what is it about putting a piece of food (hot dog, candy bar, apple...) on a stick that makes it so much better... and so much more expensive?
discuss.

3 reasons:
1. Labor. Someone has to put the food on thew stick.
2. Food on a stick is usually deep fried. So you're looking at cooking oil and heating the cooking oil.
3. Anything deep fried and put on a stick is way more delicious than the original, so you've got to pay a premium for that as well.

4. Caramel.
5. Nuts.
6. Chocolate.
(speaking of apples, not hotdogs)

I believe they charge more because its more of a novelty, but mainly just because they can.
Apples, hot dogs whatever.
Remember the high cost of wood.
I had a deep fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich (on a stick) at the fair on the weekend. Ya! It was $5.50! WTF? It wasn't that good either.
Maybe it's the portability factor that really skews the usual supply & demand ratio for snack foods? You know: if you want to be able to eat this hot dog Anytime, Anywhere, you're going to have to PAY dearly for that luxury. And oh, what a luxury it is!
And, as previously mentioned, remember the cost of wood.
