wordplays

Sloppy Joe is an all-American, simple sandwich consisting of ground beef, onions, seasonings, and tomato sauce or ketchup on a hamburger bun. The sandwich probably started as a variation of the "loose meat" sandwiches that didn't contain tomato sauce.

A popular theory suggests that the original Sloppy Joe was invented by a cook named Joe in a café in Sioux City, Iowa in 1930. Joe added tomato sauce to the "loose meat" sandwiches, and the rest is history. The sandwich is extremely popular with children and is a staple at school cafeterias throughout the United States, but it is also a favorite of parents since it is cheap and very easy to prepare.
