How do you slice your bagel? Debate heats up on social media

Any way you slice it, social media has become the place to debate — even how a person slices his bagel for consumption.

Twitter user Alek Krautmann tweeted a photo of a "St. Louis secret" showing boxes of bagels sliced vertically, like loaves of bread.

Other twitter users responded in disbelief at the practice and tweeted back. One included a photo of hands holding New England clam chowder, and another showing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made with the condiments on the outside of the sandwich instead of together on the inside.
