A very important question has been asked on Twitter, but the answer has yet to be agreed upon.

What is the correct way to cut toast?

It all began when Twitter user @shopperbarbie48 posted a picture of three toast slices, all cut in different ways, and asked social media users which one was correct.

"Settle a family feud for me. Which is the right way to cut toast??" they wrote.

One Twitter user wrote, "Whatever way you want, triangles make me feel like I'm in a hotel," others were much more heated with their responses to the question.

Another added: "1 or 2 are acceptable. 3 is blasphemy."

A third chimed in: "3 is only acceptable in a 2 and 1/2 sausages on toast situation! The others are both fine."

While a fourth argued in favor of the third answer, but they were quickly rebuked by a fifth, who wrote: "Don't be silly. You've got to cut the toast so that the kids can nibble away the good bits and leave their crusts on the plate."

The sausage on toast option was also referenced by another Twitter user, who wrote: "Depends, simple round of toast, 1, sausage sandwich 2 [sic]."

Meanwhile, one person decided when each option would be acceptable.

They wrote: "1: if you're in a hotel /BnB 2: if yer in the hoose 3: if your.... tuned tae the moon [sic]."

But not everyone felt like they could comment on the important issue, with one gluten-free user writing: "I am gluten-free. And the best bread comes in miniature size slices, so I don't have to cut it in half. Sorry I can't help."

Then there was this Twitter user, who argued that all four presented options were wrong.

They wrote: "They're all wrong. The right way is trapezium - all the joy of triangles but with additional structural integrity (you can fit more fillings in & it won't fall apart on you)."

What do you think? Is there a right or a wrong way to cut toast, or is this a simple case of each to their own? Let us known in the comments.
