(Video) He Said,She Said 2014 Kia Sorento Review

May 8, 2013 by Eddy 1 Comment

Image courtesy of Kia Disclosure: We received a loaner 2014 Kia Sorento for one week for review purposes as always our post is our unbiased opinions on the car. The first time I learned about the Kia brand, one of the guys in my high school football team came driving down to practice in a brand new Sportage. It was the pinnacle of awesome! I still can remember that it was gold similar to the color of Champagne. Fast forward 14 years, and here I am sitting in a brand new 2014 Kia Sorento, fully decked out and top of the line. Kia has come a long way since that time, from an unknown, budget brand, localized to first time car buyers to taking that next step along with the Toyota’s and Nissan’s of the world. When I stepped into the Kia Sorento the first thing I said to myself was WOW. As I mentioned in the first impression video I was really knocked out by the great interior. Obviously, the Sorento I tried out happened to be a fully equipped with all … [Read more...]

(Video) Corazon De Campeon on its way to the World Cup with AT&T

April 23, 2013 by Eddy 4 Comments

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post by AT&T and we received compensation. Growing up in the U.S. with parents from Puerto Rico, soccer wasn't the biggest thing going on in my household. Like most Americans, I grew up playing youth soccer but eventually it gave way to other more popular American sports like basketball and football. It took me over 20 years to return to the beautiful game, and it seems like the sport has finally started to gain a foothold in the starts, that is in no small part to the growing population of Hispanics in the U.S. as well as the popularity of Major League Soccer and the U.S.’s relative success at the World Cup. The World Cup has become such an event, in the past couple of years. I can remember the moment it finally hit in the U.S. After all these years, it wasn't the game or the fact that the whole world was watching, rather it was the “ole’, ole’, ole’” of Ricky Martin that finally broke through. Since then, the signature … [Read more...]

(Video) Aveeno Active Natural Hair Products

March 26, 2013 by Eddy 95 Comments

Update! This giveaway is closed congrats to Rosanne. Disclaimer: We received the Aveeno prize pack which includes the Aveeno Active Natural Hair Product line to review. The Giveaway is sponsored by Aveeno. As you can see from our photos in the Dancing Hotdogs website, I have beautiful locks of mahogany colored hair. I try to keep it short or I would honestly not be able to walk anywhere without being mobbed, it just wouldn’t be fair to Divina and the boys. With that said, having short hair doesn’t mean I don’t care about it. Guys usually get a bad rap about our hair either we care too little or too much, and in both case we tend to put in too much chemicals from gel to shampoo; no wonder they call it “MALE” pattern baldness. Fortunately, there are a couple of products that get the job done but take advantage of natural ingredients, like Aveeno Active Naturals Shampoos and conditioners. The Active Natural line provides clean hair along … [Read more...]

(Video) Dublin Ireland- Jameson Distillery and Guinness Storehouse Tours

March 24, 2013 by Eddy 2 Comments

Jameson Distillery Dublin, Ireland First thing first, tours fill up fast so it is smart planning ahead. At the Old Jameson distillery (the distiller is no longer produces alcohol, it is only used for tours. The actual whisky is produced in Cork and has its own tour) the tours are separated in three time blocks that rotate throughout the day operating every 25 minutes and the last tour is at 5:15pm, lines to get into the distiller can get pretty long and extend out the doors, therefore it is best to either get tickets ahead of time or purchase tickets for the latest of the three tours and grab a coffee or beer at a nearby bar. The tour itself consists of a movie and then a guided tour of the distillery. The movie while brimming with a good amount of dry humor and is of surprising high production quality though in my opinion it isn’t the most exciting experience. Once completed, your tour guide picks you up and will begin the walking part of the tour. As … [Read more...]

(Video) Rise of the Guardians DVD/Blu-Ray Combo Review

March 11, 2013 by Eddy 2 Comments

i The Rise of The Guardians comes out on Blu-Ray and DVD on March 12, 2013. The Dancing Hotdogs had a wonderful movie night at home to check out the film and have one of our patented family movie nights. What’s better than watching a fun movie eating some popcorn and other snacks with the entire on the couch together? D and I have to take advantage of this time while we can, before the boys become too embarrassed to hang out with us. The Rise of the Guardians was created by the same team that gave us the hit DreamWorks film: How to Train Your Dragon. Based on a novel by William Joyce, The Rise of the Guardians uses some of our favorite holiday characters such as Santa (Alec Baldwin) the Tooth Fairy (Isa Fischer) and the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), who act as guardians for the world’s children against the evil of the bogeyman. Amidst this battle we are treated to the heartfelt adventure centering on the mischievous and ultimately lonely Jack Frost (Chris Pine) who … [Read more...]

Noche Latino with Kia at Madison Square Garden #KiaNocheLatina

March 8, 2013 by Divina Rodriguez Leave a Comment

Divina and Eddy Dancing Hotdogs #KiaNocheLatina

Last night, D and I were invited to our first professional Basketball game at Madison Square Garden. As part of the NBA’s League wide Noche Latino, long time NBA and New York Knicks sponsor invited us to celebrate the occasion with them at the game as well as to give notice that Kia was now one of the main sponsors of the famous Madison Square Garden. At the game, D and I were able to learn about Kia’s strategy to engage the Hispanic market. As one of the fast growing populations in the U.S. as well as a every increasing influence in commerce due to our purchasing power, Hispanics have become a highly desirable group for brands and marketers. This was even more evident during the NBA’s Noche Latino, which is the NBA’s way of celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. I can’t wait to see how Kia and the NBA continue to focus on Latino. Check out video recap of the game. Disclosure: We were guests of Kia during NBA's Noche Latino at Madison Square Garden. … [Read more...]

(Video) Hot Wheels Stunt Charger Toy Review

February 27, 2013 by Eddy Leave a Comment

The day and age of having to ratchet back your toy cars to get them to speed off are long over. I still remember having my Grandfather buy me one at the corner store in Puerto Rico. I was so excited to put the car on the ground and pull back, hearing that familiar clicking sound and then letting go. I couldn’t imagine anything going faster than that little car back then. Nowadays things have change. Technology is king, and as results those little cars of the past have been supped up to a point that I doubt my younger self would be able to handle it. All you need as evidence is just to take a look at one of the Hot Wheel Stunt Chargers. Just place them on their dock and charge them up. Once you place them on the floor, watch out! Because they are incredibly fast and don’t worry about obstacles as the Stunt Chargers are specially designed to rebound, flip and dash all over the place. As you can see on this video the boys had a great time with the Hot Wheels Stunt … [Read more...]

February 12, 2013 by Eddy Leave a Comment

Activision Publishing, Inc. CEO Eric Hirshberg sharing the big news. Image courtesy of Skylanders Last week, I got the opportunity to check out the premier of the newest edition of the hit video game series: Skylander SWAP force. Held at the NASDAQ center in New York City, the event was part of Activision’s and Toys R US’s effort to celebrate the success of the Skylander brand and the premier of the SWAP force line of toys and game. As a part of this event, the NYC Toys R Us store was giving away a new Skylander’s Giants character: Ninjini. The biggest new feature for the game is the ability to customize the unique powers of the SWAP force figures. Check out the official trailer. This “swap-ability” is accomplished through the ability to split the characters in two, allowing the player to switch the halves between various characters. With 16 different characters, there are over 250 different combinations possible. When the new combo is placed on … [Read more...]

“I M” M&M Campaign Shirt Sweepstakes

January 27, 2013 by Eddy 35 Comments

Sweepstakes Closed: Congrats to all the winners! As parents we try to make sure our sons are proud of who they are and where they come from. Part of this is ensuring that they learn to speak Spanish as well as observe many of the holidays that Latinos' celebrate such as Three King’s Day. This last summer M&M’s kicked off a campaign to celebrate Hispanic uniqueness and culture with their “I M” campaign. This is great as each M&M color character has their own different personalities and traits and it is important to me to show my boys that part of life is enjoying the various things that make us different. As part of this M&M has given out shirts to various people and celebrities that state a unique adjective that describes them. Since I am a big music fan I have selected “I M Rockero”. In order to do our part, and to celebrate the uniqueness of our own readers, we are giving away 5 shirts! Two with “I M Futbolero” meaning I am a soccer player … [Read more...]
