Triangular vs Rectangular Sandwiches

Why do most people prefer triangular sandwiches to rectangular ones? According to one theory, triangular ones taste better because they encourage a smaller bite thus releasing flavor molecules more effectively.

I have never heard that theory about why the triangular ones taste better. I never thought it made it taste better but I do prefer triangular sandwiches to rectangular ones.

The 64-thousand $ question is why? Why more people prefer triangular sandwiches. The most profound question on earth

When I was growing up we only had triangular sandwiches when we had company, and then they were cut into dainty quarters. Funny enough, they did seem to taste better! They say presentation contributes almost as much to your enjoyment of food as taste, right enough.

Here we have another plausible theory: appearance improve taste. Any more theories?

I remember triangular sandwiches as a kid and would enjoy the taste a lot more because they always appeared smaller therefore within a few bites I was wanting more! however the rectangle ones look bigger and therefore may not appear as tastier. I know if there is something small on my plate like in a fancy restuarant I relish eating it and savour it, whereas a big portion isnt as appealing!

I think with me it was just that my mom refused to cut them into triangles (she always cut them into rectangles)so when I was old enough to make my own sandwiches, I always cut triangles.

Now it really bothers me. Which is really which? But for me, I prefer the rectangular shape; maybe it is the traditional way or something more than a theory.

I think triangle shaped was preferred by people because it fits into you mouth in a much more civilized way. You don't have to open your mouth so wide to get the sandwich in. Sandwiches cut into smaller shapes are good too, the kind you cut with cookie cutters.

I prefer triangular sandwiches because my first bite is into the center of the bread instead of the crust. That makes the sandwich taste so much better to me. Also, most of the condiments usually end up in the center of the sandwich, too.

You know, I hadn't thought about the condiments. You're absolutely right. Everytime I make a sandwich, most of the mayo is towards the center of the bread.
