National Hot Dog Day is on July 23, which naturally got us thinking of all the wondrous ways weiners are consumed around the world. The Seattle Dog is smothered in cream cheese, the Mexican Sonora dog is wrapped in bacon, and the Japanese octodog looks like an octopus, obviously.7月23日是（美国）全国热狗日了，我们很自然就会想到世界各地吃香肠的奇妙方法。西雅图热狗被包裹在奶油芝士中，墨西哥索诺拉热狗被包裹在培根中，而日本的八爪热狗看起来就像一条章鱼。
Wait, what?等等，你说像什么？

It's not uncommon in Japan to find a hot dog shaped like an octopus in your bento box. But if you want to make one yourself without leaving the country, it's ridiculously simple -- perhaps, even, a little questionable (it involves microwaving a sliced hot dog until its "tentacles" shrivel and curl under the heat). Every once in a while, there comes a time in your life when you've just got to throw shame to the wind and eat a microwaved cephalopod.在日本，便当里面有章鱼形状的热狗是十分常见的。但如果你不想千里迢迢去日本，又想自己做一个，那可真是小菜一碟，可能你都会怀疑是不是太简单了（只要把切开的热狗放到微波炉里加热直到它的“触须”收缩并卷起来）。你的人生中总会时不时地需要无视别人鄙夷的目光去吃条微波章鱼的。
Watch the video above and follow the simple steps to making an octodog. All it takes is a paring knife, a microwave, and a little magic to make this gloriously creepy creation.看看上面的视频，跟着简单的步骤做个八爪热狗吧。做这个可爱又可怕的东西你需要的仅仅是一把水果刀，一个微波炉，还有一点魔力。
