Much like walking, talking and breathing, eating toast is second nature to the carb-obsessed amongst us. But it turns out we might be doing it wrong.
The organisers behind Hallamnation, a student club night in the UK, sent the Internet into a frenzy when they posted a Tweet asking how people preferred their toast sliced.
Their query was accompanied by an image of the three different styles of slicing – diagonal, widthways and lengthways.

1 or 3 would be my preferred methods, as the surface area of the toast is evenly distributed between the two slices. 2 is just freaky and disturbing

Many also put forward options that weren’t originally offered.

While some were more preoccupied with the quality of the toasting rather than the way it was cut.
How you cut it is irrelevant if your toast is that colour! That’s basically still bread. It needs at least another 4 mins!!!
