A Southampton former chef spent £80 to rank every Tesco sandwich and has caused a stir among other meal deal fans.
Becca Stock was shopping on Friday, August 2 when she thought to buy 31 meal deals and test which sandwich tasted the best.
The 27-year-old shared her thoughts on TikTok after spending two hours taking two or three bites of the sandwiches and giving it a score out of ten.
Ironically, the Sausage, Egg and Bacon Triple, which the retail supermarket revealed was their most popular sandwich in 2023, only finished in 14th place - with Becca claiming it had 'gone downhill this year'.
However, the video has attracted a contrast in opinions with some users praising her "dedication" to food reviewing and feeling "validated" when she praised their favourites.
She says Tesco has "ruined it" because the "sausage doesn't taste as nice" and they've gone "really skimpy" with the tomato sauce.
Others said they "disagree wholeheartedly" with most of Becca's judgments and others debated her decision to rate the plain ham and plain chicken highly.
The former chef rated Pulled BBQ Beef at number one because it "melts in the mouth" followed by The Chicken Club, which is praised for its "peppery taste" and amount of chicken.
Becca's most-hated sandwiches were the 1.5/10-rated Tuna and Sweetcorn, because the tuna was "vinegary and bitter", and the Chicken, Bacon, and Lettuce.
The video has been viewed more than 2.1 million times with Becca not surprised people loved it because meal deals are "unique to Britain" and "something we've grown up with".
Becca said: "We happened to be in Tesco, and I thought it would be a great idea to compare them and see which one was best.
"People in my local Tesco know me so they weren't surprised when they saw me, but we did the scan and shop option, so everything was already in bags."
She added: "The reaction has been crazy because people have been agreeing with me and being very upset about where their favourite sandwich is placed.
"Ultimately it's something we've all grown up with so people in Britain are interested in it and people from other countries say they have nothing like this."
