Size It Up Food & Drink answer: September 25
The five Food & Drink silhouettes for September 25, with the true sizes. If you have not played yet, this page is a spoiler — play these five first, then come back to argue with the numbers.
Day 22 ran from a dinner roll (6.35 cm) to a flour tortilla (25.4 cm). The widest gap was round 2, Asian Pear against Flour Tortilla, at 4.0×; the closest call was round 5, Carrot against Glazed Doughnut, only 1.5× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
