18. Cheese Sandwich
There’s nothing quite like some cheese to make your sandwich truly melt in the mouth! You can do so many things with a cheese sandwich.

If you’re fancying something hotter though, you can also heat up the cheese and it will melt inside of the sandwich.

IS HOTDOG A SANDWICH… PLEASE I MUST KNOW!!!
?it could be called one.
I’m pretty sure hotdogs aren’t sandwiches. A sandwich is something put between two slices of bread. A hotdog bun is just one piece of bread that you split in the middle but don’t really tear a part. It can only be considered a sandwich if you split the bun in half entirely. But most people do that on accident.
hi gabe

If a hotdog is a sandwich, Pop Tarts are ravioli
