Hot dogs versus Wonderbras. No, really

[Yoda]

I will explain the purpose of this poll in short order. But, for now, feel free to vote and voice your opinion on the following question.

Which do you find to be a more endearing Valentine's Day president? A Wonderbra, or a foot long hot dog?

And--I can't believe I'm saying this--serious answers only please. In other words, don't pick one or the other just to be funny or in some facetious manner.

Yes, this is what my life has become.

Will explain in due course.

I'd imagine my girlfriend would be more grateful for a Wonderbra. I'll ignore the fact she suffers from vegetarianism.

Is it because one makes them look sexy and the other simulates sex?

[MovieMan8877445]

My girlfriend's a vegetarian, so I'd imagine a Wonderbra.

What kind of foot long are we talking about, though? ;)

[Yoda]

No, there is no hidden meaning in either object.

What kind of foot long are we talking about, though? ;)
The kind that does not represent anything.

[Nausicaä]

A bra can be president!!!!


If I got a wonderbra off someone for a Valentine's Day(any occasion) present and I had not asked for it, they would get a massive slap...

A foot long hot dog -- and I'll be completely serious and explain why without going the more obvious route I could take.

A wonderbra is something that, as a gift, you might become attached to for the sentimental reason that your boyfriend (or lesbian lover) bought it for you. You'd wear it every now and then, maybe often, and know that a bra your boyfriend (or lesbian lover) bought you was snuggling up against your breasts.

But would you keep the bra forever? Also, what happens if you and your boyfriend break up? Do you burn the wonderbra?

A foot long hot dog is not complicated like that - it's only around for a moment. You eat it, it goes right through you, you poop it out later. But they taste good and it's bound to be very enjoyable.

You would get more out of the foot long hot dog in the long run just because it was brief, but pleasurable.

Now, none of this is meant to be a metaphor for having cheap, quick relationships or anything - or little sexual escapades with people that only last the length of a lunch break - this is actually something I believe is very serious and true. The foot long hot dog comes and goes quickly, but the wonderbra hangs around longer and can develop lots of associations with it. Bad associations, possibly. You will always have the memory of the foot long hot dog, provided you choose to keep remembering it so that it stays fresh and long-term, but the wonderbra can never have that power - not exactly. Length of time and amount of usage does not mean it's better. I have memories of food that has stuck with me for years, while objects have gone to the dumpster and been forgotten about. In fact, I actually remember the first time I had a foot long hot dog.

So, yes, the foot long hot dog is the better gift and should win. Bon Appetit.

Aye, that's what I've heard from some others. Though I reminded them that it's not about whether or not you'd like receiving a Wonderbra; it has to be viewed as an alternative to the fairly ridiculous choice of a foot-long hot dog. As a gift. On Valentine's Day.

All true. But couldn't you use this same argument to claim that a foot-long hot dog is a more endearing gift than a diamond necklace, too, even though that would be a no-brainer?

It might be a more endearing gift to Kirstie Alley but, yeah, most other women want the diamond necklace.

[Pyro Tramp]

Surely, from an objectification perspective, a wonderbra is more thoughtful than a boob job.

[mark f]

I think that both choices are poor. The only justification I can think of for the wiener is if you were at Dodger Stadium and bought a Dodger Dog but they don't play baseball in February.

Really, the only reason I can find for that to be a real choice is if both have some special meaning to the couple, and then I would think that they could give whichever one of those to each other. Then again, maybe I shouldn't have even said anything...

[rufnek]

Anyone torn between a wonderbra or a hotdog for a Valentine gift don't know much about women. Neither is a correct choice.

:furiousdevil:

On the other hand, there have been occasions I got a bra off someone and it was very pleasant for both of us. :)

[Nausicaä]

I wouldn't mind a normal bra as a present, but a 'wonder bra' is different. - 'You might as well pay for me to have a boob job then'...

:p

[Sexy Celebrity]

If someone gave me a bra, I would either think they want me to be their little crossdressing bitch or they're calling me fat and saying I have manboobs.

I think giving a wonderbra as a gift is fine in some cases - I also agree with Mark F's point that both of them are dumb gifts, but we don't know what Yoda's case is here. I still stick to my foot long hot dog theory.

[nebbit]

I do not need a Wonderbra :nope: never ever ;D

As a vegetarian don't want the foot thingy :nope:

[Deadite]

I voted hot dog because my first choice wasn't represented: a jar of pickled pig's feet.

[wintertriangles]

Make a French dessert. It's better than both choices

No French desserts for me. I mean, look at that hot dog. That is just DIVINE. Hot dogs are truly wonderful - I love all kinds of things on them like mustard, cheese, relish, jalapenos, chili, onions, etc. I would want two of them.

Never buy a woman a bra. Even if you think you know her size you're probably wrong and a badly fitting bra is less sexy than a hotdog. A hotdog could be a nice thing to buy, if she was hungry, and you were out somewhere.

[Yoda]

That was kind of my argument against the hot dog: that you have to construct some elaborate scenario to have it make any sense at all. It's not just "if you're hungry and at a baseball game." It's specifically a Valentine's Day present in this hypothetical.

[KasperKristensen]

No, there is no hidden meaning in either object.

So get her both, what's wrong with that? :) But personally I wouldn't give a lady a hot dog unless I made it myself. And even then I'd go with wonderbra.

[wintertriangles]

Buying women bras is like playing minesweeper on extremely hard. Make her food. Hot dogs are not food.

Or knit her a snuggie

[KasperKristensen]

And teach her how to duggie?
