Have you ever gone to a new place and discovered that the locals do things completely differently from you? 

For instance, some people might not be used to others folding pizza slices, and some people debate if soda is called "pop" or not. It often can result in debates — people usually feel strongly about food.

These debates are usually a matter of preference, location, or how someone was raised.

We highlighted some popular debates about food.

Do you fold the pizza slice or not?

The debate about folding pizza isn't just about preference, it's about convenience. In New York, folding the pizza slice is common because slices are huge and people usually eat them on the go. There's even a proper technique for folding.

However, there have been many cases against folding your pizza, such as how it makes the joyous act of eating pizza shorter than necessary.

Do you call this sandwich a "hero," a "sub," or a "hoagie?"

What's the proper name for a long sandwich packed with meat, cheese, and condiments?

This answer depends on where you live.

The term "hoagie" originated in Philadelphia. "Hero" is apparently native to New York. There's speculation that "sub" originated in New London, Connecticut. It's all the same thing, right?

Do you put ketchup on hot dogs?

Apparently, not putting ketchup on hot dogs is an East Coast thing. Or is it a Chicago thing? Or does it depend on how old you are? Either way, the debate is out there.
