Was this even an argument? Tomato sauce is incredible and a staple on hotdogs and Bunnings snags. Are there anti-tomato sauce hotdog people??
I live in Chicago, if you ask for ketchup on your hotdog here they just throw it at you in disgust
Chicago dogs are gross anyway
Ketchup =/= tomato sauce.
Ketchup is mostly water and sugar.
In Australia we call ketchup tomato sauce. Tomato paste is probably what you’re thinking of.

If I heard ketchup I'd probably think of kecap manis/sweet soy sauce firstly.
Ahh fair fair. That’s my aussie ignorance showing.
Does ketchup taste like tomato sauce on a hotdog then?
I’ve always assumed Ketchup was the Americanism for tomato sauce.
As an American who has spent time in Oz, I can clarify. In Oz, what you call tomato sauce is what we call ketchup/catsup. In the US, tomato sauce is either the primary ingredient in things like spaghetti sauce, or it can be used to differentiate a red spaghetti sauce from something like an alfredo sauce.

Nah mate you're right, we just use different names. Like how they call jam jelly.
Jam and jelly are two different things. Jam is made with actual fruit chunks (usually crushed or pureed), whereas jelly is made with just the fruit juice.
Nah jam is the stuff you spread on toast or a roast.
Jelly is the wobbly gelatinous blob that Americans call "jell-o".
