Doge, it seems, is the new Supreme logo. Slap that side-glancing shiba inu on anything, or have Elon Musk mention the name in a positive light, and you’ve got a bestseller. So, to appease the public’s insatiable appetite, hot dog producer Oscar Mayer branched out to add a new type of hot dog, Doge, to its offerings.
Last Thursday, the Kraft Heinz-owned company listed ‘Hot Doge Wieners’ on eBay, with only one of the 10-pack going up for sale. “Very meat. So wiener. Much taste,” its description reads. And there to sell the sausages, of course, was the internet’s favorite shiba inu.

The main draw, though, was the cash equivalent for 20,000 DOGE that Oscar Mayer had promised to include with the package for its only buyer in the world.
The pack went up with a starting bid of US$0.99, but closed on August 8 with a final sale price of US$15,001.
Oscar Mayer says all proceeds made from this one-off sale will be donated to US hunger relief nonprofit Feeding America.
