This is one of 3 or 4 "still" images commissioned after the release of a 1974 "Bubbles" TV ad by Robert Abel & Richard Taylor with an extremely short time frame. More info on that process will be posted later. See this image at 0:47 into this 60 second "Bubbles" commercial:

Please visit my previous photo showing a billboard version of this same hotdog on the side of a building. It’s harvested a few seconds away from this particular frame.
