Is there some unwritten law that says one can only put hot dogs on hot dog buns? We can't use the two leftovers for lunch meat sandwiches? Or, a sandwich made of some of the leftover fried chicken from the cookout where the hot dogs were served, and have it for lunch the next day? Or, turn them into garlic bread?

I get the point they're trying to make about wasting food, but I feel their time would be better spent by suggesting ways people could stop wasting it.
