UK versus USA canned hot dog electrocution challenge. (mastication alert)

In one corner we have the gaunt malnourished British-style hotdogs and in the other we have the more robust American style hotdogs. But in a head to head battle of who can pass the most current while being electrocuted - who will win?
Trehalose appears to be a sugar with unusual properties like moisture retention and bonding.

Results below:-



The competing hot dogs were pitted against 240V in teams of six with points awarded for current passed and peak power. Other points were awarded for style.

The UK themed hotdogs passed a peak of 13A (2.99kW) before they started exploding really forcibly at 24 seconds.

The USA themed hot dogs passed a huge 17.57A (3.995kW) before they started arcing and popping at 22 seconds.

The winner is America. But the British hot dogs get a special mention for actually exploding with unreasonable force at the end.
