Okay, y’all! In order to write my future post, I need all of your help — yes, even people that normally don’t comment, I’d love your feedback here, if it’s not too much trouble. If you don’t want to, that’s fine too! I just think that the more people respond, the better this is going to get. That’s all. Also, I suppose I could go to Survey Monkey with my question — I’ve never used them before and I don’t know the first thing about doing that but all depending on the response here — I might look into that. So here is the one question I have — and this is important, y’all —
DO YOU CALL THAT LOVELY BATTERED WIENER THAT IS DEEP FRIED AND A STAPLE AT ALL STATE FAIRS AND CARNIVALS AND SOME FAST FOOD JOINTS A CORNY DOG OR A CORN DOG? IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE MY DAY, TELL ME WHY YOU CALL IT ONE THING OVER THE OTHER! Okay, that’s it!
The polls are now open. Please respond in the comment section below!
Thanks, bunches, y’all!

I call them corn dogs. So does JoJo. I can’t speak for the missus–but I think it’s more likely to be called “corny dog” in Texas since that’s what they were called at the Texas State Fair back in the day. But I’m not from Texas, so…also, they resemble an ear of corn, so CORN dog. Additionally, I feel like I’m 3 years old if I say “CORNY dog”.
Corn dog, just because that’s what we called it as kids!
Corn dog. I’ve never even heard the term “corny dog” before. They’ve always just been corn dogs. I have PMS hormones coursing through my veins so honestly knowing there are people who call them “corny dogs” alarms me a little bit??? I should probably take a nap.
Also, now I definitely want a corn dog.
Corn dog…never heard em called anything else…
So it’s a sausage with batter? Sounds nice
Add a little mustard to it and it’s delicious!
Corn dog. Love em!
Corn dog! What is this corny dog nonsense? I’ve never heard it, as far as I remember, in my part of Missouri.
Corn dog ….. Corny dog …..hot dog with corn meal batter fried around it ….frankfurter dipped in cornmeal batter!!!!!! Who Cares!!!!! Why don’t you write about something really stupid 🙄🙄🙄😍
Wow. I’m so glad you’re able to tell me how you REALLY feel, JAN! LOL!
Mona
Lol. I must have been on a mood. Ha ha. This makes me hungry.
That’s okay. Moods happen. I appreciate your comments. M 🙂
Mainer checking in.
Corn dog… always. Absolutely.
They may be corny, but …. no.
I’ve always said corn dog, but I looked up corny and found interesting definitions and early sources of use. As always you bring up interesting points,
Anita,
Very cool. If you’d like, I’d love to hear what those interesting points are. You can put them in the comment section if you’d like to contribute this this dialogue. 🙂
Do some people call it a corny dog? I really want to call it a corny dog now 😂👌🏻
Katie, Yay! Please come on over to side “Corny Dog.” I adore you just for saying that! Just don’t expect to get any love from those who don’t. However, at the end of September through most of October, Fletcher’s Corny Dogs at the Texas State Fair in Dallas, Texas, will be in full swing. So if you can make it, come by and we’ll go eat corny dogs at the State Fair. And drink beer. And see all the exhibits and watch the pig races, and go to the petting zoo and eat everything fried and guaranteed to be bad for you and it will be a blast! If you want to ride rides, I’ll stand on the ground and take pictures of you! We’ll do that before we eat corny dogs to be on the safe side!

Hands down it is “Corny Dog”. It doesn’t say Fletcher’s Corn Dogs. It says Fletcher’s CORNY Dogs. The company’s founders Carl and Neil Fletcher lay the claim of creating them, having introduced their “ Corny Dogs” at the Texas State Fair sometime between 1938 and 1942. The end. No more debates please. If it’s not Fletcher’s, then it’s just a plain old corn dog.
Marty,
Thank you. Mona
It might be corny dog in Dallas, but here in Texas, (and yes I don’t really consider Dallas “Texas” too far north in to Yankee land) and everywhere else except this website I have ever heard, It is a corn dog. This is the first mention in over 50 years of corny dog. So I don’t believe it extends outside of the fairgrounds. Corn dog. Even Koreans call it a corn dog.
Thanks for your perspective, Stuntgoat. You are now on record regarding this debate and I appreciate your stopping by! Even so, it may be a corn dog to you, but it will forever be a corny dog to me! 🙂 Mona
Howdy,
Corny Dog. I’m originally from Dallas.
Hey Larry,
Thanks for your input! Are you not still in the Dallas area? Hope you set the record straight about corny dogs wherever you are! Mona
