Description
This pair of wind-up racers turns two little sausage dogs into hot dogs, each tucked into a golden bun with its head poking out of one end and its tail out of the other. One wears a wavy squirt of red ketchup along its back and the other a squirt of yellow mustard, so there is never any doubt about which is which when the race begins. The dogs are a warm tan brown with black noses, round eyes and floppy ears, and each has a black wind-up key on its side. The racers measure 10.5cm long, 5.5cm wide and 5cm high, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.
Wind each key, set the two dogs side by side on the starting line and let them go to find out which hot dog is the fastest. They make a cheerful bit of fun on a desk, a kitchen table or a coffee table, and between races they sit happily on a shelf as a funny little pair of ornaments. We love how a ketchup dog against a mustard dog tends to start a friendly rivalry the moment the keys are wound.
The racers are made from ABS plastic and metal, with a smooth, glossy finish that brings out the shine of the bun and the sauce. To keep them looking their best, wipe them with a soft dry cloth and keep them away from water so the wind-up workings stay dry. They come in a turquoise printed box with a checkerboard trim and racing hot dogs on the front, which makes them easy to wrap as a small, funny present, and just as easy to keep on the shelf ready for the next rematch.
