Size It Up Food & Drink answer: October 7
The five Food & Drink silhouettes for October 7, 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 34 ran from a beet (5.08 cm) to an apple pie (22.86 cm). The widest gap was round 1, Wine Glass against Beet, at 4.3×; the closest call was round 3, Rye Wafer against Soft Pretzel, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
