Right. I know many of you are Sandwich Lovers, so I ask you this:

If you make a sandwich using standard slices of bread (square) and then cut it in half diagonally, how many sandwiches do you have?

a) ONE sandwich cut in half.

b) TWO triangular sandwiches.

c) None, thanks. I'm on a diet.


If you eat 13 of the little triangles (a square cut diagonally into 4) how many can you say that you have had? 13? Or 3 1/4?  

What the fuck?

It depends on the situation. If I've bought one of those shop bought sandwiches in the little packs. I'd probably refer to each individual sandwich as the first and second (and in the big multipack efforts third) sandwich. However later on in the future I'd probably say I had a sandwich for lunch. Not two sandwiches.

If it's a homemade sandwich then It will always be just a sandwich, no referencing to the individual proportions.

But how can it change from you eating two sandwiches to just one?

If you go into M&S and buy a plastic packet of 3 triangular BLT sandwiches, have you eaten 3 of them at the start and then when you're bragging to your mates you say you had just one?


What about if you have a baguette? If you cut it into 3 sections and make a sandwich out of each section, do you have 3 sandwiches or just one?

What about if you put different fillings in each section?

Hmmmmmm.

I agree, but the poll says otherwise...

Come on you '2 Sandwich Crew'. Explain yourselves.

It's not much of a debate when you sneak in and ote and run away.

There is clearly only one sandwich in that picture, what moron would say there re two?

Could I make a sandwich with a bagette and cut it into 10 pieces and say I'd eaten 10 sandwiches?  Of course not!

How many are there in this then? Do you count each one as a SINGLE sandwich? or do you need to eat four of them to have eaten a sandwich?

Who are the 11 people who have voted for '2 Sandwiches'?


And is it different for the 'Party Platter' in the pic above?

The '1 SANDWICH' option is gaining momentum after Oxford Fan's ringing endorsement.

So many '2 SANDWICH' voters, but no explanations!

Cheesy  I'm akward because I'd say that if its cut into half, that would mean two sandwiches. But If you did'nt cut it, you'd have a whole one. I did'nt know a topic based on sandwich size could be so interesting.
