The "size" of 100 hot dogs is misleading. It is not a pile of 100 hot dogs to demonstrate the volume of the asteroid, but a line of 100 hot dogs to demonstrate the diameter, which is 16 meters. So in volume, this is a lot more than 100 hot dogs!

And here I was thinking that it was 100 hotdogs lined up end-to-end. What a deceptive headline!
