PRINCETON, NJ—According to research published in the scientific journal Ecology And Evolution, biologists at Princeton University discovered Friday that the modern-day corn dog descended from an ancient aquatic sausage. “It may seem shocking, but the corn dog we know today evolved from a primitive ancestor known as Botellus bratwurstus, which shared the seas with a variety of other ancient meat products,” said article co-author Dana Anderson, who explained the researchers were able to draw the connection between the two sausages after identifying pigs in a blanket as the long-sought-after missing link. “Living in such a competitive environment likely drove the ancient sausage to adapt to land, where resources like ketchups and mustards were far more abundant. We estimate B. bratwurstus crawled out of the ocean approximately 300 million years ago. Though the modern corn dog has since shed its casing and developed a thick, deep fried coat of batter, it still contains approximately 60% ground pork.” At press time, an excited Anderson added the researchers were close to identifying a universal common wiener that all meat products had descended from.\n

Hahaha!! Needed to read this today. Ancestry 😆🤣

Is it related to the fat innkeeper worm?

Science is fascinating!

Still a weenie

Climate change caused it to grow corn bread on its skin for protection from the coming ice age.

Those biologists & you, are looking too far. The inspiration for the modern corn dog is taken from our sausage. Our sausage ...

OrdinarySausage Take note, this could come in handy

Oscar Meyer Wiener

Never stop sciencing.

OrdinarySausage

Enjoyed by eldritch gods since time immemorial

A giant weenie crawls out of the ocean and forms a protective crust around it to protect from the elements. It would later evolve a long wooden stick out of its butt for structure.

LarryTheProto Aquatic Sausage? I've never heard of it before

The corndog was created! Stop spreading this sausage evolution myth!!

The true origins of The Old Ones.

Hmmm

So many people are going to be offended that they were eating seafood this whole time.

cmclymer so perfect.

im having trouble believing this

Aquatic sausage hypothesis

Nature gets me so hard

Hahahahaha this is so dumb

Bullshit. God abracadabra’d them on the seventh day when he wanted a snack.

chaiteaae That art is amazing for a shit-post

ColtonColtoff Woh!

Phallicus prepuscis maximus!

Lol!

It evolved one tasty ass coating. Just need to add mustard.

I thought corn dogs came from corn

Smile

So that's why they taste better with viscous salty red concoction.

auntbeast I thought corn dogs were from Transylvania. Some cook came up with it to impress Vlad the Impaler.

Who is your illustrator and can I get this framed?

Well, I guess all life came from the sea...

OrdinarySausage can you confirm?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm If this was Reddit; this would get thousands of upvotes.

Slow news day?

That dirty water dog!

Incredible. Makes you wonder what else may belong to the sausagus species out there.

Well, sure, if you go back far enough.

I knew it!!! The world wide anti ancient aquatic sausage conspiracy (AAASC) has attempted to keep this important evolutionary sausage fact from the American public. This is a fact! Do your own research! 🌭🔥💯😎

This species took a turn for the Wurst.

I do like my sausage wet.

Interesting thought it was dog bits

It’s not new. Flea markets store their cooked products under the ocean until needed. They learned early that no marine life will bother with it. You haven’t lived until you have tried flea market salt water corn dogs.

I'm not buying it. I distinctly remember something about the Bread-Eating Frankfurter in the Cretaceous Period.

Biologists or bologonists?

Sadly, the Ball Park franks were ostracized for plumping while under the influence

NighJamie

Sure, why not... You need to step up your game to surprise me after last 1 1/2 years. :D

OrdinarySausage what sort of arcane sausage monster have you unleashed?

‘Ancient Aquatic Sausage’ was my nickname at college.

Good joke guys. also, nice trilobite.

loñ

Calling BilldeBlasio!

Didn’t we all.

Called it.

omg

Broke:aquatic sausage Woke:UNDA THE GLIZ-SEA

OrdinarySausage im sorry if this bothers you if you even read this

Never stop what you do Onion. Keep the comedy comin. 👍🏻

I heard that Marjorie Taylor Greene read the account into the Congressional Record.

Hoecakezz

I'm horny

Now do Vienna sausages. This is fascinating.

C’mon Onion, this is the wurst.

derekhennen I thought they evolved from cattails

That’s bologna!

everyone considers themselves an expert these days Ask a mechanic first...!

A bit like the Aquatic Ape Theory.. 😏

Ancient Glizzy

It's fun to pretend I'm an illustrator recurving the brief for this image :-)

OrdinarySausage

Nah it must have evolved from these

no way

this needs to be investigated on, it could be the key to humanities evolution

🤣🤣

billengvall you wanna weigh in on this. Ancient feeding ground of MegalaDorkFish?

Reading without my glasses, thought sentence began: Bolognaists...

The egg came before the aquatic sausage

Looks tasty.

The modern day horn dog descended from the ancient horn puppy 🤣🤣

? I literally just ate corndogs yesterday. WELL this happened maybe once a year. Get out of my matrix or do better supporting me 😄

OscarNunezLA Dimitri told this by grandfather and n 70s.

How did you make a sausage cute

As you can see, that was the first time mankind used condoms. But since no one knew how, the women insisted it be closed at both ends for extra protection. Now you know why the Atlanteans perished!

Hence the term, 'salty dog'

Lol

The place was not called Atlantis, was it? i am guessing only vegetarians came from Atlantis. I wonder were the not too funny writers came from, any idea?

thetexanist State Fair trivia alert

Jalapeno corn dogs are the best step in sausage evolution.

I want this print for my house. omggggg!

Have to laugh even in these times.

Had watched this in the documentary 'Tree of Food' by David Eatingbro.

Aquaman’s best friend

I thought it's an eggplant.🤦‍♂️

Mmmmmmm.... ancient aquatic sausage...

Actually Jesus created corn dogs 4 thousand years ago

Nonsense, corn dogs were created as is 6,000 years ago alongside funnel cakes.

Yeah well that’s not in MY version of the Bible.

Checkmate, uh... checkmate someone.

Evolution is the wurst.

The missing links

I now have a name for my penis.

This is absolutely true. Trust me, I'm a biologist.

Bikini Bottom just a whole lot smaller...

I’m actually part sausage.

slow corn day?

The part at the top is what they use for sex.

The Onion has to go Clickhole levels of lunacy to make something sound ridiculous.

My uncle took a job at a sausage making company, when he was young. He quit after he saw how it’s made, & has been a vegetarian ever since.

evolution is beautiful

This week on the History Channel.

Who tied the end?

What about the deep state gozlemi?

Offal tweet.

The sea weiner

This art lowkey good tho
