Phillies selling 9 bite-sized hot dogs and 9 tiny beers to help fans complete 9-9-9 challengeBy Canadian Press on October 3, 2025. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies want to fuel their fans on a postseason run with a bit of gluttony through a small-scale twist on the popular 9-9-9 challenge. The Phillies are selling nine bite-sized hot dogs paired with nine tiny beers — each not much more than a shot glass’ worth — in a one-stop box complete with a scorecard to keep track of the total. The 9-9-9 challenge has gone viral as baseball fans try to drink nine regular beers and eat nine standard hot dogs during a game. At the baseball home of cheesesteaks and crab fries, the tots come like the heart of the Phillies’ order: loaded.
