At a recent Major League baseball game, a Yankees fan was spotted making innovative use of a hot dog in combination with his ballpark beer.
What he did... well...
It's...hard to describe.
Let's just roll the tape:
In the video, the man uses his actual straw to hollow out a ballpark hot dog and turn it into a straw.
He then uses the new hot-dog-with-a-hole-in-it as a straw to drink his beer.
Does beer need to drunk through a straw? Not the point, here, as there are obviously other questions on people's minds.
Over on Twitter, it of course started off with the risqué humor.

It then quickly turned divisive.
There were those who took his actions as a sign of the dying morals of our times.

\u201c@JomboyMedia God has left us and we only have ourselves to blame for it.\u201d— Jomboy Media (@Jomboy Media) 1661215971
However, a larger and more vocal group chimed in to support the man's innovation.
\u201c@JomboyMedia Let me be the public defender here. Man took 2 delicious food objects normally eaten together. He can now slurp a joint flavor. He can nibble his straw down and continue to use it as a straw. He can keep using his right hand to write 5 star reviews of The Joker.\u201d— Jomboy Media (@Jomboy Media) 1661215971
\u201c@notorious_gt_ @JomboyMedia I respect it more with the fact that he\u2019s doing it shamelessly in public\u201d— Jomboy Media (@Jomboy Media) 1661215971
\u201c@JomboyMedia No different than half the IPA\u2019s people drink, the man\u2019s a pioneer, bravely going where others won\u2019t, excelsior brother \ud83e\udd18\ud83c\udffb\u201d— Jomboy Media (@Jomboy Media) 1661215971
\u201c@JomboyMedia Umm, I don\u2019t t see what\u2019s wrong with it. As a kid we would use twizzlers as a straw in our soda. \nThis is basically a grownups version \ud83d\ude02\u201d— Jomboy Media (@Jomboy Media) 1661215971
The official Twitter for Nathan's Hot Dogs even added to the "pro" side.
\u201c@JomboyMedia I see an innovator.\u201d— Jomboy Media (@Jomboy Media) 1661215971
Other people took the opportunity to reminisce about terrible food combinations they had witnessed at sporting events.
\u201c@JomboyMedia When I was working for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, there was a guy who would put an ice cream sandwich in his hot dog and then dunk it in beer. It was insane.\u201d— Jomboy Media (@Jomboy Media) 1661215971
And lastly, there was a group that focused on the real issue at hand.
The guy's plaid Yankee's hat.
\u201c@JomboyMedia I don't even know where to start with this clip. Despite the egregious behavior in action, I'm going to begin with the disastrophe that is a plaid Yankees hat.\u201d— Jomboy Media (@Jomboy Media) 1661215971
\u201c@JomboyMedia Blackwatch plaid Yankee cap. Dude needs to be in a black site for that alone.\u201d— Jomboy Media (@Jomboy Media) 1661215971
\u201c@JomboyMedia Tell me about it. Who wears a plaid Yankees hat?\u201d— Jomboy Media (@Jomboy Media) 1661215971
Innovator?
Affront to God?
A man who wants to get all the flavors of a ballpark hotdog and beer at once?
We got no real answers, but he certainly caught people's attention.
