If you put ketchup on your hot dogs yesterday, the president of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council would like a word . . .
Yes, it's a real thing, and he's a real guy. His name is Eric Mittenthal. In an interview for the Fourth, he told "Fox News" that no one over the age of 18 should be putting ketchup on hot dogs.
Quote, "If you can vote, it's time for your taste buds to vote for a hot dog without ketchup." He said "the sweetness is just not the ideal match," and suggested mustard, onions, and sauerkraut instead.
This isn't the first time he's taken a stance. Back in 2021, he said "any hot dog is delicious except for [hot dogs] with ketchup."
If you disagree, you're not alone. A poll for the Fourth asked people what's better on a dog, ketchup or mustard. 33% said mustard . . . 25% said ketchup . . . and 32% like both equally.

That whole "throwing things onstage during a concert" fad isn't gonna fly at an Adele show.
During one of her recent residency gigs in Las Vegas, she told the crowd, quote, "Have you noticed how people are like, forgetting [effing] show etiquette at the moment? People just throwing [stuff] on stage, have you seen them?"
She added, quote, "I [effing] dare you. Dare you to throw something at me and I'll [effing] kill you."
The irony was that she said this while holding a T-shirt gun . . . which she then proceeded to fire into the audience. Obviously, she got a big laugh out of that.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - One of the most popular candy bars in the Soviet Union was called Hematogen . . . and one of the ingredients was cow's blood. It still exists today, but it's now considered a medical product to help with nutrients and treat malnutrition.
