Is a hot dog a sandwich?

[Aerrigo]

What are some phrases or statements you've heard that have made you stop and think, either by irritation, curiosity or both? I'll give another one, in addition to this title, for a further example:

 

"Why do we park on the driveway but drive on the parkway?"

[X5-452]

This phrase I had to read up a few times:

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

 

Also no to the topic title. Why is a wiener called a dog anyway, unless a wiener dog... hmm?

[UnrealDream]

a hot dog is a taco don't @ me

 

and because Americans are weird on the driveway and park way

 

but rightn ow my mind is blank on other examples

Why can’t a hotdog just be a hotdog?

Hotdog w/o bun = hotdog

Hotdog w/ bun = sandwich

 

Also, isn't a poptart a calzone?

Maybe if a Poptart was made with Red Tomato sauce it could be a calzone. 
 

the real question we should be asking about food is this:

 

why does the government recognize Pizza as a vegetable?

I cannot eat hot dogs anymore after I saw how they were made unfortunately
