Yes, we're yet to reach a conclusion in the Vada Pao vs Hot Dog fight, but the National Hot Dog Day is already here! All the arguments can take the backseat as of now; for it's time to stuff our mouths and relish the sizzle!
What is a Hot Dog?
A hot dog is a cooked sausage, traditionally a frankfurter or wiener, served in a sliced bun.
It's a popular food, often enjoyed at casual gatherings like picnics and sporting events.
The sausage is typically made from beef, pork, or a combination, and may include poultry.
While the exact origin of the name is debated, the hot dog has been a popular food in the United States since the late 1800s. There are many regional and cultural variations of the hot dog, including the Chicago-style hot dog with its specific toppings.
What is National Hot Dog Day?
Celebrated on July 16, National Hot Dog Day is a part of National Hot Dog Month, an initiative launched by the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council back in 1994. Initially pegged to a Capitol Hill luncheon, this mid‑summer celebration honors one of America's most iconic and one of the most affordable foods.
Let's get real for a moment and boast about the heritage a little bit. Hot dogs aren't just food – they're part of the American identity.

They're the cultural comfort Americans crave. According to the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, Americans consume around 20 billion hot dogs annually, about 70 per person, with an estimated 150 million hot dogs eaten in the USA on the Fourth of July. That's enough to stretch from Washington D.C.
on the east coast of the USA to L.A. on the west coast more than five times.
From German sausage roots to Coney Island carts and backyard BBQs, hot dogs are deeply woven into the tapestry of American tradition.
Regional styles like the Chicago dog (no ketchup!), New York dog, Sonoran bacon-wrapped dog, West Virginia chili dog, and the creamy Seattle dog exemplify the diversity of hot dog culture.

Rising golf star Charlie Woods: Inside the life of Tiger Woods' son, from school to net worth
Source: X The 16-year-old son of Tiger Woods is following closely in his father's footsteps and making waves in junior golf. On Thursday, Charlie Woods stayed in strong contention for a spot on the U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team, tying for second place at the Junior PGA Championship after firing a 5-under 66 in a rain-delayed third round at Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in Indiana. Sitting at 12-under 202, Charlie is proving he's not just a famous last name—but a rising contender in his own right. But there is more to Charlie Woods than just his last name. Here is all about Charlie Woods- Family and background Charlie is the younger of two children born to Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren. His sister, Sam Alexis Woods, was born in 2007. After their parents' divorce in 2010, both children have been raised through a cooperative co-parenting arrangement. From his mother's relationship with former NFL player Jordan Cameron, Charlie also has three half-siblings. His heritage reflects a multicultural blend—Swedish through his mother, and African-American, Thai, Chinese, and Dutch through his father. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo Source: X Tiger has often spoken publicly about the joy and grounding that fatherhood brings him, especially following his serious car crash in 2021. 'Being a dad has helped him stay focused on his recovery,' a PEOPLE source said, noting that his children are his greatest motivation. Education Charlie attends The Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida, where he is part of the Class of 2027. He plays for the school's competitive golf team, which ranks among Florida's most elite. Though he hasn't yet made a college commitment, he's clearly on the radar of top programs. Bilingual in English and Swedish, Charlie also has a strong interest in equipment, often described as picky about his golf clubs, much like his father. As a younger child, Charlie focused more on soccer, but during the COVID-19 pandemic, when team sports were restricted, he gravitated toward golf, a shift that would set him on his current path. Golf career and achievements Charlie Woods began attracting national attention when he became the youngest competitor in PNC Championship history at age 11 in 2020. He and Tiger have played in the event for five consecutive years, showing impressive chemistry and consistency. In 2020, the father-son duo tied at 5th position, and Charlie made his first eagle with a 175-yard 5-wood. They came second in the years 2021 and 2024. The year 2024 was particularly special for Charlie as he made his first hole-in-one with a 7-iron on a par-3, helping force a playoff. That year's event also set a TV viewership record, with a 147% increase in first-round ratings from the previous year. Source: X Hurricane Junior Golf Tour's Major Championship in Royal Palm Beach by eight strokes in the 14–15 age group. A few months later, in September, he won the Last Chance Regional with a low round of 66. In November 2023, he helped The Benjamin School win the Florida Class A State Championship and finished tied for 26th. That season, he ranked 80th overall in Florida high school golf, 9th among freshmen, and 28th in Class 1A. His biggest win came in May 2025, when he won his first AJGA title at the Team TaylorMade Invitational. He shot 15-under (70-65-66) and beat a field that included four of the top-five AJGA players. Charlie also qualified for the U.S. Junior Amateur in both 2024 and 2025. In 2024, he missed the cut after rounds of 82 and 80. In 2025, he qualified again at Trinity Forest but missed the cut with rounds of 81 and 74. Net worth As of 2024, Charlie Woods' estimated net worth is approximately $25 million, driven by family wealth, endorsements, sponsorships, and media appearances. His annual income is around $4 million, though most of it is tied to long-term brand value and investments rather than tournament earnings.

UK baby names: ‘Yahya' climbs the baby name charts — here's what it means
Shakespeare once asked, 'What's in a name?' Names carry history, culture, and sometimes, unintended connections. That makes it notable that 'Yahya' saw the biggest rise in popularity among UK boys' names last year. According to newly released data from the Office for National Statistics, 583 baby boys in the UK were named Yahya in 2024, enough to place it at number 93 on the most popular boys' names list, a jump of 33 places from the year before. It's the name's first time entering the UK's top 100. This sudden jump in popularity has not gone unnoticed by people, because 'Yahya' is also the first name of Yahya Sinwar , the Hamas leader. Yahya name is of Arabic origin, rooted in the Quranic tradition where it represents the Arabic form of John—known in Hebrew as Yohannan. The name comes from the Arabic root ḥ-y-y (حيي), meaning "to live" or "life," and is often interpreted as "he lives" or "long-lived." In Islam, Yahya refers to John the Baptist, a respected prophet who is regarded as the forerunner to Jesus. Yahya wasn't the only new entry in the baby name rankings. Among boys, names like Austin, Nathan, and Vinnie also made it into the top 100. For girls, Athena, Eloise, Rosa, Nora, and Zoe were fresh entries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo Muhammad held the number one spot for boys for a second year in a row, followed by Noah and Oliver.
