Two for the price of one? A Yankees fan has gone viral for all the wrong reasons, using his hotdog as a straw to drink his beer Monday night at Yankee Stadium.

Now, you might be thinking: a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do? Wrong.

Instead of using the legitimate straw he had on hand to drink his cup of beer, the Yankees fan decided to make things way more complicated than they needed to be. The fan whipped out a regular straw and began punching a long hole through his hot dog.

The man licked the ends of his straw before picking up his glass of beer and submerging the hotdog in it. Just when things couldn’t seem to get any stranger, he began to use the hotdog as a straw. (RELATED: Try To Watch This Reporter Go Down A Slide And Get Brutally Injured Without Wincing)

Twitter users had mixed reactions to the odd drink/straw combination, with CBS sports calling the combination a “WILD move.”

“The hot dog beer straw man is the boldest example of American ingenuity since Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity,” The Athletic’s Yankees reporter Lindsey Adler said in a tweet.

“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,” Barstool’s Dan Katz said.

The Yankees played the New York Mets during Monday night’s game, beating them 4-2.
