I'm Cristen Conger from Stuff Mom Never Told You here

to tell you about where the word "hamburger" came from.

There was a little guy named Hans hanging out one day

and he had some meat in the fridge and some spices.

a hamburger, or a Hansburger, as he liked to call it.

But I like to think of a man on a mountain eating a hamburger

Because not only is Germany the home of hamburgers,

Because hot dogs were invented in Frankfurt,

But instead of old Hans on the side of his mountain making
