New research is showing that a sandwich literally tastes better when someone else makes it! Especially when it's cut on a diagonal!

From Oola.com:

"People prefer the taste of sandwiches made by other people to ones that they made themselves, and found that the reason is most likely that when making their own sandwich, people spend more time thinking about sandwiches and it makes them enjoy it less later. The researchers explained that imagining eating a food actually makes you less hungry for it later, so when someone else makes a sandwich for you, you haven’t already ‘pre-consumed’ it while putting it together, and it’s a more enjoyable experience."

From NPR.org:

"The diagonal cut exposes more of the interior of the sandwich, "and by exposing the interior, it engages more of your senses before you take the first bite."
