      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.

      I hate mustard and most of the things they put on hot dogs. Give me chili, cheese, and ketchup in any combination, onions sure but only if they're part of the chili.
