    Why do sandwiches cut into triangles taste better than those cut in half?

    I'd have to disagree. My ask would be, why do they pre-cut bought sandwiches in triangles? As opposed to a rectangle cut, they are difficult to cram crisps in and your crisps and/or filling try to fall out as the corner droops - and nobody wants a droopy end!

    God forbid a droopy end  :D  The practicalities of a triangular sandwich is a point I admittedly overlooked.  I think they just remind me of my childhood and therefore taste better.  I wonder what the anti-rectangle vibe is about?

    I think it's a clear case of elitist poshism attempting to further dilute the average persons 'fair cut' and needs looking into. Not all want dainty sandwiches and I'm sure feminists would also agree that it's yet another case of trying to oppress women into taking a smaller bite of available resources.

    * I may or, may not of had too much coffee.

    I think there's a PHD in this: a critical examination of retail vendors non-engagement with rectangular sandwiches.  

    *I need coffee  :D

    Sandwiches from packets however they are cut are just nasty . Cheap floppy bread fillings too cold 

    The ones in paper bags are a bit more edible and Gregg's do some rectangle cut ones and Sainsburys taste the difference range

    Ahh I'm thinking of M&S sarnies.  Their prawn mayonnaise sandwiches are amazing.   <3

    I never can understand how thin a tube of smarties is, even one of them hardly fits through it, it's unbelievable.

    Why is there not a standard sizing method for clothing, why are all companies different?

    I can wear size 36 jeans from Marks and Spencer, but from Sainsburys’s I have to buy size 40!

    Oops I am giving away how fat I am :D

    Why are all the Comic Con type events cancelled till next year? We should've gone to 2 this month, Chesterfield on the 1st, and Leeds on the 15th.

    Why can't I get a job?

    I've never been to a Comic Con but I really hope to at some point @MrAllen1976 have you been to any prior to this year?

    I thought this might be a bit of fun and lighthearted to question the common sense behind  some things, like...

    Pringles - why are the tubes not big enough to fit your entire hand in  :D
    Why do I have this image of you with baby propped on one arm and pringles in the other! :):smiley: I hope your new family member is settling in well.

    Aren't jeans measured in inches?  How can that be different!?  :o  I also have a jeans related question though....why do they only make them in even sizes?  2 inches is an awful lot, it's the difference between cold shins and dragging on the floor!  :D

    And on the subject of clothes, why do they make mens T-shirts with such enormous, gaping neck holes?  We're not all huge, hench body builders with girthy necks...no-one wants so see my scrawny collar bones poking out the head hole!  :D

    Why are handwash bottles not made in a way that allows every drop to be used?  Either the base needs to dip in the middle (with a solid ring around the lower edge) or they need longer pump tubes to reach an edge!

    I have seen some companies make odd numbers but very rarely!!
