 9. Learn to stack your sandwich

Don’t stack your sandwich in a way that makes everything slip out. That just sucks. Instead, stack it like this: Cheese and meats touching the bread (because they grip it), then put slippery ingredients (lettuce, particularly) on the inside.

According to Food52, you’re going to want to grab a square of wax paper that is larger than your sandwich and twice as long as it is wide. Place the sandwich in the center and line the edges of the wax paper up to create a tent. Next, create a 3/4 inch fold and keep folding down until you reach the sandwich. Then, wrap like a present.
