From Delish Ahead of National Sandwich Day, Oscar Mayer decided to settle a very important debate that's been around for quite some time: they declared hot dogs official members of the sandwich family. That is, they believe hot dogs are sandwiches. Just for funsies (and advertising purposes, but we'll get to that later), they also dropped an official Oscar Mayer "Is a Hot Dog A Sandwich?" hotline this morning, which you can reach at 1-833-SNDWICH. The hotline is toll-free and asks you to give any and all thoughts-whether you agree with the company on their stance or not-on the subject. When you call the hotline (oh yes. I called it.), you hear the Oscar Mayer jingle, which is so cute and fun. Then you're told to go ahead and leave your opinion after the beat...and that by doing so you're consenting to the company using your message in any way they'd like, though they specifically site Twitter as a place they may use it. You can remain anonymous while leaving your message. The hotline will only live for 24 hours, so if you feel strongly about any of the above, go ahead and let them have it. This also feels like a good time to mention that anyone who believes a hot dog is a sandwich has also likely committed the most egregious of crimes: putting ketchup on their hot dogs. Ugh. For shame.

I'm shocked and deeply saddened., disturbed, beside myself, taken aback, re-traumatized. This is dangerous and concerning and violates our norms and traditions. It's polarizing and tearing the country apart. BOMBSHELL TICK TOCK BREAKING. The MOMENT a hotdog becomes a sandwich. etc.
Anything placed between two slices of bread so that it can be eaten as a finger food is a sandwich. Dispensing with knife, fork and plate is the whole point. Everybody knows this. Just as everybody knows that ketchup and salsa are vegetables.
A hot dog is a poor man’s steak.....
Best hot dogs I ever had were off a push cart, with Cole slaw and ketchup.
Mustard, Ketchup, AND onions...
“No debate. Its settled science. Ketchup is gross on a hotdog.”
I can prove it’s wrong to put ketchup on a hotdog or mustard on a hamburger. My son in law does both.
Oh my goodness!
“Burgers” ands “Hot Dogs”. Each occupy it’s own special place in our preferred food choices..
A sammich is a whole nother thang.
Lets keep it that way and celebrate and enjoy the difference.
Don’t erode our language by grouping the identity of individual things into one broad category.
I think it’s nice and enjoyable to have something real and important to be concerned about after all the never ending, political bull scat we have had to endure from the left.
LOL...a hot dog is a bunch of ground up meat inside a casing. A hot dog ON A BUN is a sandwich.
Oscar Meyer hot dogs are not even used in my house as a hot dog or a sandwich. They are cut up into slices and put into a can of Bush’s baked beans, warmed and served. The kids love them.
OK. I’ll bite: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wiener++commercial&t=h_&ia=videos&iax=videos&iai=6igElOW4hUA
Hotdogs where I grew up and live usually come with mustard, Cole slaw or BBQ slaw, chili, and onions, or some variation of those toppings. Ketchup is optional but not unusual. My husband grew up in the same general area but subs mayo for the mustard.
Probably my favorite way is with spicy mustard, Sauer kraut, chili, and onions but chili and cheese is good too.

It does not make any difference “what” you put on it, it’s still a Hot Dog, not a sammich!
Hot dogs without ketchup are like apple pie without ice cream. Sure, you CAN eat them that way, but why would you want to?
And mustard is also a requirement. Relish, onions, cheese ... all are optional.
I do like them rare. Wiggly and noisy, not so much.
For sure. I don’t care what you call it. I’ve sliced it and fried it put it in between 2 slices of bread when there were no buns.
Missed them these last 2 months, getting lower dentures and can’t bite them! I’m so tired of just eating what you can swallow with out chewing. Maybe in a couple of weeks the plate will be ready, dentist took impressions Friday.
I thought the Earl of Sandwich used bread to hold meat so as to not soil the playing cards.
Perhaps I’ll google it.
Probably not.
Some people just need to be outraged!
