Pepsi created a cola-infused hot dog condiment and it's coming to Detroit's Comerica Park

Hard pass on this one.

DETROIT -- According to the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, Americans will consume more than 150 million hot dogs on July 4.

But anyone at Comerica Park in Detroit will get to spice up their dog with something special: Pepsi Colachup, the world’s first Pepsi-infused condiment.

Just asking. It may be some nouvelle cuisine thing for all I know.

Marinades make excellent dipping sauces.

But that main point is that the flavors work well together.

Applesauce for pork chops is a classic.

Pineapple glaze on ham.

Hell, ketchup is basically candied tomato puree.

Sugary cola flavor? Why not?

100% agree about ketchup not belonging on hot dogs.

IMO, Mustard, Onions, and your choice of Chili, Slaw or Sauerkraut.

Every Monday for four years (high school). One person would get a serving of slaw and share at the table. Usually could load 3 dogs with one dish!

My best friend and I made Poor Boy BBQ sauce which was ketchup with Coca-Cola. I switched Coke out for A&W Root Beer which gave it more bite and added cinnamon and garlic powder and vastly improved it, but he said it wasn't Poor Boy BBQ sauce once you started getting "fancy."
