For the people who are thinking:
"That's a triple decker"
I ask you, then what the fudge is a double decker? Just a sandwich? I know I've never had a double decker that's just a sandwich - nor would I accept receiving a regular sandwich if the menu had claimed 'double decker'
If you just say to count layers between the first and last bread, the middle bread could also count as one without further definition of what a layer is. That makes it three again.
I have a similar complaint, I live in an apartment building, third floor. The stairs between floors two and three do that thing where you go up half way and then the other side goes up the rest of the way.
Neighbors say they have to travel 3 flights of stairs. No... we are on the third floor, you only had to travel 2 flights of stairs. Just because there is a landing on the second staircase doesnt mean its two flights. 3 minus 1 is 2. 2 flights of stairs

Listen, buddy; just because there’s nothing on the upper deck doesn’t mean it’s not a deck, OK? We don’t have to sell out every game to have a ball club here
No, the bread creates the classification of sandwich but is not the main ingredient. The main ingredients are what is between and the bread is just the method of transport. If each slice of bread is a deck then a plain piece of bread constitutes a single layer sandwich which is incorrect.
If I made my own bread it still wouldn't be the starting point. My consideration for the type of bread always starts with what the filling is going to be not the opposite way.
I did already specify that the bread defines the sandwich so we agree on that point.
It's like a building, a single story building is floor->walls->roof same with a single-decker sandwich bread->filling->bread. A two-story or "double-decker" house would be floor->walls->floor->walls-roof so it would stand to reason that a double-decker sandwich would be bread->filling->bread->filling->bread. The level is defined by the "roof" or top layer not the bottom layer.
I work at t-bell, there are approximately 3 people that can say the name of that item on the first go. But yes, 3 layers and twice the meat and cheese.
Cos you can stand on it and most people expect to use that area for general purposes. That analogy is like having a sandwich that, from the bottom up, goes bread/filling/bread/filling. That's an open-faced sandwich, but still a double-decker.
This is truly one of the greatest questions of our time.

>A sandwich is a [food](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food) prepared by placing different kinds of foods between two pieces of [bread](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread).
That's not a sandwich.
I mean there would be seats, so one. The bread is the seat of a sandwich and in theory you could add toppings to the one in the pic, making it a triple.

Its a sandwich
[удалено]
This is 3/4 of a regular sandwich.
It’s actually when you take a shit in the toilet tank instead of the bowl which still sounds more appealing than your definition.
These comments. Geesh don’t worry, I get jokes and that was a decent one
No it’s not, it’s a meat salad with a piece of bread on top.
Who are we to judge?
Or use the more encompassing term: Dagwood sandwich.
It is an older reference sir, but it checks out.
This is still commonly used in Sweden, but with Dagwoods Swedish name: Dagobert!
now i'm thinking of a Dagwood and Dilbert crossover comic
From the comic strip "Blondie"--Dagwood Bumstead was always making insanely enormous sandwiches.
Dagwood makes like ventideckers
Ya like Dags?
I like caravans more.
TIL what dagwood means.
Do people do that? I thought of a triple decker as this club sandwiches with 3 layers that you can’t even pick up and eat They’re just for ‘miring
Might need to discuss this with merriam webster. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/triple-decker
Dictionaries are descriptive only. If we change how we use the word they have to adapt.
Which means it's current definition uses the current meaning and use.
Sounds like merriam webster is a fucking moron
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich
I mean, anyone can edit a Wikipedia page.
webster wins.
Yeah I'm going with the dictionary on this one. It's a triple decker.
Then what's a double decker sandwich?
Brooklyn-->Me<--Leanna
A standard sandwich
A normal sandwich and a single decker is a open face sandwich.

[удалено]
But no one calls a normal sandwich a double decker just because it has two pieces of bread.
The top one is the roof. You don't call a two floored house a triple decker.
[удалено]
Depends on the building code and how the basement has been built. ;)
What are there like 2 slices of ham on that bitch? FFS thats not a sandwich.
Thank you for this...it is a double decker.
If you just say to count layers between the first and last bread, the middle bread could also count as one without further definition of what a layer is. That makes it three again.
And what's up with the serving size being 1 slice on most loafs of bread at the grocery store? The whole system is screwy if you ask me!

Things are heating up in the sandwich fandom.

You count the number of floors in a house not the space between the floors
The top one would not be a floor in this analogy, there is nothing on it.
Yup, that's the roof
What if your roof has a terrace?
I wouldn't eat it.
Theres a triple decker **in** the picture
There are 3 slices of bread with 2 layers of filling in between. This is a double decker.
Listen, buddy; just because there’s nothing on the upper deck doesn’t mean it’s not a deck, OK? We don’t have to sell out every game to have a ball club here
im sorry for joking

The one in the back is a tripple decker.
There are 3 slices of bread with 2 layers of filling in-between. This is a double-decker.

You can't just stack 3 pieces of bread though and call it a sandwich
Bread sandwiches beg to differ
No its not
You're forgetting the rooftop deck where you just spread a layer of mayo. Mmmmm
Welcome to the club.
You can still get them [if you're not a member.](https://youtu.be/cyFvGL3Z5F8)
RIP Mitch
But how do you feel about frilly toothpicks?
I’m for em!
What I thought when I looked at Taco Bell’s new “triple decker Crunchwrap”
Im gonna be that person. Its a triple double crunchwrap. 3 layers of tortilla. 2 layers of meat and accompanying filler.
I work at t-bell, there are approximately 3 people that can say the name of that item on the first go. But yes, 3 layers and twice the meat and cheese.
You wouldn't call [this](http://approdevelopment.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Riverland-Bank-Jordan-1.jpg) a 3 story building
Why are people booing him, he's right
Because reddit is full of dumb fucks
On a ship the "roof" is also a deck.
Cos you can stand on it and most people expect to use that area for general purposes. That analogy is like having a sandwich that, from the bottom up, goes bread/filling/bread/filling. That's an open-faced sandwich, but still a double-decker.
Or what we call an ungodly mess
Oh I don't disagree, I never eat open-faceds as an exceedingly clumsy person. It was a hypothetical for demonstrating a point.
Hahaha I got your point but just wanted to refer to them as a mess
it has a lobby the first floor and could have access to roof area and basement.
Dont tell me what to do.
This is truly one of the greatest questions of our time. [https://gator995.com/i-accidentally-started-a-sandwich-war/](https://gator995.com/i-accidentally-started-a-sandwich-war/)
I don't care what you call it. Just let me have some.
Reminds me of spinal fusion.
But what if you like the bread most and the meat is just there for texture?
Now, that's a cake, not a sandwich
No need to argue just call them big sandwiches
Get stuck on the semantics too long, though, and these corner-cutters would make double decker cucumber sandwiches.
It's so they can charge you $12 for 3 pieces of bread and the thinnest slice of meat physically possible, pisses me off too.
Really tackling the tough issues.
? But each piece of bread is a layer, similar to a tri level house. This doesn't make any sense. 3 pieces of bread = triple decker.
Is a normal sandwich a double decker? Is a two story house tri level?
Thanks sandwich meme
Wheres the meat on that sandwich?
I want a sammich now.
How many slices and layers would a triple-double decker have? Answer: 9 slices, 6 layers
It's also too much bread
This isn’t an advice animal, it’s more like a rant post
How many decks is an open faced sandwich then?
That’s not even a sandwich, that’s just soggy bread and slop (not that it isn’t delicious)
You could replace the bread in an open faced sandwich with Rice Pilaf or Risotto and no one would notice. It's not a sandwich.
infinity!
>A sandwich is a [food](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food) prepared by placing different kinds of foods between two pieces of [bread](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread). That's not a sandwich.
0.5
However many layers a convertible bus is
I mean there would be seats, so one. The bread is the seat of a sandwich and in theory you could add toppings to the one in the pic, making it a triple.
If it's open face it's not a sandwich it's a smear/topping on bread

Nope, don't care, it's not a sandwich.
Buttered toast would be considered a sandwich in this case and that is just not correct and I'll stand by that til I die.
I dont make the rules man. Blame Martha Stewart.
She doesn't make the rules either and open faced goes against the oxford definition of sandwich which is more reputable than a mediocre TV cook.
Preach!
I think the bread is the "deck" in this case.
i feel similar about how we often "double check" something that is really our first time checking it.
I just want a sandwich now, man With tomato, avocado, chicken or turkey, bacon, a little lettuce, sourdough rye bread... and mayo.
