Size It Up Food & Drink answer: October 10
The five Food & Drink silhouettes for October 10, 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 37 ran from a strawberry (3.492 cm) to a pepperoni pizza (30.48 cm). The widest gap was round 3, Asparagus Spear against Strawberry, at 4.5×; the closest call was round 1, Sweet Potato against Buttermilk Biscuit, only 2.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
