Yes there are still chocotacos. I had one the other day. It was just as good as I remembered.1

Did you know they don't have Choco Tacos in England?
How could someone get a choco taco to someone in england?0 -

I think it's because of the tortilla, but a tortilla is definitely a type of bread, so I'm not sure why I see a distinction there.
No! Tortilla is not bread!
(Why do I feel so strongly about this?)0 -
Tortillas are a specific type of unleavened bread.0

The hot dog itself is the sausage, but people commonly refer to the hot dog and bun together as a hot dog.
The whole thing is a fun semantic question anyway, so I'm surprised nobody brought this up until now!0 -

This is my favorite kind of hot dog

I live in New York City. No one I know says, "I'm gonna get a sangwich..." and then goes and gets a dog. Not once in 60 years. They might get halfway to a sangwich and CHANGE THEIR MIND and go for a dog INSTEAD, but no one calls a dog a sangwich.
On the other hand, if we were to ask John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sangwich, he would probably applaud the hot dog as an ingenious creation, suited to eating while working or gambling.1 -
Good point! There aren't many people who would think of a hot dog and call it a sandwich.
Of course, there aren't a lot of folks who would say 'rectangle' when they mean 'square', either, but that doesn't make it inaccurate.1 -

I think it's all in the bun.
This is most definitely a sandwich

Also, hamburgers are without question sandwiches.0

I think a hot dog is a type of sandwich. So is a burger on a bun. We don't commonly use the word sandwich but it is still a type of sandwich.
If I take a piece of bread and spread peanut butter on it and fold it in half it is as much a sandwich to me as much as if I cut the piece of bread apart instead of folding it. If I put hot dogs on 2 slices of regular bread it is a sandwich.
A meatball sandwich is a sandwich. A Philly cheese steak is a sandwich. A sub is a sandwich.
A taco could be thought of as a type of sandwich. So could a gyro. A runza is a sandwich.
I guess I am pretty liberal with regards to sandwiches.
A corndog is not a sandwich. A pizza is not a sandwich. An open faced sandwich is not a sandwich.

Depends if you cut all the way through the bun. If you do, it's a sandwich.0

Aren't sub sandwiches not cut all the way through?0 -

Aren't sub sandwiches not cut all the way through?
then it's just sub and they have forfeited the privilege of calling themselves a sandwich.
.... we all make choices in life, some have dire consequences.1 -

This should be cold, hard proof that the answer is: "no".

I think the main problem people have with calling a hot dog a sandwich is the incompleteness of the bun's slice. In my opinion, that's irrelevant.
Not many people would argue that a sub sandwich isn't a sandwich despite its connective hinge of bread on one side. Also common is a sandwich in pita--also one piece of bread. What they have in common is that a layer of bread exists on both of the larger sides of the sandwich, with only a tiny fold on the other sides, and at least one open end. A hot dog also shares these traits.
Things that aren't sandwiches:
* Pizza and the open-faced "sandwich", which have toppings on a single surface
* Pies, wraps, and burritos, which contain their fillings on all sides.
Except, the thing you buy from subway isn't a sandwich either. That's a roll.
Ham and salad roll - made in a bun.
Ham and salad sandwich - made with slices of bread.

For me, it is a salad. I'm really pushing this hot dog salad.2

Basically, except two times the amount of veg, 4 chicken hot dogs, 4 wedges of laughing cow cheese, reduced sugar ketchup, hot sauce and jalapenos. No mustard.2 -

You are the first person to say this. Well, second. Thank you. If you use all those ingredients it's like 490 calories. No one really needs 4 hot dogs though. I'm just a beast.2 -

If it makes you feel any better, I have my own version of a hotdog salad that involves beef hotdogs, a boiled egg, and a small amount of fake mayo (Hellman's Lighter than Light, 11 kcal per tbsp) that I was totally obsessed with for months. Every time you mention the hotdog salad I feel the need to make it again. It also involved copious amounts of vegetables, of course, and did occasionally involve the hot sauce and jalapenos as well.

LMAO this makes me so happy. Also I'm going to try to get that mayo. When I was fat I couldn't fathom "light" mayo but I have a taste for that stuff now. But lighter than light you say? I will look. Thanks. It will go well in my cheeseburger salad too.1 -

@bbell1985 If you don't mind the light stuff, you might be able to get on board with it. It's a little overly sweet but since I've never been a huge mayo lover I'm no purist.
I've peeked at other light mayo and even at Miracle Whip, but they've all been higher in calories so I go out of my way to find that particular brand. Also, I really need to know what's in that cheeseburger salad! It sounds like something I need to try. 0
