The human mouth, which maintains a near-boiling temperature, needs to be constantly cooled by liquid-nitrogen pills or a jaw-mounted mouth fan. Take a more delicious route to cooling your maw with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of hot dogs and frozen treats at Big D's Ice Cream Shoppe & Cafe, located in the Kroger shopping center in White House.

Big D's scoops more than 40 varieties of superpremium ice cream, gussies up Nathan's Famous all-beef hot dogs, and dishes out neighborhood hospitality to hungry hoards. Guests to this friendly, family-owned eatery can cool tempers and temperamental taste buds by ascending on cones piled high with chocolate, turtle, and amaretto-cherry scoops ($2.65/single). Or, enjoy the semisolid sweets in their most sippable state with an old-fashioned shake or malt ($4.55–$5.75). A treasure trove of toppings—including white-chocolate syrup, Butterfinger bits, and freshly chopped Oreos ($0.55/each)—await to adorn customizable sundaes ($3.50–$5.50), and a classic banana split ($5.95) can be shared among friends or repurposed as an extremely perishable viking hat.

On the hot-eats end of the cuisine spectrum, a sausage-centric menu invites patrons to choose between 10 tastefully topped all-beef franks, such as the salsa, guacamole, and mozzarella-laden fiesta dog ($3.95) or a traditional chicago dog topped with mustard, relish, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and the tears of broken-hearted Cubs fans. Creative link-lovers can also opt to create their own link, choosing from a list of diverse toppings that includes everything from banana peppers, hot sauce, and sweet relish to grape jelly, peanut butter, and Fritos.
