Oscar Mauer, a manufacturer of hot dogs and other MEAT products, is selling on eBay a package of Hot Doge Wieners Viennese sausages with the logo of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency (Dogecoin), which flaunts the image of a cute Doge dog from a popular Internet meme.
Different types of cryptocurrencies have their fans on the Internet. One such community is the Dogecoin community. One of the core tenets of the Dogecoin community is Doge's proposed deciphering as Do Only Good Everyday, designed to encourage positive and good action to promote the cryptocurrency. This could mean delivering food to local animal shelters, participating in water programs in Africa, or creating memes. Oscar Mauer's latest promotion capitalizes on this focus on goodness by offering a package of "Hot Doge" sausages.
Only one pack of Hot Doges is up for auction on eBay, with proceeds from Feeding America, a non-profit organization that operates more than 200 local food banks across the country. The initial response was such that the brand was forced to close the original auction and start trading again, doubling the amount of dogecoins from the original 10,000.
