Summer is all about hot dogs and ice cream. Oscar Meyer asks the question, “Why not both?”

Oscar Meyer then answered its own question this week with a ice cream/hot dog combo.

It is called the Ice Dog Sandwich.

What better way to beat the heat than an ice cream sandwich that tastes like a hot dog.

Oscar Meyer announced the summer mix on its Twitter account.

Oscar Meyer did not create an ice cream sandwich that tastes like a hot dog. This bologna maker created an ice cream sandwich that contains bits of hot dogs in it.

If a hot dog-flavored ice cream appeals to you, what would you say to a mustard-flavored ice cream?

French’s is offering a mustard ice cream for a limited time in limited areas.

New York and LA residents are being favored with the flavor of a summer mustard.

If you can’t make it to either coast in time to try this amalgamation, French’s has you covered.

For only a quarter cup of mustard, some common ingredients, and a bit of gastronomical bravery, you too can recreate the recipe.

One reviewer of this mustard ice cream called it creamy, sweet, and a delicious monstrosity.

Another reluctant taster called it “not that bad.”

We all know what is missing from this picnic of odd combinations: Hamburger ice cream!

Ice cream maker Breyers is ready for you.

Breyers wants you to enjoy this ice cream cake that looks like a hamburger in your own home.

The recipe and instructions for the hamburger ice cream is available here.

Bon appetite! Or not.
