Mariners' Hot Dog Prank: Fans Fooled on April Fools

0:00It's April 3rd. Welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI and ready for first pitch. Mariners fans got hit with the ultimate April Fools prank during their series finale lost to the Yankees. Right before the top of the six thinning, the team announced they were swapping out their famous parachuting hot dogs for carrots from the clouds. All. Because of a supposed new FDA rule, banning the dogs as too unhealthy for kids under 15. This stunt came from the public address announcer, who played as straight like it was real legislation, forcing the change to healthier snacks. The hot dogs dropping from the upper deck have been a huge hit at T-Mobile Park for the past two years, turning games into a skydiving food fest. Fans were probably freaking out, imagining no more glizzies raining down during home stands. That tradition started after tons of testing to make sure those Franks could parachute safely without splatting everywhere. Turns out it was all a joke, and right after April 1st, the Mariners confirmed they're sticking with the hot dogs from heaven moving
