"I grew up in southeastern NC and we had them and they are hands down the best hot dogs in the world. I’ve been in 32 countries and eaten hot dogs from Russia to Argentina and Bright Leaf is the best."
— G.A.
"These hot dogs and all of Bright Leaf Products are the best under the sun and on the planet. I dearly love the distinctive flavor these hotdogs have. They are excellent whether eaten cooked or plain. Just toss between a slice of bread, roll it, and enjoy!! Their bologna with a fresh tomato and mayo makes a sandwich a sandwich. Great Job Bright Leaf! and Carolina Packers."

"These hot dogs taste just as I remember from decades ago. Place them in a frying pan and cook them till they're well done. Then place the hot dogs on a piece of bread with mustard and cheese and chilli and the world is one. Thanks"

"I was raised in North Carolina and these were the only hot dogs we ever ate! I moved out of state and stopped eating hot dogs completely because there were disgusting options only available. I finally ordered online and had Bright leaf hot dogs, Red Hots and chili shipped. FINALLY a hot dog worth eating! I will be ordering these online regularly from now on. Feels like home, reminds me of good times and so very tasty! Thank you!"
