How do you eat your hot dogs?

[Shadow19]

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you, the hot dog.

It is America's ('MERICA) favorite classic food, whether you're at a BBQ in your overly long cargo shorts trying to look cool, or at a good old ball game watching the Yankees try and get....wait, Yankees "fans" don't actually watch baseball.

Okay, whether you're at a BBQ in your overly long cargo shorts and Yankees cap trying to look cool, or at a good old ball game, the hot dog is a coveted snack.

When I was younger I saw a hot dog commercial with a family holding their hot dogs with the opening facing right side up. Apparently, this is the correct way to eat them, as demonstrated by this young lady below:

However, the way I've been raised, I eat them with the opening to the side, usually on the right. Basically like a sandwich.

As an individual with a passive mind, I am inclined to believe everything the media tells me is correct and I should immediately mirror what I see. This has got me wondering. Am I eating it incorrectly? Do I have a genetic mutation on one of my chromosomes causing me to eat with such ignorance? Could Edward Cullen ever love someone who holds their hot dog sideways?

I am curious to know the techniques you all use to eat your favorite blended up mesh of animal scraps, aka the hot dog.

I tried eating a hot dog upside down.... it didn't work so I tried right side up... It didn't work because this time it was I who was upside down... What I'm trying to say is I eat them with the opening to the side...

Red casing dog facing upwards with ketchup, hot mustard, mayo, crunchy sweet relish, caramelized onions & or chopped sweet/white onion, celery salt, and if I'm feeling lucky, some sauerkraut.
