In particular, goalies should never remove gloves while eating hot dogs during a game, cautioning that \"it's too risky to the knuckles.\"\nIn the \"don't\" category, people should avoid fretting about hot dog ingredients and should instead relax when a Maple Leaf Natural Top Dog™ is on your bun. \"Focus on hot dog deliciousness and know that Maple Leaf Natural Top Dogs™ are made with natural ingredients that are so simple and understandable, no guilt is necessary,\" the etiquette reads.\nIn addition, a hot dog should never be called a sandwich. According to the etiquette, \"hot dogs are sacred in Canada and the name stands with or without the presence of bread. But a sandwich without the bread is just – well, ingredients.\" \n\"With over 950 million hot dogs sold at retail last year in Canada*, it's clear hot dogs are the consummate summer food and Maple Leaf Natural Top Dogs™ in particular are the ultimate in taste, convenience and guilt-free eating,\" said Janet Riley...
