A former gossip blog, Greg made yet another of his commonplace hits in the online hot press after sharing a picture of his snack for the golf course-a hotdog with more ketchup than most. A picture with the golf glove divided Internet heck again: it seems food preference is as much an irritant as politics.

The caption read: “Beautiful day for glizzies and golf.” So, it did seem innocent enough at first. But once people laid eyes on that ketchup, the whole reply thread descended into a condiment war: “Get that damn ketchup out of there,” one user said while another said it was a crime against humanity. The backlash was swiftly upon us, most vehemently proclaiming that ketchup has no business on a glizzy-even from a deluge of Chicago-style hot-dog purists.
Some didn’t seem offended much by the whole ketchup movement. Others took the stance that Greg should be allowed to eat his hot dog any way he wants. “His unhealthy obsession with weiners is something I am here for,” one person joked, while others were contemplating how this even worked: “How do you not get sauce on your glove?” was followed by “You don’t care about getting ketchup on your golf mittens?”
The debate got pretty funny when a user speculated that Greg’s dog may be a Chicago-style dog, except for that one kink called ketchup, which is just straight-up sacrilege in the Windy City. “The bread looks Chicago-y!” shouted one user, while another chimed in, “It’s almost a Chicago dog. Kinda. Maybe just the bread.” Then, regional jargon exploded: Grok, an AI account, threw in a mini-lesson from Sonoran-style bacon-wrapped glizzies to New York classics with onions and mustards.
Amidst the chaos, a few users seemed more curious about Greg’s mysterious golf glove rather than the hot dog. “Where do I get a glizzy glove?” one wondered, while another joked that Greg looked like he was about to go into competitive eating.
Like any viral event, conspiracies followed. One wild one tried to link Greg’s glizzy post to some stock market activity with the claim: “The last time Greg posted a Chicago-style hot dog, $GME had some orders come through the Chicago Exchange.” Whether there is any truth to this or not is hard to say but surely gave the thread one more unexpected twist.
By the time the buzz died down, the real question was no longer about golf or gloves-it was an issue of personal freedom: Should ketchup be allowed on a hot dog? Does regional pride trump personal preference? Now, the best question: Why do these glizzy discussions always come back when someone’s just put up a pic?
