Ballparks can be known for their over-the-top food options (apple pie nachos, anyone?), but one Yankees fan took this to new heights (…or lows) Monday.
In a video posted to TikTok by Nicolas Heller, @newyorknico, the now-viral fan is seen creating a straw out of a hot dog — with a straw, no less — and plunging it into a beer before taking a sip, as the Yankees hosted the crosstown Mets.
@newyorknico Arrest this man. #nyc #viral #wtf

“Arrest this man,” Heller simply captioned the video.
The perplexing video quickly spread, with some questioning its authenticity, many echoing Heller’s thoughts, and others, well, intrigued:

Umm, I don’t t see what’s wrong with it. As a kid we would use twizzlers as a straw in our soda.

This is basically a grownups version 😂
A plethora of questions remain, but among the most pressing: Was the dog merely used as a vehicle to consume the beer, or did it become a subsequent snack?
This makes all the difference. Inquiring minds have to know!
