So, you’re eating a sandwich and are available to a crossroads: Do you are taking a bite out of the dry, lifeless crust, or the juicy middle section brimming with the delicious contents of said sammie?
Thankfully, a TikToker has an “obvious” answer for you.
A Los Angeles food influencer, who goes only by Soogia, revealed there’s “just one answer” — and it’s to go away the most effective, or center, for last.
“All of us have the identical goal in sandwich eating, right? Don’t we?” she insisted in a video posted this week that has since racked up 1.6 million views — and ignited a raucous debate.
“We wish this whole area here,” she continued, gesturing to the meaty, middle bite in the middle of the sammie. “That is the crown jewel of the sandwich — we’ve been waiting for this bite right here.”
The viral video included a picture of a half-eaten sandwich posing the query, “Where’s your next bite?”
In response to the content creator, there are only three potential areas of consumption: Point “A,” positioned on the far left, is part-crust part-innards; point “B” in the middle accommodates the meatiest a part of the ‘wich; and point “C,” on the underside right, has the smallest amount of contents and probably the most amount of crust.
“Please tell me there’s nobody on the market who said that ‘B’ is the following bite,” the seemingly exasperated gourmand pleaded. “It may well’t be. If that is your next bite, you will have nowhere to go except dry crust.”
Signaling to option “C” — which she described as a corner piece with “dry crust” that has “little or no feeling” — she declared that will be the “next bite.”
But she wouldn’t dare move on to “A” or “B” afterward, either. No, she would proceed to chomp on the lifeless edges, leaving only the juiciest center segments to enjoy last.
Soogia, who can also be the founding father of Soogia Foods, couldn’t consider there was an “actual debate on this.”
While fellow crust-eaters united within the comments to champion the creator’s strategic sandwich consumption, some aghast viewers vouched for other methods.
“Agreed. I eat in circles and save the center for last,” one TikToker wrote, which Soogia called “sane.”
“The reply is C but hear me out: small bite of B topped off with C so it’s not so dry,” reasoned one user.
“Edge-eaters unite! That last bite must be the most effective, which is the center,” applauded one other.
“Nope, going straight to B, son!!” comedian and actress Leslie Jones argued.
“I’m with Leslie. And I’ll toss the C piece. F–k that,” added one other.
“B, dry crust goes to the dog,” another person offered.
“ITS B! THEN A. THEN B THEN A. UNTIL YOU ARE LEFT WITH C. and then you definitely throw that part away,” one enthusiastic foodie wrote.
“People selecting B are those who still cut the crust of their sandwiches,” quipped one user.
