There are few debates as divisive as the hot dog debate. One side thinks hot dogs should be considered sandwiches. It's a piece of meat that's surrounded on two sides by bread. That's a sandwich. The other side thinks hot dogs are hot dogs. It's a unique thing that should not be forced into a category in which it does not belong. It's estimated that Americans consume 20 billion hot dogs a year......

Crocs, the brightly-colored footwear that some call the ugliest shoe on earth, just welcomed a high-heeled version to its product line. Some fashionistas say Crocs can work—they're not all clunky Crayola-colored clogs. But many insist that unless you're five years old or gardening, Crocs in any form are wrong... just wrong. Is it possible for Crocs to be fashionable?

"There is definitely a demand for child-free restaurants, but nobody dares to say it out loud." Although some people love the idea of child-free spaces in restaurants, no one wants to be accused of being a kid-hater. Let's be honest, sometimes it sucks eating near kids. But others argue children are people too—they have a right to public spaces just like adults, and not everyone can afford a...

Trophy hunters kill roughly 105,000 African animals every year, including 600 elephants and 800 leopards. Hunters say there's nothing wrong with a well-managed trophy hunt.

Fried chicken is pretty delicious but people can't agree on its ultimate form—wings or tenders. Chicken tenders are a no-fuss way of eating fried chicken. It's fried chicken without the mess or the work. Chicken wings are messy, but when cooked just right, they're so, so delicious. The bone keeps the meat at just the perfect level of tenderness and adds much-needed flavor. Which do you prefer? 🍗

People feel strongly about their fried chicken. KFC and Popeyes are at the top of the fried chicken food chain—second and third, respectively, in the fried chicken market (trailing only Chick-Fil-A). KFC's time-tested, secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices has won itself many loyal fans over the decades. But Popeyes' cajun flavors and extra-crispy skin wins hearts and minds every day. Which side...

A growing movement is pushing for male circumcision to be banned for minors. Critics argue circumcision violates a child's rights to have their body intact. It's medically unnecessary and violates a person's right to make decisions about their body for themselves.

Nine states and Washington D.C. have legalized cannabis, and advocates argue the rest of the United States should follow suit. According to Gallup, 64 percent of Americans now say weed should be made legal.
