Size It Up Food & Drink answer: September 30
The five Food & Drink silhouettes for September 30, 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 27 ran from a pat of butter (2.54 cm) to a baguette (54.61 cm). The widest gap was round 4, Pat of Butter against Pita Bread, at 6.5×; the closest call was round 5, Honeydew Melon against Cucumber, only 1.6× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
