How To Eat A Sandwich – The Next Bite Test
Ham and Cheese Sandwich in white bread with tomato and lettuce
You’ve been warned – you’ll contemplate this all day. It’s a simple question “Which one would be your next bite? A, B, or C” (see TikTok below).
How to Eat A Sandwich – The Next Bite Test
First off, take a minute and look at this TikTok about the sandwich and what bite you’ll take next.
So where’s your mind on this? A, B, or C
Let’s consider what we just saw…and remember, the question is “What’s the NEXT bite…not THE BEST bite”. (that’s why we said “How to eat a sandwich – the next bite test”)
Option A is some decent filling, and crust. Option B is the center of the sandwich, where all the good stuff is at. And Option C is the other crust.
People are saying you should go for C first to get it out of the way, before you fully enjoy option B. Or do you just jump in and go for B (which is obviously the best bite, right?).
I’d go for A, then C and then B – knock out the crust bites and shape that sandwich the way I want it to get the perfect bite. (and yes, I spent too much time thinking about this…lol).

A 'Definitive' Ranking Of The 5 Fast-Food Restaurants
The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) recently shared a study that details the top fast-food chains in the country based on customer satisfaction. While I agree with the top choice, the others are questionable. And hey, taste is subjective. I’m something of a fast-food restaurant connoisseur. Â So, here I will re-rank the country’s top five fast-food restaurant chains based on personal experience. (Hence, “Definitive” in quotes in the headline.)
First, let’s examine the numbers in this report, as there are certainly some valuable points to consider. It appears as if their customer satisfaction entails 11 important factors. These include areas such as the accuracy of food orders, staff courtesy, and cleanliness. Another important measurement these days is the efficiency of the chain’s app.
The ACSI report is based on 16,250 customers who were surveyed. Their top five looked like this:
- #1 Chick-fil-A
- #2 Jimmy Johns
- #3 KFC
- #4 Papa John
- #5 Domino’s
Technically “other” landed at number three, but for the sake of top brands, that is the top of the list.
Re-Ranking Methodology
While I do like the variety in cuisine displayed in ACSI’s list, I am surprised at many of the names I see there. To create this ranking, I did follow and considered the customer satisfaction criteria previously laid out in the survey. Though I am a drive-thru-first type of person, I will quickly peel out of the parking lot if I detect the joint doesn’t look like it takes cleanliness seriously. Regardless of how much I am craving that chicken sandwich. In other words, those scored questions are legit measurements.
It’s worth mentioning that I travel quite a bit as well. Whether taking my kids to a weekend lacrosse tournament or heading south to visit family, a fast-food meal is often all I have time for. Nonetheless, I don’t just stop for anything, and I do aim for the healthiest option possible (most of the time).
So, imagine I just pulled off a magical interstate exit where all of these fast food restaurants had an open establishment. I’m considering the criteria points ACSI has laid out, and looking for a quality meal. Here is my official re-ranking of the top five fast-food restaurant chains in the country.
*Side-note, the ACSI also includes statistic results on full-service chain restaurants. That is not applicable to my ranking, but Chili’s is the clear number one, with all the rest being second.
