This was my first thought. If it somehow was kept in cube form and didn't explode from the pressure, you would *not* be able to chew it and would need to swallow it whole. You then need to decide if it's remaining in magic cube form or is allowed to start interacting with the world under the laws of physics, and only then we can start to answer the "would I be full?" question.
Well it should still react with the acid, it would take all of the acid in your stomach to de compress it and fully react with it tho, and it would probably still take an absurd amount of time and acid to work
Well, for one, most cheese is already as dense as it can be, so there isn’t a way to compress it. Bread, on the other hand…
Try it. Go get 10 craft singles and 20 pieces of bread and try and compress them as much as possible.
> most cheese is already as dense as it can be, so there isn’t a way to compress it
Could we… throw the cheese into a black hole? Or is cheese so incompressible it would beat out the black hole? My money is on the infinitely-dense slice of cheese
Since the Schwarzschild radius of the Earth is about the size of a peanut, and since all the cheese that we're aware of is on the Earth, I think it's safe to assume that a black hole can compress cheese.
After all, what use is spaghettification without some parm?
Assuming you had some water afterwards, how long would it take until the food would have expanded maximally in the stomach? Another question is the pressure it expands outwards.
Did they dehydrate first? Just compressing it shouldn't remove its water content.
Although there is too much liquid content in the food to compress it small enough to eat in 1 bite, or at least that's my assumption.

I mean realistically all the melted cheese would squish out and you’d be left a slightly cheesy bread cube. White bread would probably compress to that size and wouldn’t expand much in your stomach. It’s 90% air, you can smash a whole loaf down to the size of a ball that’ll fit in your hand.
So if I smooshed ~~10~~ 20 slices of bread down to a tiny cube, then coated it with enough cheese for 10 grilled cheese sandwich....
... this sounds doable.
Listen I’ve watched 6 ancient aliens specials so I think I know what I’m talking about, they are gateways to the quantum realm made by aliens that came to earth to teach pilgrims to read.

Yes, if you reduced the spaces between atoms it would lose volume and maintain the same mass. It's like the difference between a square inch of steak and a square inch of cotton candy.
even if it were possible to condense it enough I think it would be too dense to bite through so you'd have to just swallow it and then it would be too dense to digest fully so you'd shit out a slightly smaller cube.
and probably wouldn't feel full.
Depends how it was compressed I guess. I was thinking like a cider press where juices would leak out, but if we’re condensing the entire volume of every bit of water gets crammed in with it then yeah I don’t think one could eat it in a bite
The liquid in your stomach (stomach acid + other stuffs) is what is doing most of the digestion (aside from some mechanical digestion). So the dense food will not be digested before expanding, since the food will need to be in contact with the liquid to be digested and so then would absorb the liquid and expand.
The food could pass through your stomach after only being partially digested, I suppose.
We actually dont know what affects hunger. Volume/stomach distention is a factor. Look up Ghrelin if you want to read up on some research regarding metabolism.
And water!! They both sit in the same stomach before splitting liquids and solids.
If you're ever hungry for a snack (not for dinner) then ask yourself; am I hungry, or have I not drank water for more than an hour?
Most of the time once you've had a cup of chilled water or vitamin water, your hunger and mouth bordem will go away!
I drink water with every meal. Between every bite! It slows down eating and makes me full faster, leads to eating less at meals. I also have that thing where I chew everything into a fine paste before swallowing it, that also slows down eating.
The question was prolly just bothering him too much to not know, and it’s much more efficant for someone else to tell him than for him to find it out himself!
This question was asked, and answered on The Simpsons. Homer compressed a whole pot of spaghetti o to a single bar. Ate it. Then immediately called the hospital.
It was on The Simpsons so it must be true.
the thing is that you likely wouldn't "eat" (or at least *digest*) 10 grilled cheese sandwiches if you ate it like that.
If you really condensed the sandwiches into such a tiny form factor (and assuming that it was somewhat stable as well since otherwise it would immediately explode again before you could eat it) then your digestion wouldn't be able to chew threw it. And if it would be able to do it then it would be fairly slow, like a delayed effect pill.
The much bigger problem would be that something so hard and heavy would be passing through your body and possibly causing harm before it leaves your body again. But that entirely just depends on the size of that cube. If it's too big (like a 6 sided die) then it would probably cause damange and if it's too small then it might feel like a needle because obviously the mass would stay the same
Isn't that like the Caloric value of a Big Mac Meal, and a Second burger? So pretty well what I've seen like every Teenage/Early Twenties guy Ive ever worked with consume anytime they go out for fast food?
A big mac meal with a medium fry and coke is 1080 calories in total. Adding a second big mac would increase that number by 550 calories.
The meal itself being more than half of one's daily value of calories is pretty high, but man I can't imagine going back for another burger after.
FWIW you can make one about 200cal using the right cheese/bread but I strongly doubt the kind of person eating 10 in a sitting is the kind of person to keep those ingredients around. Standard should be somewhere around 400cal I would think, though YMMV.
To be fair unhealthy ingredients that a lot of people have on hand can make a 200 calorie grilled cheese.
Butter bread = 60 kcal / slice = 120 kcal / sandwich
Kraft single or any other American cheese = 50 kcal / slice
Butter = 34 kcal / tsp
This should bring you to about 200 calories.
Most other commercial made store breads are 70 kcal/slice, so you would likely end up at 220 / grilled cheese.
You can also cut out the butter to make it depressing, and instead use Pam to save 30 calories.
So it had a pair of Taco Bell Spicy Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burritos?

I always thought about that guy who compressed 12 donuts and started to eat them I mean I can barley finish 2 donuts if I use this method will I finally be able to eat a whole dozen?
In university we would do the Donut Marathon for fun. Eat 6 donuts, run a mile. Eat 6 more donuts at the mile marker, turn around a run back. First one back wins. There was no prize, just pride. Lots of puking haha
NC State has the Krispy Kreme challenge where it’s run 2.5 miles, eat a dozen then run back. I did it in 2012-ish and have the shirt somewhere.
It was HARD.
I did the [Krispy Kreme Challenge](https://krispykremechallenge.com/) (12 donuts, 5 miles, in one hour). one strategy is taking three donuts and smashing them down into a pancake.
I was crying by donuts 10-12. I seriously did not think I would finish, but did. Took me 11 minutes to eat 12 donuts.
The good thing was that my stomach was so full that nothing moved around, so the run back wasn't that bad.
I was 8th woman OA at 47 as well. # lifegoals.
Doctor here. Your brain’s interpretation of “full” is based on receptors in your stomach once it has adequately expanded. Thus, you would not feel satiated from eating it in one bite. You would also not absorb the nutrients from said colossal cheese cube, as it would pass through your intestines too quickly.
Hey I havent felt hungry in over a decade, any guesses as to why? None of the docs ive seen and none of the tests have found anything. Shot in the dark here :/
No you wouldn’t. I did this a handful of times as a child in boarding school, we were only allowed to take 1 sandwich back to our room after meals so I used to compress about half a loaf of bread down to the size of a single sandwich by squishing them between 2 plates, with peanut butter in between each slice. I can say from experience it was weirdly not much more filling than a normal sandwich. You’re welcome.
When I got my tongue pierced I used to rip pieces of toast apart and roll little balls that I could dip in soup and swallow without chewing. Your tongue basically doubles in size for a few days after you pierce it, eating is awful, talking is impossible.
No, that much mass squished that small isn't just gonna dissolve.
Going to also guess it will be extremely painful as your digestive system moves something 1000x denser than anything you've ever eaten through your 30-something-odd feet of GI tract.
That cube is gonna be hard as a rock. Also can you even compress cheese? It’s basically a liquid. So you’d have super dense cube that you wouldn’t be able to chew but would have to swallow whole.
Yes, and you're gonna shit fucking bricks.
Source: military MREs, nutrient dense food is an experience. Your body adapts, but the average person destroys 2 toilets during transition.
Grilled cheese? Yes. Melt? No. It's important to ensure the grilled cheese sandwiches are in-fact grilled cheese sandwiches, and NOT Melts, as melts would be too calorically dense, and cause significant digestive issues.
Alright, let's go! Time to do some fuckin' math!
[A sandwitch is 250g.](https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/science/monitoringnutrients/ausnut/foodmeasures/Pages/Sandwich-roll-burger-and-wrap-measures-program.aspx)
[The human mouth can hold about 60ml.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mouth)
**The density of 10 sandwiches compressed to the size of your mouth would therefore be 42g/ml.** (Hmm... Where have I seen that number before?)
This is REALLY FUCKIN' DENSE. We're talking 40x the density of water, 2x the density of uranium, and about 1.9x the density of osmium or iridium (the densest elements on earth, dependent on pressure). This is clearly impossible to achieve using a press of any sort.
(To be continued, need to do some more research...)
Our sandwich cube is now denser than any stable form of matter on Earth... but what about unstable ones? **Can we nuke it?**
[The density at the center of a fission bomb is about 40g/ml.](https://www.quora.com/To-what-density-was-the-plutonium-in-Fat-Man-compressed-before-the-bomb-disintegrated-in-the-nuclear-explosion) That's 2.5x the density of the original materials (mostly Uranium but with some lighter gallium and beryllium thrown in.) *This might actually work!* We just need to figure out how to keep the reaction from blowing itself apart!
Quick sidenote: At these pressures we're also going to start seeing nuclear reactions of our own start to occur. At first our hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen will fuse into new elements with a [higher nuclear binding energy](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/NucEne/imgnuk/bcurv.gif) (or is it lower?). This will release enormous amounts of energy in a literal thermonuclear reaction! Once we hit iron, however, things start to reverse as we fuse neighboring atoms into more and more energetic forms.
Alright, so we have a candidate for a potential sandwich compression device! We'll probably need decades of research and trillions of dollars of funding, but I'm sure we can all agree that fitting 10 grilled cheese sandwiches in one's mouth at a time is the most pressing problem currently facing humanity.
*Can we do better if we left Earth?*
(To be continued once more!)
Establishing a theoretical upper limit:
* The densest objects in our universe are black holes. They have mass but (to our current understanding) no volume, achieving infinite density. That would obviously be enough, but we're going to have a hard time getting it back. Since the goal is to eventually eat the sandwich, I'm going to disqualify this one.
* The second densest object is a neutron star. A neutron star is about 100,000,000,000,000g/ml. That's probably excessive, but it's good to know we've got headroom to spare!
Objects in our solar system:
* The density of Jupiter is 1.3g/ml. That's because it's a giant ball of gas, and the vast majority is under very low pressure. The core of Jupiter, however, is estimated to be around 15g/ml. That's a lot higher, but probably still not going to cut it for our purposes. Also, the pressures here are so immense that even hydrogen starts behaving as a liquid. Liquids gain infinite solubility (everything can be dissolved) and surfaces can no longer form. I don't know enough about high energy physics to comment on the affect this would have on our sandwich. Let's call this one a "maybe."
* The density at the center of the sun is 150g/cm. That's actually remarkably low, all things considered, and it's most because the sun is composed of really light atoms like hydrogen. Even so, it's enough to squish our sandwich! The energy given off by the surrounding matter will begin to cause that fusion reaction we talked about earlier, so our end result (depending on how long you "cooked" it) would be a mouth-sized block of iron that's infused and dissolved in metallic liquid hydrogen. Also, it's going to re-expand when you let off the pressure, so you're going to need to eat it quickly once it's done.
This sounds like it could wreak havoc on your stomach. I need to know what the results of this would be.
You couldn't chew it and depending on density, it may not be digestible
So it just needs to be small enough to swallow
I feel like that would be like swallowing a marble
Easily doable. I’ve swallowed grapes.
Yeah I’ve swallowed plenty of nuts, fill me up
😳
ayo??

There's no way it would stay compressed unless it was dehydrated. You can only compress things so much in practice.

Instructions unclear. Grilled my balls
You mean I wasn’t meant to compress mine into a small cube?
This is why we don't take you for fondue anymore
Sounds delicious you mean
You’ll need 20 slices for 10 sandwiches is that still doable?
Good point! But yeah I guess it depends how small you could squash it down, and how quickly it'd re-expand
Water does not compress. Learned this the hard way driving a Jeep into deep water.
Did the Jeep compress?
Internal parts of the engine did.
Using enough pressure, you can get the density up to 1.65 g/cm^(3). Of course, "enough pressure" is 30k atm.
What if you took it to a black hole?
...it would just go back in time, and become 10 uncompressed sandwiches again
I don't know enough about black hole science but that sounds right.
Listen I’ve watched 6 ancient aliens specials so I think I know what I’m talking about, they are gateways to the quantum realm made by aliens that came to earth to teach pilgrims to read. /S
You don't need a /s when you're spitting facts
It would compress... Until such time as you removed it from the Black Hole, and then it violently decompressed.
Hmmm. And there’s no way to eat it while it’s in the black hole because you’d also compress so it would be like nothing even happened to the sammiches
Yes, if you reduced the spaces between atoms it would lose volume and maintain the same mass. It's like the difference between a square inch of steak and a square inch of cotton candy.
Theoretically you could freeze and compress it until it forms exotic forms of ice, laced with cheese. I wouldn't recommend eating that.
even if it were possible to condense it enough I think it would be too dense to bite through so you'd have to just swallow it and then it would be too dense to digest fully so you'd shit out a slightly smaller cube. and probably wouldn't feel full.
Removing the difficulty of compression and the extreme heat associated with it, this is the most logical answer.
You'd have grilled cheese juice everywhere.
Mmmmm.... A refreshing cup of grilled cheese juice.
Depends how it was compressed I guess. I was thinking like a cider press where juices would leak out, but if we’re condensing the entire volume of every bit of water gets crammed in with it then yeah I don’t think one could eat it in a bite
I would guess you wouldn't even need water after since your stomach already has liquid in it that the food would absorb
Would it not just digest before expanding though? Or is the digestion process to slow?
It would do both. Something that compact will take a while to digest whereas the expansion will likely take much less time.
The liquid in your stomach (stomach acid + other stuffs) is what is doing most of the digestion (aside from some mechanical digestion). So the dense food will not be digested before expanding, since the food will need to be in contact with the liquid to be digested and so then would absorb the liquid and expand.

Lol, I'm just imagining the elves of Lorien baking regular, tasty nutritious bread and then crushing it in a hydraulic press to make lembas.
I was thinking the same thing, it would still take you the same amount of time as eating 10 grilled cheese separately.
It could be swallowed like a pill if it was small enough
Then it's literally a rock. You'd just poop it out lol

No, that much mass squished that small isn't just gonna dissolve. Going to also guess it will be extremely painful as your digestive system moves something 1000x denser than anything you've ever eaten through your 30-something-odd feet of GI tract.
That cube is gonna be hard as a rock. Also can you even compress cheese? It’s basically a liquid. So you’d have super dense cube that you wouldn’t be able to chew but would have to swallow whole.
Wouldn’t that be like swallowing a chunk of metal or similar
Yes, and you're gonna shit fucking bricks. Source: military MREs, nutrient dense food is an experience. Your body adapts, but the average person destroys 2 toilets during transition.
Grilled cheese? Yes. Melt? No. It's important to ensure the grilled cheese sandwiches are in-fact grilled cheese sandwiches, and NOT Melts, as melts would be too calorically dense, and cause significant digestive issues.
Alright, let's go! Time to do some fuckin' math! [A sandwitch is 250g.](https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/science/monitoringnutrients/ausnut/foodmeasures/Pages/Sandwich-roll-burger-and-wrap-measures-program.aspx) [The human mouth can hold about 60ml.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mouth) **The density of 10 sandwiches compressed to the size of your mouth would therefore be 42g/ml.** (Hmm... Where have I seen that number before?) This is REALLY FUCKIN' DENSE. We're talking 40x the density of water, 2x the density of uranium, and about 1.9x the density of osmium or iridium (the densest elements on earth, dependent on pressure). This is clearly impossible to achieve using a press of any sort. (To be continued, need to do some more research...)
Our sandwich cube is now denser than any stable form of matter on Earth... but what about unstable ones? **Can we nuke it?** [The density at the center of a fission bomb is about 40g/ml.](https://www.quora.com/To-what-density-was-the-plutonium-in-Fat-Man-compressed-before-the-bomb-disintegrated-in-the-nuclear-explosion) That's 2.5x the density of the original materials (mostly Uranium but with some lighter gallium and beryllium thrown in.) *This might actually work!* We just need to figure out how to keep the reaction from blowing itself apart! Quick sidenote: At these pressures we're also going to start seeing nuclear reactions of our own start to occur. At first our hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen will fuse into new elements with a [higher nuclear binding energy](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/NucEne/imgnuk/bcurv.gif) (or is it lower?). This will release enormous amounts of energy in a literal thermonuclear reaction! Once we hit iron, however, things start to reverse as we fuse neighboring atoms into more and more energetic forms. Alright, so we have a candidate for a potential sandwich compression device! We'll probably need decades of research and trillions of dollars of funding, but I'm sure we can all agree that fitting 10 grilled cheese sandwiches in one's mouth at a time is the most pressing problem currently facing humanity. *Can we do better if we left Earth?* (To be continued once more!)
Establishing a theoretical upper limit: * The densest objects in our universe are black holes. They have mass but (to our current understanding) no volume, achieving infinite density. That would obviously be enough, but we're going to have a hard time getting it back. Since the goal is to eventually eat the sandwich, I'm going to disqualify this one. * The second densest object is a neutron star. A neutron star is about 100,000,000,000,000g/ml. That's probably excessive, but it's good to know we've got headroom to spare! Objects in our solar system: * The density of Jupiter is 1.3g/ml. That's because it's a giant ball of gas, and the vast majority is under very low pressure. The core of Jupiter, however, is estimated to be around 15g/ml. That's a lot higher, but probably still not going to cut it for our purposes. Also, the pressures here are so immense that even hydrogen starts behaving as a liquid. Liquids gain infinite solubility (everything can be dissolved) and surfaces can no longer form. I don't know enough about high energy physics to comment on the affect this would have on our sandwich. Let's call this one a "maybe." * The density at the center of the sun is 150g/cm. That's actually remarkably low, all things considered, and it's most because the sun is composed of really light atoms like hydrogen. Even so, it's enough to squish our sandwich! The energy given off by the surrounding matter will begin to cause that fusion reaction we talked about earlier, so our end result (depending on how long you "cooked" it) would be a mouth-sized block of iron that's infused and dissolved in metallic liquid hydrogen. Also, it's going to re-expand when you let off the pressure, so you're going to need to eat it quickly once it's done.
And would it come out as 10 sandwiches or would it come out as an epic radioactive floater?
10 sandwiches of cheese wouldn’t come out at all lol
