A $1 hotdog party escalated on Tuesday when Philadelphia Phillies fans threw the infamous hot dogs at each other’s heads.
This is the story of a promotion gone wrong.
When the Miami Marlins beat the Phillies 8-4 at home, fans of the latter team started attacking each other throwing trash.
The stands of Citizens Bank Park thus became the scene of a gigantic hot dog fight.
The infamous $1 hotdog promotion has lent its hand to make things worse.
It is that a little earlier, endless lines of supporters massed in order to obtain hotdogs.
“I’ve never seen so many people in line for a hotdog before…” remarked one Twitter user.
The tally of hotdogs sold was also underway, with Phillies Nation reporting that as of 9 p.m. Tuesday, more than 58,000 hotdogs had been purchased, reports the New York Post.
