The thing that got me was salt & pepper on cantalope, honey dew or watermelon. My Okie relatives would season up all their melons... never saw the appeal.

I had to check that one out.
For the record I don’t eat McDonald’s.
I don’t believe everything I read on the internet so not sure, but here is what I found:
Why don't the McDonald's restaurants in New York City put mustard on their burgers?
Answer (1 of 7): Traditionally, mustard was reserved for use on Hot Dogs in New York. Burger restaurants usually offered Ketchup or Mayonnaise (sometimes Burger Relish, similar to the Big Mac sauce) for their burgers, especially the fast food places like McDonalds. All McDonalds condiments come ...
When coming to NYC back in the 70’s McDonald’s did their usual testing and found that NY’ers do not put mustard on their burgers, therefore McDonald’s doesn’t either in NYC. However mustard is part of the standard assembly process for a hamburger almost everywhere else including most of NY State. The amount of mustard is very small in comparison to other condiments.

Peanut butter and mayo sammiches. Everyone makes funny faces when I tell them how good it is (even better when toasted and the two melt together a bit.) Usually, anyone that tries it seems to love it. We grew up on it. My middle brother used to put marshmallow cream on his peanut butter sammiches. Talk about stick to the roof of your mouth!

Ok that’s interesting.
I have never seen an episode of that show. I have heard the song and know they worked in a brewery.
Thanks for that

Love yellow mustard on burgers. Combine mustard and pickled jalapeños and you've got an even better burger.

My mom had these pictures hanging in the kitchen when I was really young. Apparently she sent $.25 to Morton salt company for them. On day I was looking through an old atlas and there they were, so we framed them and hung them in the dining room.
The salt on grapefruit is the real curious one:

Laverne was a milk and Pepsi lady.
I grew up with salt on cantaloupe/musk melons. Dad always wanted a little powdered sugar on his grapefruit halves. G/f..... ketchup on her breakfast sausage links.
Joan, apple sauce on pork is a pretty classic combo.
My parents were horrified by the very concept of a butter pat on a grilled steak.

in 1981 I went to the Illinois Institute of Technology for a long enough time to appreciate Connies deep dish pizza.
I used to stop in there for a pizza (and bring an extra one home) whenever we passed through up until a couple of years ago...
ETA: I love mustard. I don't put ketchup (catsup?) on dogs. Giardiniera makes everything better!

I was cooking hamburgers outside and I came inside for something. As I was leaving, my wife said, "Why don't you grab the buns on your way out?"I just put salt on my melons.
So I did. She was surprised.
