The last great internet debate of 2017 is: How should you cut your toast?

Slicing up the truth about toast

How do you cut your toast? It matters.

Just as 2017 comes to a close, the internet isn't done arguing with itself for the year yet. The most recent flame war is over how people cut their toast, and why any other answer than the one you choose is wrong.

Twitter user, hallamnation fired the first shots over the weekend by tweeting three debatable options for the preferred methods of cutting toast.

After that bread pops out the toaster and you smother it with butter you have a variety of cutting options.

While most choices ended up being the first or second choice, people were utterly confused about the third.

Those sad people who cut their toast vertically were quickly shamed.

One person held nothing back with their disdain.

People have been debating many things since the beginning of time, but now toast demands everyone's attention.

At the end of the day, bread is good no matter how you decide to slice it up.
