You're Cutting Your Sandwich WRONG! | Food Theory

You've been cutting your sandwiches WRONG for years. Forget the diagonal vs horizontal cut. No, try The Duff Cut, a sandwich slice that is supposed to give you the PERFECT bite every time. We know... it's rather controversial, and people on X, Instagram, and the rest of the Internet have been up in arms about it. Move aside Subway and Jimmy John's, you've got nothing on this sandwich. Trust us, this is BIG.

🥪 What is your preferred way to cut a sandwich?

[StevenHe]

I just open the sandwich and eat each ingredient individually

[MonneTheMoon]

This guy is talking about trigenometry and Pythagoras theorem meanwhile I am trying to understand how cutting sandwich different ways can lead to more sandwich.

[乂]

I just eat my sandwich whole, no cutting necessary.

[Travisimo-The-Great]

I usually exclusively cut pieces off of my sandwich directly into my mouth, only ever using my teeth

[mitwhitgaming]

"I'm cutting my sandwich wrong... or am I?"
_Vsause music_

[riuphane]

2 things i take issue with:
1) you missed Bobby's reason for preferring the bias cut: presentation
2) you never put this to a practical test. I imagine doing that cut would make for some weird mess in the middle.

I've been a diagonal bias cutter for quite a while, but you have got me wanting to experiment...

[IndianaKong]

I'm surprised we didn't see the Santi Slice done in practice by the end of the video, feels like a missed opportunity.

[Owowyn]

the worst part of this video is that the single slice is horizontal instead of vertical

[wryed]

wouldve loved to see the santi slice actually performed and tested irl for the video

[ArchetypeApollo]

horizontal vs diagonal?
more like vertical vs diagonal

[ryanfriedrich]

There's actually an entire branch of mathematics dedicated to fairly slicing cake among an arbitrary number of people. UpAndAtom has a great video on it.

[deathbolikusjo]

4:10 four inches more? You mean four SQUARE inches more? For shame, may MatPat’s eternal spirit haunt you for this gross unit error

[KingJH]

this is the first theory video where i thought 'i wish matpat was here' because matpat wouldnt just use math to figure this out, but actually make, cut and eat the sandwiches to see if there actually was any difference

[semioldguy]

How can you argue that the four-triangles cut is not stable enough to hold it together, but then ignore that the Y-cut has one of its three portions that is exactly the same and not count it against that way of cutting. Can't have it both ways.

[DoctorJjay]

This NEEDS a Part 2 where it’s actually tested IRL

[_KKnife]

It feels like there's a huge part of this video missing, the best part of this channel, in my opinion, is the irl testing and the funny stuff that comes from that, I love seeing the team interact, instead we just get the bare minimum and it feels like I'm watching a video halfway through

[literallywhy]

Y’all are cutting sandwiches you make at home? I just slap it together and eat it

[Cheesehead_Caleb]

Why have episodes been so short recently? This episode felt like it could have used an irl testing section.

5:16 "You also get 35% more good bites compared to even the diagonal cut." *Proceeds to show the horizontal cut*
