I can finish in 5, 4 if I put in a little effort, 2 if I really need to.

How big are your bites? The number of bites a sandwich has depends on their size.
Zero, you take bites, the sandwich never has any.
And where am I taking them from, smarty pants?
The same place your lap goes when you stand up
☝️🤓
If someone left a bite in my sandwich I'd be very upset.
Americans really will use any measurement before touching the metric system
It's true.
Just like the misattributed Churchill quote :
You can trust the Americans to do the right thing, after they tried everything else.
That's a bit rich coming from the British.
Well it's a misattributed quote, so it doesn't actually originate with Churchill
... what would the metric unit be? 🤔
honestly number of bites in a sandwich sounds like a volume measurement, so cubic centimeters or litres would be metric units used for this
We'll make an exception this time 👩⚖️
Well, there are 8 bits in a byte, so there must be 8 bites in a sammich, obviously.
Checks out, at least if you represent the string "sandwich" in ASCII.
in 8-bit ascii
That's a 64 bits sammich.
Each bit is an ingredient.
2 bits bread
1 bit ham
1 bit cheese
1 bit lettuce
1 bit tomato
1 bit pickles
1 bit mayonnaise
So when you divide it all out, it's only 8 bites.
Bread comes in too many different shapes and sizes for this to have a universal answer.
12:
Corner bite - a balance of crust and content, a display of delayed gratification
Good bite - because you did so well delaying your gratification
Corner bite - because you hope the richness of The Good Bite will transfer somewhat
Navigating the last corner:
-
Rotate for a heavily crust>content corner bite - the build up
-
Deliberately smaller, last of the crust bite - the set up
Last Good Bite - smaller than The Good Bite but, equally, aren't you clever
X 2
Cut your sandwich into triangles. This gives you 4x good bites & 8x corner bites without size differences.

I didn't know sandwiches can bite
It would appear to be approximately 2,982,609 bytes.
I prefer my sandwich tar.xz compressed over .zip
Bro, nibble the crust first, then there are so many glorious crustless bites. Or just cut it off.
I normally do a ton of nibbles. What's the conversion rate of nibbles to bites? And are chomps just a US unit of measurement?
A nibble, four bits, is half a byte, eight bits.
Doing everything to dogde the metric system 🇺🇸🦅
The Internet was never the same after Europe adopted the 10-bit metric byte.
This would make for an awesome Cyberpunk TTRPG setting… an evil villain letting free a virus that transforms every bit into a 10-bit metric byte. Items being unusable unless decoded, etc.
All units that use body parts are US ones.
How many foreskins is that?
Your size or mine?
I quite like the crust, but could you not slice the crust off? That would likely improve the bread to crust ratio considerably.
I like crust too though
All of them.
I'm sorry.
From now on, 25. I actually wish there was bread that had the dividing lines
What if the bread is... Not square?
(Ingredients-1)^2^ +2

How can there be -3 bites in a sandwich?
You eat the sandwich in 9 bites. Then you vomit back up the sandwich plus 12 bites of the last thing you ate
You dropped it or it was stolen by a magpie or gull before you finished.
I would agree with this. The rational part of me likes to try and eat a sandwich in a 3x3 grid of bites, right-to-left, working my way downward.
But, I'm a wacky, inconsistent li'l bitch, so it almost never works out that way. But, I don't think I ever exceed 12 bites. That's a pretty solid ballpark range.
