These small appetizers are normally prepared with the party-size wieners that are sold in Colombia (like U.S. "cocktail franks," not canned "Vienna sausage"). They can be prepared with regular hot dogs; just cut them in half before crisscrossing the ends. This is a typical Caribbean coast dish; we like to mix sweet and sour in many of our dishes.
If using full-size hot dogs, peel and cut wieners in half. Crisscross cut the ends of the cocktail franks or the hot dog halves.
In a medium, heavy pot or caldero*, place the wieners and the Coca-Cola. Boil over medium-high heat for about 30 to 45 minutes, until the Coke has reduced to a dark caramel, and the wieners have opened up at the ends.
Serve.
