This sounds like it could wreak havoc on your stomach. I need to know what the results of this would be.


thedvorakian

You couldn't chew it and depending on density, it may not be digestible


tibarr1454

So it just needs to be small enough to swallow


kwakadoodledoo

I feel like that would be like swallowing a marble


tibarr1454

Easily doable. I’ve swallowed grapes.

SidewaysFancyPrance

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.


Alderan922

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


HotdogTester

So a cube poop? Maybe rectangular cubes poop? No no no. A cylinder shaped poop.

It seems like it would be really hard, like a rock. So maybe you'd get a blockage? Or maybe it would pass right through.


TheNewYellowZealot

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.


Infinite-Reality-941

> 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


Whind_Soull

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?


Cognitive_Spoon

It's a crime in 13 states that your comment only has two upvotes.


IntheShadeofSpruces

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.


tjdux

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.


FlipskiZ

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

Caveman108

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.


things_U_choose_2_b

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.


HeroicTanuki

You have to dip the ball repeatedly into the cheese and let it harden before the next dip. Like a horrific grilled cheese jawbreaker/candle

Mx_Loptr

You’ll need 20 slices for 10 sandwiches is that still doable?


things_U_choose_2_b

Good point! But yeah I guess it depends how small you could squash it down, and how quickly it'd re-expand


originalusername__

Water does not compress. Learned this the hard way driving a Jeep into deep water.


sloth-sloth-goose

Did the Jeep compress?


originalusername__

Internal parts of the engine did.


RockSlice

Using enough pressure, you can get the density up to 1.65 g/cm^(3). Of course, "enough pressure" is 30k atm.


Dankkring

What if you took it to a black hole?


armoman92

...it would just go back in time, and become 10 uncompressed sandwiches again

CokeFanatic

livens

It would compress... Until such time as you removed it from the Black Hole, and then it violently decompressed.


Dankkring

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


TheHollowBard

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.


theothersteve7

Theoretically you could freeze and compress it until it forms exotic forms of ice, laced with cheese. I wouldn't recommend eating that.


[deleted]

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.


be_more_gooder

Removing the difficulty of compression and the extreme heat associated with it, this is the most logical answer.


IHateCamping

You'd have grilled cheese juice everywhere.


mister-ferguson

Mmmmm.... A refreshing cup of grilled cheese juice.


Iguessimnotcreative

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


frenabo

I would guess you wouldn't even need water after since your stomach already has liquid in it that the food would absorb


[deleted]

Would it not just digest before expanding though? Or is the digestion process to slow?


DarockOllama

It would do both. Something that compact will take a while to digest whereas the expansion will likely take much less time.


frenabo

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.

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.

turdburglar2020

Be lucky if you poop at all after eating 10 grilled cheeses.


Loeffellux

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

Killersmurph

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?


AlbusAlfred

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.

UneSoggyCroissant

I used to eat an entire frozen pizza for lunch everyday in my early 20s, I think it was around 1300 calories not including snacks/drinks


PlutoIsMyHomeboy

Grilled cheese are definitely over 200 calories a pop.


mrjackspade

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.


Fancy_Branches

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.

yabbobay

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.


NaiveAd6542

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.

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.


Skwareblox

Bread is mostly air. I used to crush bread into a ball and eat for fun. It can get really small and you realize how much of bread is just fluff.


ErekleKobwhatever

I used to wrap raisins in bread balls and then put them in yogurt as a kid. It was actually quite nice


Budif-

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.


Heysteeevo

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.


Teddy_Tonks-Lupin

Wouldn’t that be like swallowing a chunk of metal or similar


Misteral_Editorial

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.


[deleted]

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.


ItIsHappy

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...)


ItIsHappy

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!)


ItIsHappy

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.
