One more thing to add to the "Negative" column for you Mr. President.

I side with the President here. Ketchup on a hot dog should be a felony for adults.




You know I think the world of you but you need to tap the brakes with this silliness.

I frequently put Duke's mayonnaise on mine with other stuff.

It's a regional thing.

"Hotdog" doesn't mean the same thing to Chicago people as it does in Louisiana or elsewhere. Getting a hotdog in Chicago is like getting a poboy here. Putting ketchup on a hotdog would be like a northerner talking about how they prefer to put dijon mustard on their Louisiana fried shrimp sandwiches.

ETA: And in Chicago or equivalent hotdog culture, ketchup is thought to be child-like because only the kids eat plain hotdogs with ketchup since they don't usually like sweet relish and peppers and tomato etc. on a hotdog. Again, it would be like kids in Louisiana that won't eat a poboy fully dressed because they don't like lettuce or mayonaise and just eat bread and shrimp with ketchup. Adults just shrug like "you know how kids are"

Much like wearing a jersey to a football game, putting ketchup on a hot dog is best left to kids.

Ketchup is probably a higher quality condiment than that mystery meat chili that goes on concession hot dogs.

Ketchup for me. Though I don't really eat hot dogs. When I do it's hotdog, mayo, mustard, ketchup, on a piece of bunny bread.

I can't ever figure out what to put on the Manda sausage dogs at LSU events. Usually go with mustard and hot sauce.

Eating hot dogs is childish to start with.

I don't agree with the president very often, but he's right here. If you put ketchup on your hotdog you're a fricking commie.

I've never understood why anyone woukd care about others opinions on what they like to eat.

I like a hamburger that's completely plain and i fricking hate cheese on one. I order a burger plain and almost invariably someone will say "how can you eat it plain?"

He's from Chicago and it's a widely accepted thing there...almost like a trivia question when you go on tours. He's just trying to be cool and stay true to his roots.

I always get a burger without a cheese and 9/10 they put cheese on it anyways.

Im a childish son of a bitch and it has nothing to do with the massive amount of ketchup I put on my hot dogs or on my steak.

“No,” the president quickly responded.

If Obama is an expert on anything, it's being childish.
