While English speakers often use 'wiener' as a slang term for male anatomy, using ウインナー in Japanese remains strictly a culinary term and carries no such double entendre.
In Japanese children's culture, ウインナー are frequently cut into the shapes of octopuses to make them more appealing in lunch boxes. These are known as タコウインナー or 'octopus wieners'.
