Sabrett's? Don't you need that nasty red onion goop*, then? Not that  
those other things sound bad, of course...

Of course, I wouldn't pollute Schaller und Weber wieners with red  
onion goop, but

I've often suspected that the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man in  
"Ghostbusters" must have been inspired by the idea of Pop-n'-Fresh as  
King Kong (or Gojira, if you prefer)... and you and I both know  
Vernier is perfectly capable of such a thing.

Adamantius

*NB: the nasty red onion goop is a New York staple for hot dogs sold  
from streetcorner pushcarts -- it is basically an onion chutney of  
thin consistency, served hot, containing cooked, shredded onions,  
some kind of sugar, vinegar, spices and either a tomato product or  
paprika, depending on who you talk to, to make it sort of orangey-red.
