" Every year around this time, coinciding with the NCAA men&amp;#039;s basketball tournament, the Internet is overcome with the same weird impulse. I&amp;#039;m talking about the compulsion of sports fans and non-fans alike to turn everything, from comic-book characters to car manufacturers to burger joints, into a tournament bracket. Of course, we are hardly exempt from this compulsion, but this is the world of food we&amp;#039;re talking about, and lately we&amp;#039;ve noticed things getting a little out of control. What&amp;#039;s the best condiment of all time? How about the best alcoholic drink? Is cake better than pie? Where can you get the best hot dog? Which NCAA team has the best &amp;quot;drunk college food&amp;quot;? Enough. Let&amp;#039;s all agree: The God-given purpose of brackets is to place bets on sports teams competing against each other in a tournament. Not to ask the Internet whether it likes soy sauce or Nutella more. Dan Levy over at Bleacher Report has done a nice job of summing up the issue of rampant bracketology by creating the very amusing (and very meta) &amp;quot;Ultimate March Pop Culture, Food, and Sports Madness Bracket... Bracket,&amp;quot; wherein 68 different brackets, real and imagined, compete against each other to be named the Ultimate March Madness Bracket. We&amp;#039;re especially interested in the outcome of &amp;quot;Things in a Can&amp;quot; vs. &amp;quot;Best Non-Food Items Used as Food.&amp;quot; Could be a close game.
