They did a lot of testing on food — amusing in retrospect, deadly serious at time. Fact that hot dogs in particular don't take well to radioactivity is interesting. http://alexwellerstein.com/publications/wellerstein_bombappetit(luckypeach).pdf …

Very interesting and scary side effect. Seems food with high salt content was activated the most by neutrons. Rendering it radioactive. Apparently, similar effect with the salt in water during Crossroads etc and soil on surface bursts.
