I'll happily microwave a hot dog for my kids but I swear a piece of me dies whenever they put ketchup on it. But I still love them because I know their brains aren't fully formed yet and they are incapable of making properly informed, moral choices.Now here's the thing. A sad little grocery store hot dog, that you've tossed in the microwave? Sure, throw some ketchup on that (especially when combined with boxed Mac n' cheese). A real, serious sausage though? Mustard and onions are it. Maybe some pickle relish, if you're feeling frisky.
I mean, easy enough solution, don't have ketchup on hand. I would eat ketchup on approximately anything, but it's easy enough to leave out. I also only keep hot dogs around to microwave for kids, can't stand the things boiled and grilling isn't currently a realistic options.I'll happily microwave a hot dog for my kids but I swear a piece of me dies whenever they put ketchup on it.

Arguing over the best toppings for a hot dog is akin to a heated debate about the proper deployment of Cheez Whiz.
....I can understand that there might be a dispute, but I fail to understand what depths of the human condition occurred that made the dispute necessary.
Onions sure, but that's a topping, not a condiment. I enjoy a wide range of mustards, and none I can think of would go well with chili. One of the local restaurants defaults to mayo and ketchup, which is sacrilege
Microwave hot Dogs are a lifeline when you've got kids
I don't think ketchup is overrated. It is properly rated. It's a basic but reliable condiment that goes well with certain foods, like french fries or grilled cheese.
