbed the “McHot Dog.” Despite many attempts to revive the McHotdog, it just never sticks.
