Comment on What is the weirdest argument you’ve overheard?

  A hot dog is 100% a taco. The real debate is whether or not a hot dog/taco is a sandwich.

  To answer this, you first need to solve two other questions: First, what would you consider to be bread? Second, whether a sandwich requires two separate pieces of bread. Is a wrap a sandwich? Most would consider a tortilla to at least be a form of bread, but it’s only one piece. A gyro, made with flatbread? What if it’s one solid piece of bread that is totally sealed, like a hot pocket, calzone, or Asian dumpling? Is dumpling considered “bready” enough to count? Or do we not count it because it’s not leavened?

  And that brings us back to the taco argument. Do we consider a taco a sandwich? If we consider a wrap a sandwich, I would argue yes. Because the only functional difference between a taco and a wrap is how big the tortilla is. And if a taco is a sandwich, then a hot dog would also be considered a sandwich.

  There are some questions that make you think. Is a hot dog a sandwich? Does a toilet paper roll have 1 or 2 holes? Is a cereal bowl with milk a soup?

  Then there are some questions that kill your brain. Is a hot dog a taco? Wtf?
