This is the best reply to this thread there could possibly be. I don't know why we've continued.

The convenience of delivery while at work is nice but the sandwiches from JJ's are awful, couldn't force myself to eat it. I make a run up the street to Jersey Mike's instead so much better.

Back to the original topic, I'll go ahead and fix problem for everyone:


I figure about three inches per holder gets you seven holders on a typical 55cm top tube. That should be plenty for even the busiest food messenger. I don't foresee any problems with this plan.

Timely find:



Interesting, but has problems literally from square one, since it would allow hamburgers in the hardline traditionalist sandwich category. Whatever one finally thinks the answer is, hamburger-as-sandwich is most definitely not a hardline traditionalist position--and yet, well, it certainly does seem to satisfy our traditional criteria for sandwich-hood...

Regardless, the most interesting question raised by the chart is clearly: Do you want to live in a world where a Pop-Tart is a sandwich?

It seems an attractive proposition, and I can definitely see arguments in its favor. But, if radical sandwich anarchy reigns supreme, then isn't a Combo a sandwich too? Or an almond kiss? Isn't fried chicken? And isn't that going too far:

I'm in love with that infographic. Personally I identify as structural purist ingredient rebel.

Sure is.

For example, I'd say this clearly satisfies the "any food enveloped in any way by a containing food" criteria for sandwich-hood:



And from there it's a pretty short step to saying that a sandwich is a solid drink.

  1. Someone pointed out to me that the supposedly grotesque Double Down is essentially a fast food chicken cordon bleu.
  2. A hamburger is definitely a sandwich.
  3. Jersey Mike's is good.
    1. Even though Jersey Mike's, which is not from Philadelphia, dares to sell in California a "California chicken cheese steak" with no steak and a breathtakingly dull list of ingredients, but weirdly no blue cheese or avocado, usually prerequisites for national-chain sandwiches called "California"
  4. I like ice cream.
  5. The sort of drinks I want delivered would run afoul of open-container laws, I think.
