July 4 Food Facts: How Many Hot Dogs Do We Consume

• Americans eat 20 billion hot dogs a year – an average of 70 hot dogs per person. More hot dogs are eaten in July than any other month of the year, which is why it is designated National Hot Dog Month.
  

• On July 4 alone, the biggest hot dog day of the year, 155 million hot dogs will be consumed. That is enough hot dogs to stretch from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., more than five times. More.
