Size It Up Food & Drink answer: October 8
The five Food & Drink silhouettes for October 8, 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 35 ran from an Asian pear (6.35 cm) to a pepperoni pizza (30.48 cm). The widest gap was round 1, Wine Bottle against Asian Pear, at 4.6×; the closest call was round 5, Pineapple Slice against Cabbage, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
