Question of the Day - November 9, 2023

[MonaLyssa33]

Some controversial questions for this November Thursday.

Is a hotdog a sandwich?
Is cereal soup?
What is more of a salad? Fruit salad or potato salad?
How do you pronounce GIF?

I do not consider a hotdog a sandwich.
Cereal is not a soup because I don't think soup in general would be sweet.
I think potato salad is more of a salad because there is a sauce or liquid component that binds the ingredients.
I pronounce GIF with a hard G like you would gum or golf.

No
Fruit salad, but only because I like it and don't like potato salad (mayonnaise )
Hard G, it's short for Graphics Interchange Format

Funny story semi-related. When DD was about 2/3 one day she was adamant she wanted a BOOGER sandwich for lunch. Not Turkey or ham or anything that made any sense to me. She was toddler certain like most kids that age. I finally figured out she wanted a BURGER sandwich because I remembered she had been looking at a package of hamburger buns on the counter.
