People couldn’t decide whether the man’s hot dog straw was genius or an abomination.

I cannot think of a single reason someone would do this.

That’s probably something he should just do at home. Alone. In the dark. And just never talk about it.

As these things tend to do, the viral video has been popping up all over the place – including Reddit’s r/Unexpected forum, where u/Chode_of_Justice said –

“Don’t take him out to the ball game!”

Redditors had the same mix of admiration and horror.

I love how it never occurred to him to be self conscious or ashamed. No fucks given.

He paid 8 bucks for the dog and 15 for the beer. By golly he’s getting his money’s worth from both!

Maybe the hot-dog guy wasn’t as daft as he looked – if we all ignore the fact that you don’t need a straw to drink beer.

If the straw was paper, I’d do it too.
