A baseball fan has found himself the butt of an internet joke after his weird habit was caught on camera.
The New York Yankees fan was filmed indulging in a very odd drinking method while he was watching the Yankees vs. Mets game.
In a clip of the moment shared online by Instagram user Nicholas Heller, aka New York Nico, the man can be seen coring his hot dog with a straw. As if this wasn't strange enough, after sucking the meaty center out of the plastic straw, the man proceeds to use his hot dog as an actual straw, sticking it in his beer cup and sucking away.
Heller has a reputation for capturing weird and wonderful moments in and around the city.
He shared the clip of the unidentified Yankee with the stunned caption: "Wtf is going on at baseball games this year?"
Unsurprisingly, it wasn't long before the internet weighed in on the bizarre moment. Many people made it clear that they did not approve of the drinking technique.
"Good morning to everyone except for the guy that drank his beer with a hot dog straw last night," one person tweeted. Another wrote: "I don’t normally get grossed out by dumb s*** ppl do. But that one vid of the man at the Yankees game using a hotdog as a straw. Like… why are y’all like this."
"Who drinks beer with a straw?? Wasting a good hot dog," a third chimed in.
Some even thought the hot dog straw was so outrageous that they joked the man needed to be locked up.
"Life sentence. No parole," one person tweeted. A second wrote: "Arrest this man."
However, other people rushed to the Yankee fan's defense, pointing out how awful it must be getting caught on camera doing something strange - and suggesting that the combination might not be so bad after all.
"My heart goes out to hot dog straw guy, my biggest fear is going viral for being weird at a baseball game," one person wrote. Another tweeted: "If you don’t stand with hot dog straw guy then we can’t be friends. Life is about living, drinking beers out of a hot dog is exactly that."
"Man is out here testing the limits of your reality and the internet won’t leave him alone. I put peanut butter on a grilled chicken breast and it think it tastes amazing. Let the man use his hot dog straw," added a third.
