Is a hotdog a sandwich? Seriously!

[Brewer]

I came across a pickup yesterday that had a sticker in the back window saying, "hotdogs are sandwiches". At first I thought it was a political statement like "women are people" or something like that, but then I got to thinking about how I define a sandwich and it just blew up in my mind. For if you tend not to think of it as a sandwich because it has a hinged bun, you have a sub sandwich that does too.

So what do you this? What defines a sandwich?

A protein between two carbs.

Since hotdogs are meat, and sandwiches are named by the meat between or in bread, a hotdog in bread should be called a hotdog sandwich because like other meats they can be eaten without bread.

So, the window sticker is wrong.

I'm going with sandwich…but only when eaten with a bun. Otherwise, it's just a hotdog.
