Simply 17 very tasty fake sandwich facts
It’s rare for a member of the aristocracy to start a revolution, but back in the 18th century, that’s what John Montagu did.
Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, had his servants put beef between slices of bread, allowing him to eat one-handed and continue his game of cards.
It wasn’t the first time bread had been used to hold other food, but it certainly made it fashionable and gave it its name.
Those are actual sandwich facts – thanks, Wikipedia – but Twitter had some alternative sandwich facts – fake, if you will.
