    My original post had a poll. I actually saw results!

    What happened to it?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      “Do you think a hot dog is a sandwich?” I asked a friend the other day, in preparation for this article.

      “It’s not the most typical referent for ‘sandwich,’” he mused. “But if someone said, ‘We’re only having sandwiches at this event,’ I wouldn’t be surprised if I showed up and hot dogs were part of the food.”

      “Would you be surprised if they served slices of pizza folded in half?” I asked.

      “Yeah,” he admitted.

      “How are those different from hot dogs?”

      “I’ll get back to you,” he said.

      “A hot dog meets all the necessary and sufficient conditions to make a sandwich,” another friend insisted. “It’s a thing inside two pieces of bread. The shape of the bread doesn’t matter.”

      “But a hot dog doesn’t have two pieces of bread,” I said. “It’s one piece of bread that’s folded.”

      “Subway sandwiches aren’t always cut the whole way through,” he countered. “But you think those are sandwiches, right?”

      “I guess,” I said.

      And that's how the mathematical branch of topology was born.

                    I also noticed that polls sometimes disappear. They seem to reappear when you press "reload". I can't explain this behavior at the moment.

                              Is a grinder/sub/hoagie a sandwich? Is an Italian sausage in a hoagie roll a sausage? If you said yes, then how is a hot dog in a bun not a sandwich?

                                Is a pocketed pita filled with meat and vegetables a sandwich?

                                Is a lobster roll a sandwich?

                                Is an “open face sandwich” a sandwich?

                                Using meat/vegetables as the origin, must you only have bread (or bread like things) on two opposite sites of the meat/vegetables to be a sandwich?

                                Can you have bread on three sides and still be a sandwich?

                                How about bread on only one side, like the “open face sandwich”?

                                    I didn’t just now, then reloaded and it reappeared.

                                      I see my passionate and well reasoned argument has helped turn the tide back towards the hotdog being a sandwich.

                                        If you said “make me a sammich” and that person gave you a hot dog what would you think?
