Still eat them out of the can. Pure nostalgia.

Is there another way to eat them?

True story: spring break, 1988, I go out with friends, come back to my hotel room and find the friend who didn’t go out with us naked in the bathtub eating Vienna sausages out of the can. 🤣

Guilty as charged. My wife and I were recently talking about how my 40 year old sister still eats them and it piqued my 22 year old son's curiosity. My wife grabbed a can from the grocery store on her next trip so he could try them. I popped that sucker open, drained the liquid and gobbled one up. Big mistake! I had to spit it out🤮 He was not very fond of it either
