The Y-cut sandwich trend took the internet by storm, giving sandwich lovers the illusion that they're getting more filling and less crust in every bite.

Can we all agree that sandwiches are one of those gloriously simple options with infinite possible combinations? They can be a snack or a meal, and are almost impossible to mess up. Right?

Apparently, a lot of us have been doing sandwiches wrong.

The controversy began a few weeks ago when Ryan Duff posted on X (formerly Twitter). Though he was eating a classic sandwich combo of ham and cheese, it was how he cut his sandwich that caught his fellow X users' attention.

Instead of cutting the sandwich in half, diagonally or otherwise, he cut the sandwich in a Y-shape with pieces that were approximately the same size.

According to Claire Lower, the digital editor at Christopher Kimball's Milk Street, an instructional food preparation organization, the cutting of the sandwich into three pieces made sense.

Lower explained:

"It seems genius, even though it is just mildly clever."
"It lets the eater start with three bites that they know are going to be 'good,' as in they will have the even distribution of fillings and condiments you get at the center of the sandwich."
"I don't see myself taking the time to do this but I'm a big fan of anything that gets people to eat more sandwiches."

Some were floored by the concept.









Others agreed and were eager to try.









But some were too skeptical to sample.












While many people saw the genius in Duff's concept and wanted to try it themselves, there were still some who were skeptical of the concept, seeing the cut as a waste of time when they could just cut the sandwich in half.

But as Lower argued, whatever cut gets people to eat more sandwiches is the right cut!

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
