I used to eat these all the time in college. Then one time I bought some and forgot about them in the fridge and they morphed into something seriously disgusting and I haven't really been able to eat them since.

I love these Tofu Pups! Problem is I can only find them in MN and I live in FL. Does anyone know any chain stores that carry them, like Fresh Market or Whole Foods? They are good but I admit that I have to load them up with ketchup and mustard! :)

I bought a pack of tofu dogs recently because I was not getting enough protein in my diet at lunch.... blech!! Great motivation to stay on top of packing yummy whole food lunches with grain and legume combos. They were torture!

Yuck, I hate tofu dogs. I rather eat the hot dogs, no matter have many more calories it has.

I hate tofu dogs, to me they taste nothing like a real hot dog (the 11 yrs I was veggie I gave up on faux-hot-dogs completely because all the alternatives were gross). I prefer to just eat a hot dog once and a while and be healthier in other places.
