If you have ever seen a Hot Dog on A Stick, the first thing that you'll note is the wacky uniforms that their employees wear. If you venture closer, you'll see that their menu is simple and true to their name, with corndogs, french fries and lemonade. The concept is clearly to provide fair favorites in non-fair locations, such as malls. A corndog is a corndog, but their cherry lemonade is maddeningly addictive. Unfortunately a 12-oz. size packs in 160 calories, and people tend to order the larger 24-oz. and 32-oz. (410 calories) sizes to wash down their salty snacks.
The company fairly recently introduced sugar free lemonade to their stores, but it's just not the same. After all, it doesn't deliver that cherry punch. If you want a low-calorie alternative to the cherry version, try the Minute Maid Light Cherry Limeade, which manages to deliver that cherry taste with only 10 calories in a 12-ounce serving. The difference between lime and lemon flavors, especially in drinks that have additional levels of flavor, is minimal. And the best part is that you can pick up a 12-pack at the market for much less than you would spend at the restaurant itself.
