Woman faces backlash after revealing “UNCONVENTIONAL” way of slicing a sandwich — "There’s a fine line between genius and madness"

When it comes to slicing a sandwich, there are two schools of thought: diagonal and vertical. And people still can't seem to agree on which is the proper way to do it.

Diagonal slicing, also known as the “triangles”, is the most common way to slice a sandwich. The method involves slicing the sandwich from one corner to another. It's simple and efficient, and it allows you to evenly distribute the fillings. Diagonal slicing also makes it easy to grab a bite-sized piece of the sandwich without getting your hands too messy.

On the other hand, vertical slicing, also known as the "rectangles" is when you cut the sandwich in half from side to side. This method is said to be more elegant and sophisticated, and it allows you to taste all the different flavours in each bite.



While people are divided over these two sandwich slicing methods, they united to topple down a common enemy — this one woman's unconventional way of slicing a sandwich!

A British woman has faced backlash after she took to social media to share her preferred technique for cutting her sandwich.

In a post to Reddit, the woman shared a photo of one of her sandwiches and explained how she slices three lines diagonally through the sandwich instead of cutting it a conventional way.

She wrote: "I believe this is the best way. Optional shapes and sizes, plus two extra pieces."

The woman also shared that she started doing this unique method about a year ago, explaining: "I make them like this to take to work, smaller chunks mean I don't have hamster cheeks if I have to communicate with people."



However, the woman's approach was not well received by many, as evidenced by the flood of criticism the post received.

One person wrote: "There’s a fine line between genius and madness."

"What is this chaotic neutral monstrosity?" another questioned.

Several users pointed out that the middle portions of the sandwich would be “flappy” (or loose) if one cuts them that way.

One comment read: "I can only eat a sandwich in quarters, sixths is just too much sandwich for me."

"To be fair, I could see this working if it was to accompany soup. Other than that, madness," another commented.

A third added: "This is unhinged."



However, the woman persisted in defending her method, claiming that she feels as though she is eating more when it is divided into six parts.

"It definitely feels like more sandwich even if it is the same amount of sandwich," she argued.

"I would often eat four parts then get sad when there was no more. Like if you go to drink tea but you've already finished it. This way I get sandwich glee!"

So which is the correct way to slice a sandwich? Personally, cutting a sandwich into fours is great for picnics and sandwiches with fewer fillings like cucumber or egg. I find if I overfill my sandwich, one cut down the middle is the only way to go because you can still fit it in your mouth and enjoy all of the flavours without the contents spilling out!

You know with all the terrible things happening in the world today how is this important - some people would be lucky to get a slice of bread, let alone a sandwich.

Cut in four squares is easier to handle, or in three fingers then horizontally through the middle making six pieces.
If the bread is “man” sized, cut twice down & twice across = nine smaller pieces.
Had not thought of this lady’s way. It’s fun!
