Side question: Why do people buy baguettes? Do they make sandwiches with them? How do you even make a sandwich from them? How are you meant to beat a baguette???

    The rectangular loaf became popular due to packing efficiency. You can fit more of them in less space.

      Hello my name is Doug, I’m 40+ years old and I’m a fucking idiot.

      I mean I guess part of me knew, I have been to Subway and watched them slice the fucking bread. But when I see baguettes at the store I think “hm, just like Olive Garden, I can make tiny baguette slices!” I don’t think “yeah time to make some killer sandwiches.”

      …I’m going to blame my autism for this one. It probably isn’t true, but I’m gonna blame it anyway.

      Pro tip: Cut the baguette in a 45° angle.

      It makes the first bite easier, and it looks better.

          I think OP should at least explain why they had this question. Such as being an alien from another planet, being visually impaired, grew up in a remote amazon tribe, or whatever.
