The Black Terra Hot-Dog costs ¥600 ($6) and is just one of the three delicious treats sold by Vegas Premium Hot-Dogs. According

actually uses edible bamboo charcoal powder, which is used as a food dye
throughout Asia. I know it looks bad, but apparently it doesn’t alter
the taste at all and it’s good for your health.
