From college dorms to workplaces to family gatherings and on social media, food debates provoke strong passions. This is especially true for debates about hot dogs and sausages as the “Is a hot dog a sandwich” and “Should you put ketchup on hot dogs” questions have divided friends, family and even some cities for years. Now, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (NHDSC) is looking to settle these debates once and for all. Throughout March the NHDSC will encourage hot dog and sausage fans to weigh in and settle its policies on 20 different divisive topics.
“At the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, we get calls and emails every single day from people looking for us to settle their hot dog debates, and as experts we are always happy to oblige, but we live in a democracy, and it is time to let the hot dog and sausage loving masses speak,” said NHDSC President Eric Mittenthal.
