A heated discussion has erupted on Twitter that has everyone talking.

The topic, of course, is how to cut toast.

The question was posed by Sheffield Hallam University, who presented tweeters with three options: diagonal cut, cutting it across horizontally, and cutting it vertically.

Sure, it’s just toast and you’re probably thinking, does it really matter? But if the reaction on Twitter is anything to go by, it does.

I mean – imagine you met the love of your life and then you found out that they cut their toast like #ToastNumber3!
You'd have to really examine your conscience with that one! #NoToToastNumber3
