One Yankees fan has gone viral for putting a hole in a hot dog and then using it as a straw to drink beer. The video was recorded during Monday’s night game against the New York Mets via TPS;
During Monday night’s game against the New York Mets, a fan was spotted using a straw to make a hole in his hot dog. He then dipped the hot dog into his beer to use it as a straw to drink that beer.
This sure is a different way to go about enjoying a hot dog as the Yankees clashed with the rival Mets.
The Yankees would go on to win that game.
I am shocked he hasn’t been IDed yet.
Regardless of whether or not it’s a performance art piece, one thing is for certain: Meat straws are already a thing. One Instagram commenter mentioned that the Brewers “serve bloody-marys with pepperoni sticks hollowed out as straws at their ballpark.” Plus, Benny’s Original Meat Straws and Demetri’s Pepperoni Straws are products that exist, both intended for consumption in a bloody mary, but no one will stop you if you bring a pack to your favorite stadium and stick it in a beer, just like this guy.
What’s more, our unnamed straw innovator is not the only baseball fan who thinks the combination of beer and hot dogs go together like peanut butter and jelly. @newyorknico posted a video of another man dipping his hot dog — bun and all — into his beer and then taking a bite. This classically American spin on birria tacos went over just about as well as our hot dog straw innovator with many people in the comments jokingly calling for the man’s arrest.
When left to their own devices, humans can create some pretty innovative things. From the prehistoric invention of the wheel to papyrus, the locomotive and the air fryer, we’re always coming up with new things to make our lives easier and more enjoyable. That’s why perhaps these men should be lauded for their hot dog straws and groundbreaking dips. History just may add them to the list of great inventors — you never know.
