That was one of my first electronics projects as a kid!  It taught me very quickly to respect electricity, but only after mom mom peeled me off the ceiling.  The instructions said to connect each side of an AC power cord to a fork, and then stick the forks on either side of a hotdog.  What the instructions probably also said, but I was too excited to take heed, was to plug in the AC cord *after* sticking the forks into the hotdog.
 
Mitch.
