A few years ago, I was at a ballgame when my friend inexplicably lost control of the nachos he was holding, and they went all over the back of the guy sitting in front of him. It was a bit awkward watching the last few innings behind a guy who had cheese and onions on his shirt (though we tried to brush off what we could.)
The Brewers may have had my buddy in mind when creating their latest ballpark food offering: Nachos on a stick.

Guarding against accidents may not have been the first consideration, though the general manager of concessions at Miller Park did acknowledge that nachos can “get messy,” which many would prefer to avoid. Now, fans can eat “in one hand and have a beer in the other.”
Darren Rovell’s article on the additions to the Brewers’ ballpark menu included a mention of “Miller Park Bratchos,” which consists of “chorizo, Italian, Polish and bratwurst cut up and served on top of kettle chips, sour cream, fried jalapeños and sauerkraut.” Hey, that sounds good, but it sounds kind of messy. Get back to me when food scientists figure out how to put all of that onto a stick so I can eat it with one hand while checking Twitter with the other.
Oh, and at some point, there has to be a food stand like this at a major or minor league ballpark, right?
Always tweet out unhealthy food, kudos to the Utah Jazz for this stand (H/T @RandallK33) pic.twitter.com/E8KJ5N4Jiv

You can even eat an apple or banana in one hand and have your bottled water in the other. But peeling the banana and putting it on a stick might be less messy.
