Size It Up Food & Drink answer: October 2
The five Food & Drink silhouettes for October 2, 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 29 ran from a pat of butter (2.54 cm) to a wine bottle (28.9 cm). The widest gap was round 3, Peach against Wine Bottle, at 4.3×; the closest call was round 5, Cantaloupe against Ear of Sweet Corn, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
