Default Can I eat these hot dogs?

(I know this belongs in cooking, but this gets more traffic and I want to know if I can serve these for dinner tonight!)

I had an unopened pack of Coleman hot dogs in the freezer. (not from too long ago). I pulled them out and put in the fridge to thaw on Sat. Dinner plans changed and we did not eat them. They are still in the sealed package, but have been in the fridge since Sat (today is Thurs). Can we eat them for dinner tonight or do I need to toss?

Sorry if it is a stupid question!

I think they would be fine. I would serve them.

I know they are cooked but I wouldn't eat them.

I would definitely, without hesitation.
Usually, they are good for quite awhile after you buy them, so I think you'd still be in the safe zone if you add the original fridge time to the thawed fridge time, does that make sense?
If they were about to expire when you froze them (sometimes I do that last minute) than I'd say toss them.

I don't think hot dogs ever go bad. Seriously. I've eaten hot dogs way older than that.....

Thanks! I froze them the day I bought them - they were part of one of those Costco three packs. Actually, they haven't even reached the original expiration date, I just didn't know if freezing and then thawing mattered. (can you tell I am not the best in the kitchen ) eta: original exp is next week, not months away or anything

Thanks!

In that case, most definitely serve them!
