A Hot Rod is a Canadian dry sausage snack food made by Schneider Foods. They are sold in many convenience stores, and concession stands throughout the country. Hot rods have a salty, slightly spicy, beef flavour, and are similar to the American "Slim Jim" brand snack.
They are available in Original, Barbecue and Pepperoni flavors, in 8 and 19 g sizes.
A chicken flavour was made in 2005, but was later discontinued.
