    “...and as dictated by common sense” - that is the most passive agressive way I’ve ever heard anyone call someone else “stupid”
  • @Amp64
    Now we just need to know if cereal is soup
  • @Flanx-ul5hj
    14:55 "And as dictated as common sense" that roast was completely unnecessary... And I love it
  • @rosemaryh4938
    Who’s coming back to watch MatPats old videos after knowing that his amazing theorising will come to an end, we’ll miss you MatPat
  • @CurvHornet10
    Can’t wait for the “Is Cereal a Soup?” Video
  • @zepp8806
    “Ketchup is not an acceptable topping to put on a hotdog” Me: That sign can’t stop me because I can’t read
  • @Za_314
    7:10 omfg i can die happy now having this sound bite 5:22 love the fact they accidentally found oswald
  • My answer to those debates (is hotdog a sandwich, is cereal soup) is always 'if i ask for a sandwich, and you give me a hotdog, it doesnt matter what the dictionary says, it's simply not what i asked for'.
  • @nooooo544
    “Ketchup is not a condiment for Hotdog.” Me: LIES!!
  • @jakeborel4162
    Me: eats hot dog with ketchup National Hotdog and Sausage Council: you weren’t supposed to do that
  • I love how he went through all of these eclectic sources in the pursuit of the definition of sandwich, only to end up citing the obvious source of definitions, a dictionary. Truly one the videos of all time.
  • @-mixu-
    There is 3 categories which every food can go: -Sandwiches : A meal which you stack ingredients (you can have a sandwich of bread for example with 2 slices) -Soups : Mostly liquid foods (can have a bit of solid food in it) -Salads : One or a bunch of food you put together, in piece or not (a fruit is a salad of on ingredient) Technically a hotdog is a sandwich, you can try with other foods, each of them can be in those categories.

    Matpat before: "Who is the Purple Guy? Who is Golden Freddy?" Matpat now: "IS A HOTDOG A SANDWICH?"
  • @1stAid
    "Breaking News: Cars now identify as sandwiches also!"
  • @derpypizza
    The thing that really bothers me about this whole situation is that the US Department of AGRICULTURE apparently doesn’t deal with PLANTS
  • @Slattery777
    I adore this channel - its ability to cover so much interesting terrotory off such direct and simple prompts is to be commended.
  • Internet: “Is a hot dog a sandwich?” Tax Collectors: “Yes.” Massachusetts + MatPat: “No.” Me: “Yesn’t.”
  • @mirce8
    Everyone asks: "Is a hot dog a sandwich?" But no one asks: "Is a sandwich a hot dog?"
  • @minered-nl8so
    my definition of a sandwich: bread, something edible, bread. SIMPLE
  • @Bunnyhop21
    Toppings on bread: Toppings which have 1 side covered: bottom Sandwich: Toppings which have 2 sides covered: top and bottom Taco: Toppings which have 3 sides covered: left, right and bottom Wrap: Toppings which have 4-5 sides covered: top, bottom, left, right (and back) A sausage is a taco. Very simple.
