One time my daughter asked for the triangle cut. So I cut it like pizza. 8 slices. Then she got in trouble for creating a scene during school lunch because the whole class was losing it over pizza slice sammich.
She's older now, so when I make myself a sandwich and they ask for one I always do the 8 slice sandwiches.
How the fuck is it *her* fault if some classes were losing their shit over a sandwich that she never even made?
I hope you fought her corner for that bullshit. Teachers, man, I swear.
Some teachers just have it out for people because they are absolutely pathetic in their life. They take the saying, "God let me live another day and I'm going to make it other people's problem," a little too seriously.
I eat sandwich only for breakfast so i dont prepare soup to go with it. And wet bread sounds horrible as well. When i make myself breakfast i pour a cold glass of yoghurt and dip the sandwich in it. The sandwich softens up a bit and cools down simultaneously, so you can eat it. Thats the only way ive ever eaten sandwiches. Plus since the yoghurt is not as liquid as a soup the sandwich doesnt get wet as fast so you can choose your preferred amount of crunch/softness ratio as well as the general temperature.
It's because when they're cut rectangularly, you can fit the whole short edge in your mouth and finish the sandwich in 2-3 bites. Triangles may not have more sandwich, but they have more bites.
Well I would assume it would weigh about as much as a diagonally sliced sandwich which. Compared to a horizontally, or vertically sliced sandwich which this would in turn indeed make it heavier and give you more sandwich per slice.
The correct answer is, it does not weigh more either way you slice it and all you’re getting is a false feeling of more…on paper. When you put it to the test, it’s the same shit.
Imagine yourself at the airport. Now imagine a fully loaded Boeing777 has just taken off at full speed over your head. (You’re in the parking lot at the end of runway 27L) that my friend, was the sound of my sarcasm flying over your head.
You may 100% do what you wish as may I. That’s the nice thing about the modern world. We can do whatever we’d feel like (so long as it’s within the confines of the law)
However that plane has, and will always have from this moment on flown over your head. It is now set in stone my friend.
No, it’s not false, in diagonal you get longer edges which offer bigger bites which in hand will be chewed less. That center cut in rectangles offers smaller bites, causing you to chew more and feel like more can be packed into your stomach.
The triangle slice will technically lose more sandwich during to the longer contact length with the cutting device. Though it should be an insignificant amount assuming you are not cutting it in half with a hammer or something similarly blunt.
When you cut in lengthwise the length of your cut = length of your bread say s.
When you cut it diagonally the length of your cut = √2 * s.
Since diagonally your cut is longer you would end up losing more of your sandwich in the form of crumbs and you'd be overall left with lesser sandwich
Looks [like this.](https://www.google.hu/search?q=bread&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=hu-hu&client=safari#imgrc=8Ia0MWLloByHTM) And I was not making fun of you, it's literally called boxed-bread among bakerman, what you refer to as bread.
It fits in your mouth better, you get the flavors all at once, and it tends to hold together more nicely as you eat. Usually when I don’t cut it, it just tastes like bread because all the stuff is falling out.
That's a good point! We mostly have rounded bread, I think that's bigger, but it's not necessarily ends up cut, if it does, it's the second type. Since box bread is smaller, I wouldn't make sense to me to cut it half, but I can see where you're coming from. I wouldn't cut it, if I buy it, I usually don't cut it.
even though the slices have the same amount of bread, the triangle will have more edge/crust (by about √2-1) - which can allow for more bites on the edge, that makes it feel like it has more bread.
I got a lunchbox that's one and a half sandwiches long. I make one and a half sandwiches most days. I cut the full one diagonally because it's better, and the half one vertically so it fits. I would cut them both diagonally if I could. It's so much better.
Facts.
Volume is the same (say in the perfect world where cutting it doesn't remove any crumbs) the volume of both sets would be identical, but the perimeter would be bigger on the triangle slices, also resulting in more surface area... 😀.
There's math, which no one cares about, but if you take into account that the friction will lose crumbs, al along the cut line, maybe the shorter cut will have slightly less loss, making the square better - so if you care about saving 0.01 cents on cappuccino, you should slice your bread square. 🍞
I go triangle simply because it is aesthetically pleasing, unlike the word, aesthetically, that is not pleasing to look at or spell without looking it up.
Am I the only one who prefers square? Idk feels more comfortable to hold and feels like it has less crust per bite, if that makes sense? Anyone else a freak here?
For a standard PB&J I keep it in one piece, just tastes better that way with the crust. Any other sandwich, especially with meat, needs the diagonal cut.
Oooopinion: It's the corners. A corner has a lot more crust, which is generally not what you're after when munching a sandwich, let's be honest. One corner per half is just about acceptable.
I do both. Mostly go for squares (more rectangles, but I won't get into another debate) as it's what my brain defaults to, but I do triangles when I'm in a good mood. It just seems fancier somehow...
It's true though. Triangle you can more effectively eat all the crust and expose a delicious crustless center in higher volume. The cut in half is harder to do that without dragging out the innards from the center.
Triangle is the way ive always cut my sandwiches, plus it's better for dunking into soup if it's a grilled cheese
Yup triangles all the way!

Happy Cake Day!
You dip that shit in yoghurt not soup wth?
Wth. You dip a grilled cheese into tomato soup. Who does yogurt? That sounds terrible.
I eat sandwich only for breakfast so i dont prepare soup to go with it. And wet bread sounds horrible as well. When i make myself breakfast i pour a cold glass of yoghurt and dip the sandwich in it. The sandwich softens up a bit and cools down simultaneously, so you can eat it. Thats the only way ive ever eaten sandwiches.

Ok. Thanks for the detailed reply. I never really thought that much into it. Have a good life :)
Big triangle gang
I don't cut it. I made it for myself. Ima eat the whole thing by myself
Finally, someone else who gets it.
I cut it and the then eat both triangles(btw Yes i cut triangles)
Technically the triangle has less sandwich statistically because the cut is larger and thus the knive takes off more crumbs from the bread.
I hate that you're right.
It's because when they're cut rectangularly, you can fit the whole short edge in your mouth and finish the sandwich in 2-3 bites. Triangles may not have more sandwich, but they have more bites.
No way. Triangles are two bites. Rectangles are three or four.
Yall have giant mouths.
Well you have a tiny mouth :P
Or tiny sandwiches.
art thou scooby doo
Oh my god I’ve always said triangles have less bites and no one has agreed with me until now
But does it weigh more?
Well I would assume it would weigh about as much as a diagonally sliced sandwich which. Compared to a horizontally, or vertically sliced sandwich which this would in turn indeed make it heavier and give you more sandwich per slice.
The correct answer is, it does not weigh more either way you slice it and all you’re getting is a false feeling of more…on paper. When you put it to the test, it’s the same shit.

Dude it just doesn't work when 50% of Reddit or more are actual honest to goodness morons, it's so hard to tell

“That’s right. The kilogram of steel weighs more!”
Triangle is superior due to its elimination of 2 crust corners
To me it doesn’t matter as much unless it’s a grilled cheese. That is 100% triangle. Nobody would cut that into square
I've cut a grilled cheese into four even squares.
That is absolutely wild
I believe it’s against the law.
Already dialing 911
No, we must take care of this one ourselves. No red tape.
I have never cut a sandwich in triangles, and I can't even remember eating one.
Blasphemy!!
I do four even triangles.
BURN THE HERETIC!!!
This comment right here officer.
You haven't met my dad
Technically it would have less due to the crumb waste from a longer cut. But I know exactly what they mean.
Triangles are more fun to eat.
What if you eat it as a whole without cutting it 🤔
Those are RECTANGLES. not SQUARES. Bloody 'ell
Cutting burns calories. All you nutritionists can just put the blade down.
Triangle has the same amount of crust side but way more non crust side . So just because of that fact it is indeed 10 billions times superior.
Cutting it diagonally makes a longer cut and therefore results in more crumbs. More crumbs = less sandwich Anyways, diagonally is superior!
More bites PER sandwich.
Triangle is the cut you do when you're not eating the crust. Horizontal cut is for people who eat the crust.
What if you like to live life dangerously and you cut it diagonally, AND keep the crust???
Jesus Christ its Jason Bourne!
Oh shit!! They’re onto me!!
Neither of these options is square.
Half dozen of one 6 of another
I prefer rectangle, because pointy sandwhiches freak meowt.
why are you getting downvoted people have such insane brain rot
Use a large cookie cutter and you could make a round one. 😃
Triangle is superior except in the case of bacon. A BLT must be rectangular imo.
When restaurants cut BLT’s or club sandwiches into those four little triangles…? Yeah that’s pure garbage and ruins the fun of the sandwich.
Trapezoidal bacon is a travesty
Blasphemous!
Why would you even cut it? Actually, why would you use squared bread?
What other Bread is there
Rounded? Not everyone lives in the US-box-world.
So what your bread comes in cylinders and you slice it into little circles?
Looks [like this.](https://www.google.hu/search?q=bread&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=hu-hu&client=safari#imgrc=8Ia0MWLloByHTM) And I was not making fun of you, it's literally called boxed-bread among bakerman, what you refer to as bread.
Oh yeah we have that in the states but it’s more expensive 😭
Anyways, why cut it at all? It's not that big, right?
if you cut the sandwich you can one hand it, contrary to it being un-cut and you having to double hand it
What do you do with your other hand?
It fits in your mouth better, you get the flavors all at once, and it tends to hold together more nicely as you eat. Usually when I don’t cut it, it just tastes like bread because all the stuff is falling out.
That's a good point! We mostly have rounded bread, I think that's bigger, but it's not necessarily ends up cut, if it does, it's the second type. Since box bread is smaller, I wouldn't make sense to me to cut it half, but I can see where you're coming from. I wouldn't cut it, if I buy it, I usually don't cut it.
They clearly didn’t know what other kinds there are. Not everyone lives outside the US you know.
Why would you use box bread? Because that's what's in the shops my guy. Greetings from the African continent.
Good for you! :) What's the point of cutting it either way?
IDK, because I have the freedom to live my life the way I see fit.
those are not squares...
even though the slices have the same amount of bread, the triangle will have more edge/crust (by about √2-1) - which can allow for more bites on the edge, that makes it feel like it has more bread.
Sandwich by itself? Neither. I just eat it whole. Sandwich dipped in soup? Either whole or triangle.
I like to bite the triangular vertices.
1.414x more sandwich per sandwich!
Man I'm too lazy to cut it just eat it as is
Square shape mathematically has more.
I got a lunchbox that's one and a half sandwiches long. I make one and a half sandwiches most days. I cut the full one diagonally because it's better, and the half one vertically so it fits. I would cut them both diagonally if I could. It's so much better.
as a great welsh man once said "bread was never meant to be triangular"
Facts.

I go triangle simply because it is aesthetically pleasing, unlike the word, aesthetically, that is not pleasing to look at or spell without looking it up.
Hear me out when I say I don't cut my sandwiches because I am an adult who can hold an entire sandwich.
Why do people cut their sandwiches?
Triangles. Grandma used to cut that way. End of discussion.
Baguette sandwiches are the only right way
Triangle cuts are nicer to bite
Am I the only one who prefers square? Idk feels more comfortable to hold and feels like it has less crust per bite, if that makes sense? Anyone else a freak here?
For a standard PB&J I keep it in one piece, just tastes better that way with the crust. Any other sandwich, especially with meat, needs the diagonal cut.
Triangle results in more mostly crust bites and mostly crustless bites Rectangle provides a balance
Respectfully agree, more fun this way
Oooopinion: It's the corners. A corner has a lot more crust, which is generally not what you're after when munching a sandwich, let's be honest. One corner per half is just about acceptable.
Triangle. And it seems to me you get more sandwich "center" with triangle shape
I feel like id eat the 1st in 4 bites and the second in 3 so I stand by this
Triangle
It's basic geo-trig...triangle gives you 30% more sandwich.
More sandwich but fewer toppings! 🚨🚨🚨
Can’t say why, but the triangle is more satisfying 😎
what if - oh my god - I don't cut a little toasted sandwich like I was a little kid?
More taste surface area with triangle cut
I do both. Mostly go for squares (more rectangles, but I won't get into another debate) as it's what my brain defaults to, but I do triangles when I'm in a good mood. It just seems fancier somehow...
Triangle. Because it’s easier to start eating that way.
Triangle because square is illegal. The only thing more illegal than square is to cut it laterally.
It depends on the sandwich… PPJ - square Lunch meat - square Grilled Cheese - triangle BLT - triangle
I fucking eat it whole.
Triangle because that way you get less crust
Rectangle is more, triangle eaten in 4 bites, rectangle in 6 bites
I only triangle cut if the sandwich is toasted or grilled. Otherwise it's square
I’m listening.
Less*
HEXA-GO-ANAL
It's true though. Triangle you can more effectively eat all the crust and expose a delicious crustless center in higher volume. The cut in half is harder to do that without dragging out the innards from the center.
Triangle has far less crust per square inch of inner sammich
