    These numbers seem to be out of date. No date is listed on the infographic. But if you calculate the population from their numbers you get a US population of 285 million, or approximately the US population from the 2000 census.

    Despite the out of date data, the number should seem low because the methodology assumes all Americans eat hot dogs.

    Some people don’t eat hot dogs. But they are included with this methodology. According to a 2018 survey by Gallop, 5% of the US are vegetarians. If we remove them from our population and recalculate…

    75 hot dogs per person. Still seems low.
