Randomly over the last 9 years, my friend Shawn and I have argued about the same stupid thing a million times. Strangely enough it was the first conversation we ever had when we were like 14 and because it was so stupid it keeps coming back up. I havent talked to him in months and randomly he IMs me tonight and while trying to make a point about me

Hmmm...I'm gonna have to go with hot dog. When I was in Italy I was Italians eating pizza with knives and forks pretty frequently. Sausages in buns, on the other hand, seem to be engineered for eating sans utencils. ;)

Yeah, I'd have to say the hot dog is weirder. but I mainly say that because whenever I reheat pizza I cut it up in to smaller pieces or else the center is still cold while the edges are hot.
hot dogs tend to heat up more consistently.

it all kind of depends if there's a bun involved or how hot the pizza is. sometimes when pizza is really hot, I start by cutting it until it cools down enough for me to pick up the entire thing and start shoving it in my mouth. I have also been known to eat a hot dog without the bun, in which case I totally slice it up and eat it with a fork. really both are equally acceptable in certain circumstances.

totally depends on the situation

It is entirely acceptable to cut a pizza if: a) it is too hot to eat straight up as sarah mentiond; and/or b)it is too large and floppy (and probably too hot) to eat with hands without it falling all in a big pile on your plate

ok you may have a point.

I dont have a clue with the original conditions were in this conversation as i cant for the life of me remember why this conversation was even had...in physics class, my first week of high school, with a guy i had never met. Who knows.

I do remember that part of the issue was that he does not like buns. So when given a standard hot dog (in a bun) he has to go find a fork and knife so he can take it out and cut it. I also kind of bend your pizza rule in that I pretty much always cut my pizza. I think the only exception is if its a really small pizza or if there are no convenient utensils.

BUT I still think that i win. Because under most circumstances no one is ever going to look at my funny for cutting a pizza...where as he is going to get some looks for cutting the hot dog.

it's definitely absurd to cut a hot dog...you gotta hold it together with the bun and all...i hope you are a pizza cutter and not a hotdog cutter martha! -amelia
