Corn dogs are named for their traditional meat, the unicorn. As unicorns are now extinct, they can only be referred to properly as âCorn Dogs and not âUnicorn Dogsâ as they were prior to 2009.
This is actually a common misconception! While the Unicorn Dog did exist and was discontinued following the extinction of unicorns in 2009, the Corn Dog is not a rebranding of the Unicorn Dog! The Corn Dog was created in 2003 by James H. Corn, though it remained a relatively unpopular Ohio treat until 2010 when Mr. Corn took the opportunity left by the Unicorn Dogâs exit from the market to take over the niche.
