NO KETCHUP EVER ON A HOTDOG. . . that's as bad as ketchup on a bologna sandwich YUK!!! on french fries OK . . . I do understand that some places in Europe use mayonaise on fries.. Randi? Can that be true?

I've never eaten a bologna sandwich, but I LOVE ketchup on a hotdog (when I eat them, which is usually only at the ballpark!)

And, I know when I visited Amsterdam, I always saw the Europeans put mayonnaise on french fries. Doesn't gross me out, but I don't personally eat it that way. I can't remember if I ever saw them eat mayo on fries in Germany when I lived there.

I will say this, too . . . when I spent a week in Logan, Utah (not far from Salt Lake City), the couple burger joints I went to had what the locals referred to as "pink sauce" in condiment bottles on the tables, and it was a mixture of mayo and ketchup. They used it on everything! It wasn't bad, but I still prefer ketchup.

I never heard of mayo on fries either, till I saw my niece in FL eating them that way just a few years ago. YUK!! However, now my son eats them with mayo too. I don't like mayo anyway, so you'll never see me eating fries with mayo - only ketchup or vinegar. Of course, being from New England, vinegar was the only way I ever ate them until I ventured out into the world, and saw everyone else eating them with ketchup. I thought that was gross too, until I tried it.

Yeah, we love our pink sauce ha ha. Corby likes to mix extra ketchup in it. Some local joints have pickle juice and other things mixed in their pink sauce, it sounds weird but its good. Our Carl's Jr and Sonic have pink sauce too here not sure if they have it in other states?

We buy a lot of store brand stuff, but there's definitely a few things I like name brand. Dog food (I'd never buy any kind you can get at a grocery store), shampoo, pickles (no name brand pickles always seem soft not crispy), cereal - Corby always gets just the big bags of cereal, there's a few kinds of cereal I love so I buy the name brands every now and then. I love real maple syrup, Corby doesn't care, so we have both sometimes when I splurge and buy it. Only kraft macaroni and cheese the rest are gross. I don't know, a lot of it depends on if things are on sale and how bad I want it ha ha.
