Read:
Around 1850, the Germans were known for making sausages. A cook from the German city of Frankfurt, famous for the sausages he produced, decided to call the sandwich he made with them dachshund (in Portuguese, “sausage”) in honor of the breed of his dog.
The name was so successful that, in 1880, it reached the United States. Snacks were very common in football stadiums, and during a game in 1906, a vendor caught the attention of cartoonist, Ted Dorgan, for yelling “get your hot dachshund” (which means “get your dachshund hot"). The problem is that Ted wanted to illustrate the scene, but because he didn't understand the word dachshund, wrote "get your hot dogs” (“buy your hot dogs”, in Portuguese).
