Indiana Fever rookie star Caitlin Clark has caused a hysterical stir on social media after delivering a controversial take on hot dogs.
The Fever posted a video of Caitlin Clark and several of her teammates being asked to name “the most questionable food combo.” Katie Lou Samuelson said macaroni and cheese with ketchup before Clark stated, “Mayo on hot dogs, you know who you are.”
As you would expect, Clark’s interesting take on this popular food combination led to plenty of hilarious responses from fans:

Several fans pointed out that Caitlin Clark’s “You know who you are” comment was a reference to her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery. Apparently, mayonnaise on hot dogs is one of his favorite food combos.
Clark and the Fever are in the third week of their mid-season Olympic break. They lost their last game to Dallas on July 17 by a final score of 101-93, dropping Indiana to 11-15 on the season.
The Fever haven’t qualified for the postseason since 2016, and they haven’t finished above .500 since 2015. But Clark has Indiana (currently the No. 7 seed) in a good spot to finally end the postseason drought this year, as they’re three games clear on the ninth-seeded Atlanta Dream.
Indiana’s playoff hopes looked doomed early when they lost eight of their first nine games, but a surge in the month of June launched them right back into the playoff race. Barring a brutal late-season collapse, Fever fans will finally get to enjoy the return of playoff basketball.
Caitlin Clark Is Having A Historic Rookie Season
The first overall pick of the 2024 WNBA Draft has certainly come as advertised, averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game. At this time, it’s safe to say that Clark will run away with WNBA Rookie of the Year honors.
Clark has been everything the Fever could have dreamed of, not to mention how much of a role she has played in increasing television ratings and ticket and merchandise sales.
