Scientists believe they have come up with a formula to create the perfect bacon buttie.
The two most important aspects are crispiness and crunchiness, according to a new study.
It revealed the crunching sound while eating rashers should ideally measure 0.5 decibels.
They should also break when 0.4 Newtons of force is applied through chewing, the researchers said.
Butties were tested using a high-tech computer that measures food texture, while panels of 50 volunteers judged the butties for taste, texture and flavour.
