SANDWICHES are AMAZING and delicious, but how do you CUT yours if at all?!?!?
SUNSEEKERS SAY: Diagonal, and they partially right. Science says TRIANGLES (in 4) is actualy the BEST way to do it! It’s based on perceived size & filling exposure, bite mechanics, visual appeal, the crust-to-bite ratio and nostalgia factor.
Ronald Caslick: Not cut—stay uncut.
Rae-Lynne Gerring: Diagonal.
Angela Desmarais: I cut mine into triangles—my boys loved that when they were little 😃
Janine Fleury-Urbanovich: Diagonal!!
Dana Allen Routledge: Well of course it’s diagonal….
Jackie Taylor: Diagonal… anything else just feels wrong lol
Cindy Olinyk: Diagonal for sure. But I cut my “funeral sandwiches” into 3, not 4—they’re a bit bigger that way. “Sad” sandwiches.
Tracy Murphy: I still cut mine diagonally for myself and in triangles for my grandchildren.
Allan Melcosky: Tyler, FYI—sandwiches cut any way still taste like a regular, “boring” sandwich 🤣
Rachel Hartnett: Diagonal. And if doing x4, diagonal so they’re triangles.
Tracey Trelka-Rodger: Diagonally!! I like the “funeral” sandwiches… can sample all lol
Nyran E Cher: Geez, just eat it yo 😎
Brenda Bonchuk (Top Fan): I like diagonal…
Jonathon Peech: Don’t cut them at all.
Michelle L Brau: Always diagonally.
John DeBeer: Diagonally is so much better. Plus, gives the illusion of a bigger sandwich…
Marla Dyke: Diagonal.
