Twitter Went Into A Tizzy After Duff Goldman Declared This Surprising Food To Be A Sandwich

While making up food taxonomies is fun, another type of answer starts with the point that a sandwich is a sandwich and goes from there.

This point is best illustrated by an Existential Comics panel where philosophers argue whether a hot dog is a sandwich. Like in a Twitter comment section, they address various points about the hot dog. It starts with the question of whether the food has bread on both sides and food in the middle, and comes to the idea that a sandwich is an umbrella term with different subclasses like wraps and subs.

However, all of this is refuted when Wittgenstein walks in and asks Austin to give him the sandwich. Austin stands there confused and asks whether Wittgenstein meant the hot dog. The point is that while hot dogs and sandwiches have physical characteristics, only a very determined person would insist on saying sandwich when asked about a hot dog or taco. In other words, a sandwich is what society recognizes as a sandwich in everyday conversation, and not as a formality.
