Where I grew up, putting ketchup on a hamburger brought your manhood into question. Ketchup was for fries, mustard for burgers.

Now your AJ associatin does seem so strange..

I grew up in Kansas and Texas. McDonald's put mustard and ketchup on, but everyone else put mustard on burgers. The first time I tasted mayo on a burger, I spit it out, I was so surprised. I can tolerate it now, but avoid it if at all possible.

Sonic started in Oklahoma, I believe, so that's why they aren't big on ketchup. It's a thing in that part of the country.

French fries? Ewwwwww.

Gimme a burger, Whataburger #1, extra mustrard please. Or if I'm willing to make the drive to 27th Ave. and Adams, I'll take the Burger Shoppe special with thousand island. Yum! I grew up near 15th Ave. and Broadway, 9th St. and Broadway, and 43rd Ave. and Indian School. Gee, you ever been to LottaBurger at 43rd Ave. and Indian School? That place rocked my world. No ketchup there, either.

Death to you non ketchup lovers!
There is a coming war. Families will be torn asunder--brother versus brother, son versus father. The battle lines are to be drawn in ketchup, the devil's condiment.

Ketchup is Gods gift to us all! To those that dont agree, I put a thousand plagues on your homes..

True, but only if you still get to hit the pinata at birthday parties.

If not, then mustard it is.

Agree to disagree. Ok on hot dogs, not ok on brats/polish. I stick by this.

Oh, and over medium eggs over hashbrowns.

Had a burger for lunch today at a turd of a bar that serves what is arguably the best burger in the city. I put ketchup on it, just for you guys. Seriously.
