      i’m convinced this ketchup and hot dog hate is some ironic thing USians started dreaming up five years ago. what else can you put ketchup on but a hot dog? it’s like one of two possible uses for ketchup, besides dipping fries in.

      nooo don’t put the hot dog condiment on a hot dog that’s weeeeird smuglord

      I remember seeing discourse around Mustard being deemed the official hot dog condiment.

      I believe that could play into this. That said, as a ketchup hater I support their motion.

        In my mind the standard hotdog isn’t just one or the other, it’s both.

        Like if you asked me out of nowhere to draw a hotdog it would include both ketchup and mustard

        And I don’t say this as a defense, I hate ketchup and I’m not really a fan of hotdogs in general

          I recall seeing a lot of toys in my childhood with both condiments also.

          I also recall being asked “ketchup? Mustard?” when getting a hot dog at barbeques.

          I agree it’s the standard, but I’ll always playfully respond “are you sure you dont want Sriracha?” when asked for ketchup

            I mean if you asked me that I would definitely unironically say ‘sure’ and probably miss the whole point of the joke you were trying to make.
