A Hot Dog Is A Sandwich and So Are You

Alright listen up, because we’re about to settle an age-old debate once and for all: is a hot dog a sandwich? Spoiler alert – yes. Yes, it absolutely is. And if you think otherwise? Well, let’s just say I’m gonna have some thoughts about that.

First off, let’s define our terms here. What even is a sandwich? According to Merriam-Webster (which is like the ultimate authority on these things), a sandwich is “two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between.” So basically anything with stuff inside bread counts as a sandwich. Unless you’re some kind of Boomer/hater with reading comprehension issues.

Now, let’s apply that definition to our beloved hot dog. You’ve got your bun (that’s the “split roll” part), and then you’ve got your sausage (the “filling”). See how that works? It fits the definition perfectly.

But wait – there’s more! Some people try to argue that hot dogs aren’t sandwiches because they’re served on a bun instead of regular bread. To those people I say: who cares?! Bread comes in all shapes and sizes, my friend. If we’re gonna get technical here, then wraps don’t count as sandwiches either – but trust me, they 100% do.

And let’s not forget about the cultural significance of this debate. Hot dogs are iconic – they’re a staple at ballgames, cookouts, and street corners all over America. They’ve been around since the late 1800s (give or take) and have become synonymous with American cuisine. To say that hot dogs aren’t sandwiches is like saying pizza isn’t pasta – it just doesn’t make sense!

Now I know what you’re thinking: “Zoomie, this is all well and good, but what does any of this have to do with me?” Well, let me tell ya something – if a hot dog is a sandwich (which it is), then you are also a sandwich. Think about it: you’ve got layers upon layers of stuff going on inside that body of yours. Muscles, organs, bones…it’s all just filling between your skin-bun.

So next time someone tries to tell you that hot dogs aren’t sandwiches (or that you’re not one either), remember this article and stand tall in the knowledge that you are correct. The world may be full of haters and naysayers, but we know the truth: hot dogs are sandwiches…and so are you.

And if anyone gives you grief about it? Just hit ’em with a classic “okay boomer” or “it’s [current year], get with the times.” Because let’s face it – nobody wants to be on the wrong side of history here. Hot dog sandwiches for the win! 🌭✨
