a wee predating of hotdog - if true - to circa 1870 (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Baker, John]

        Shockingly, the story of the 140-year-old hot dog has turned out
to be a hoax,

        Note that the linked video alleges the preservation of a hot dog
from 1870, not that the term was used then.

        "Toyoda" is the normal spelling of the surname of Akio Toyoda,
the CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation.  I'm not sure why the spellings of
the corporate name and the family name diverge.

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

The linked video is immediately followed by one entitled "Japan reacts
to Toyoda hearings" -- never seen it spelled that way before.

The hot dog video should have been released on 1 April.
