Sandwich cut diagonally/triangular tastes better than rectangle

Everything tastes better with a good view.
It tastes even better when the view is framed by a tent doorway.
The meaning of life - there is no time off for good behaviour.
It tastes even better when the view is framed by a tent doorway.
got to disagree with this one, unless your tent doorway is actually attached to a proper kitchen, there’s no food that’s been invented yet that isn’t utterly ruined by being cooked by the sorts of kit campers often jovially call “a stove”
In the same way every item of buffet food tastes better than the full size version of the same food type.
How come you never see brown sea glass?

Sounds like you've never earned it tbh.
Why does an apple taste better if you slice it and eat it off the knife?
Something scientific to do with amount of tastebuds coming into contact with the slice of apple perhaps.
Don't spoil it with science!
Everything is better with a knife. Sharpening a pencil for instance.
Some language related issues to ponder over:-
Why do inflammable and flammable mean the same thing?
Why is monosyllabic such a long word?
Is there an alternative word for thesaurus?
What twisted mind decided the word lisp should have an s in it?
Fish supper in newspaper at the end of a big cycle.

Does that still happen? I don't think I have had the joys of black ink-stained fingers for a great many years.
Why did Zippy, George and Bungle run about all day absolutely bollock naked and then put on pyjamas to go to bed?

Why when you find your car keys are they always in the last place that you looked?
Toucan play at that game.
Put pizza in your mouth 'upside down' so the flavoured side hits your tongue* and taste buds first. It is a revelation in the pizza experience
*not if the cheese is still bubbling as that is a world of pain.

But I’m always taking the rubbish out, and I keep my room tidy...

Ye gods even I can’t remember quite back that far! On both counts 😎
What if buy fish supper wrapped in chip shop paper then empty onto own handy newspaper, re-wrap, then unwrap and eat?
Almost like time travel! P
* seconds thoughts, I can *just* remember chips in newspaper as a young kid. When fish tasted like fish and chips cooked in beef fat.
Ha ha ,no you now get chip shop wrapping paper printed to look like newspaper.
It's mostly so that old folk can reminisce 😉
I remember when these abominations appeared when I was about 10 and a big of chips cost 12p
Still - they were good for filling 1/3rd full of imitation vinegar which I could drink after the chips were finished.
Why do inflammable and flammable mean the same thing?
Because one came from Latin in- means "to cause to" and the other comes from a bad translation in about 1600.
Google told me that. In doesn't always mean not.
Similarly you can be disgruntled but you cannot be gruntled.
Cynic-al raises a good ponderance re fart in the bath. On a similar vein why am I disgusting if I let a ripper out but I'm supposed to laugh when she does.
Tea always* tastes better if someone else makes it.
*The exception being my MiL's which tastes of soap.
Similarly you can be disgruntled but you cannot be gruntled.

Tea always tastes better if it's been poured from a height.
This may be due to actual science but maybe not.

God damn it I misremembered. Yeah okay fine but I'm sure it has come from disgruntled rather than did being a prefix.

although technically it still isn't really a word, as it was made-up by PG Wodehouse for exactly the reason that josh suggests. for the same reason you can't be ****ful, shevelled, or chalant
Or ruthful or reckful
Why do inflammable and flammable mean the same thing?
They don't - flammable means it burns, inflammable means it explodes.
The taste thing is a real effect though. The people that design food know all about things like 'mouth feel' - which is probably why eating a sliced apple feels different to a whole one - and they take advantage of it. Why do we like tender meat when tough meat tastes the same?
And words that have a negative prefix in front aren't always the opposite of a positive concept. Like say, exfoliation for removing dead skin. You can't add dead skin by infoliating. Well - you could, but it's so weird there wouldn't be a word for it.
Another question though - why isn't entomology the study of a French international rugby playing family?
A cooked breakfast tastes better when someone else has cooked it and it is served to you.
Abbey beer always tastes better when served in a chalice. In fact there is a bar in Amsterdam where practically every beer has it's own glass. Heaven!!!
Ruthful is a word, kind of sorrow/remorse innit?
Sorry isn't the hardest word.
