- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

In over half of the states my family lives in, it is illegal to give anything to people voting. Sausages, food, bottles of water in temperatures exceeding 100°, etc. Even if it is equal opportunity, from non-partisan groups, and free of political swag. Whatever it takes to suppress the vote.

Good choice. Object oriented democracies are too mercantile and procedural democracies are too prescriptive.

No, it would be water inside the bottle, but would spray into your face as steam when you open them.
Unless of course it was refering to the bottles being at 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or more correctly: "Asshole-temperature"

I prefer the Ketchup+Mustard+Mayonnaise trifecta. Just ketchup is kind of sad and I don't like mustard by itself. Assuming I had to have only one condiment, it would be the Mayonnaise.

If you must consume "product from a bottle" try Korean BBQ sauce. Yeah yeah its not healthy blah blah whatever. It tastes pretty good on cooked pork, however, as you'd guess by its other applications.
Another one is "real bbq sauce" is supposed to be put on "real bbq meat" prepared in a "real bbq manner" slow smoked for hours, but really any savory/non-sweetened BBQ on grilled meat is pretty good. The smokey vinegar mustard based bbq sauces are real good.

Chose the 'catsup' option, because it reminded me of Corner Gas, where Lacy thinks Oscar can't read because he's sounding out 'Cat-sup' (because he thinks 'Catsup' is just wrong wrong wrong).
When i was a kid, yeah...ketchup.
Now i prefer stuff like dijon or hot mustard, Sriracha, horseradish, sauerkraut...

If the meat-stick is at grilled bratwurst levels, then sure, a nice coarse grind brown mustard is definitely the condiment of choice.
However, if we're talking about some steamed or microwaved, artificially cased, generic hotdog in a limp white bun... that's ketchup country for me.

But I never tried sticking French fries in them.

1) Ketchup doesn't taste good anymore. As a kid, it used to taste tomato like a super incredible mild salsa like a sweet and sour coleslaw but with tomatos and without cabbage, kinda. Kind of a pasta sauce with less oregano and garlic LOL. Now you cannot buy hyperprocessed ketchup below 25% sugar and its overwhelming, smack you in the mouth, sweet overwhelming any other flavor. I would not put maple syrup on a hot dog either. Now that I think about it, the sugar content of fake maple syrup aka "pancake syrup" might be lower than ketchup, and pork breakfast sausage with a little syrup on it is tasty although I usually don't eat that. Regardless, the sugar content is too high for my diet and after a couple weeks your taste buds re-regulate and it becomes way too sugary to eat. "Back when I was a kid" and ketchup was only like 10% sugar it was both tasty and edible, not so anymore. Ketchup is now a red food dye ice cream syrup topping, its pretty gross. Its like the "strawberry" (with no fruit included) ice cream topping but less floral perfume smell.
2) The local "fancy hot dog stand" which claims genealogical connection, vaguely, to Chicago (I have doubts as to its parentage), serves its dogs and hot sausages with slices of tomato and hot peppers. Apparently ketchup is a shit hyper processed substitute for a tomato slice and mustard is a shit hyperprocessed substitute for an italian hot pepper. The real food is delicious. So at home I eat brats and hot dogs with slices of tomato and hot peppers just like the fancy hot dog stand. Its pretty tasty if you've never tried it, go ahead, its really good! Or instead of trash hyperprocessed ground up hot dog relish with an ingredient list longer than a tax return, try a slice of pickle with a grilled dog or sausage, thats pretty good also.
If I'm going to eat something unhealthy like a high carb bread based sandwich, I'm going to "treat myself" to delicious ingredients so I'm sticking to sliced tomatos, hot peppers, and pickle spears, none of this "sugar slop in a bottle" no thanks. Sort of like when I eat unhealthy ice cream I buy the REALLY good super tasty stuff not the giant bucket of bulk slop.
I wonder if I could make my own, edible ketchup. Tastes like tomato without lip curling sweetness.
