Is this all BS or does it make sense to you? πŸ˜†
To me, it's psychological; triangular sandwiches always look more appetizing than rectangular ones.

Why do triangular sandwiches taste better than rectangular ones?

Several studies have confirmed this phenomenon. It seems that triangles give you more sandwich filling per bite. A triangular sandwich has two 45Β° corners that allow you to bite much further towards the middle on your first two bites, where there is more filling. This is followed up by a perfect, crustless third bite as you take the space left in the middle. Bite number four is, of course, mostly crust, but you can’t have everything!

When my kids were little, I used to cut their sandwiches into random puzzle pieces and scatter them on the plate. They got a kick out of it., Although if I was in a hurry and had to just lay them out, it resulted in funny looks.

Makes sense, no slipping of the meat

Are you allowed to eat sandwiches that aren't cut on the diagonal, after say, the age of 8 years old?

Easier to hold the sandwich and prevent things slipping out too.
More enjoyment.

Also perhaps, because they are obviously that little bit smaller, you make that little bit more effort to savour them, because you know they will be gone sooner.
