to have only just found out that....

[spacepyramid]

....when you buy a sandwich in a shop you are getting the halves of two different sandwiches because they are made, put in a pile and sliced in half. I eat my two halves and somebody else is eating the other two halves.

I need to get a life don't i?

What silly things have you never realised?

@alexafindfilms I am completely with your husband on this one! I would NEVER!!! mix milk from 2 cartons. I am now very disturbed at the prospect of the milk being from many cows 🤢

But its sooo obvious!!

All you need to do is look at the outside of the sandwich to see that the two halves dont match.

I am gobsmacked that no one else has worked this out :o

I knew about the cow milk but still in awe re sandwich!

The sandwich fillers have BARE HANDS!! They're mauling the bread...then the cheese...then when the woman put the bread lids on, she PRESSED IT DOWN!

Blech...that's disgusting!

It's not even a case of 'someone else is eating the other two halves" because all the halves are packaged randomy, so it's more like a group of people sharing sandwiches.

I am acutely aware of this because I really DESPISE the bottom part of a loaf (you know, the horrible dried up bit). I consider it a victory when I get a sandwich that's resplendent with two luscious halves made of the good sides I may even attempt to quickly ascertain which sides I'm getting prior to purchase

Even before modern milking parlours, milk was mixed in churns.

No gloves and fingering the cheese....

Never mind that where do they send the outsiders to die ? Cast aside for the insiders !

Also love the idea that perhaps milk tankers have little liquid holding cells inside to cradle every cows individual contribution to the bottling plant where it fits the container perfectly every time.

oh dear, I have only ever bought a packed sandwich thing about four times in my life, but on one of those occasions,I was in a rush, and hungry,so went in a sandwich shop. I fancied a chicken and salad two pack. But later when opening and eating them, one was a chicken and tomato one on white bread, and the other was a tuna and mayonnaise one on wholemeal bread. the label stated two chicken salad ones,

How big does he think a single almond is then? grin

Brilliant. Maybe it's a genetically modified almond, like the enormous turnip.

Does he eat egg sandwiches? Can you imagine the logistics of trying to make sure that the pre-prepared egg mayonnaise is only from one bird?

To all pps disturbed about milk - think about mince and sausage meat many a cow/pig all mashed in there!

Yep, and many a part of their anatomy too.

Its ok folks - the egg mayo sandwiches on that video are all one sandwich... its the poor ham and cheese that lose their other halves!

OH THE HORROR

I feel the sandwich has lost its other half

I also feel sad me and Sarah who has for the other half of my chicken salad sandwich will never meet. Like we’ve shared food and don’t even know it

What about wraps? Are they 2 different half’s too?

Don't tell the milk freaking DH about cheese. That's a whole bunch of cows' milk.

I can confirm this, I used to work in a sandwich factory 😆

Wraps are the same wrap

I quite like the idea that I’ve got a little sandwich soulmate out there somewhere! We’ll never meet but we’re forever bonded by a sandwich 😁😂

That just made me laugh out loud.

Also gobsmacked that no one has ever worked this out before.. I make it my mission sometimes to try and get a sandwich where both halves are the "top" half and feel short-changed when I get two bottoms

Slightly put off by the 'ham log'

I never realized that my Ryan Air flight traversing the Milky Way is going to take 200 billion years. In hindsight I probably should have paid for more legroom.

@Outnumbered99 Nope, I didn't realise this before either.

All the stuff in those 'factory-assembled' sandwiches do seem to be fingered and mauled (with bare hands and fingers,) a bit more than I'd like.

I never buy or eat pre-packed, pre-made 'supermarket' sandwiches though, so I don't care. DH does though LOL. I am still deciding whether to show him that video of how they're made. Maybe he is better off not knowing!
