    To be totally honest, sometimes I find food theory to be more intertaining than matpat's other channels just because not only is it one of the most relatable because well, it's literally about FOOD, but also because it tends to be the most light-hearted of all. It's kinda nice to have a break from dead children once in a while. Also, Popeyes master-race.

    The packaging discussion got me thinking maybe MatPat will do a "best way to pack your lunch" theory? Especially for sandwiches... what's the best way to keep your buns dry and veggies crisp for hours? I also think a tuna/egg salad sandwich (rather than a chicken sandwich) should be considered to determine how to stack your sandwich to minimize sogginess.

    • @blakesuperior3578
      @blakesuperior3578 2 года назад +4

      For egg/tuna salad sandwiches put a leaf of lettuce on each side this prevents the saucy inwards from turning your bread into a soggy mess by lunch while also providing a crunch for a more satisfying sandwich. For your veggies put them in a little sealable bowl like container filled with ice water this chills them which slows down them degrading from heat while also keeping them underwater away from oxygen that degrades them quickly as well.

      @DragonEdge10 2 года назад +2

      @@HH-le1vi Not necessarily true. There are measures one can take to "reset" without too much collateral, or in cases of booms it could happen naturally, but the main issue is that you can't compare today's economy to the prices of prior economies without adjusting for inflation and income increases. In general, though income inequality remains a growing issue, the US has experienced constant and steady inflation that is usually on par with or outpaced by the growth of income due to said inflation, so it's not completely fair to compare a chicken sandwich from the early 2000s to one today in price, because when adjusted for inflation they come out fairly similar. Though that said, it is true that over the prices have begun to creep up noticeably past what you could've gotten a decade prior for the same value of money, and the pandemic certainly didn't/doesn't help.
