Size It Up Food & Drink answer: October 3
The five Food & Drink silhouettes for October 3, 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 30 ran from a lime (5.08 cm) to a pepperoni pizza (30.48 cm). The widest gap was round 3, Chocolate Chip Cookie against Pepperoni Pizza, at 5.3×; the closest call was round 1, Onion against Sweet Potato, only 2.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
