	:Hello from the near future! As of 2025, Subjectively, I think the comic's timeline was pretty accurate, I feel like sandwich identification mania has subsided. It'll still come up occasionally, but not often, probably pretty comparable in ranking to bacon. Oddly, google trends seems to show a different view, in which interest reached an all-time high in January 2022, and has only dropped by 1% between then and the start of this year (though it did drop somewhat lower in the intervening years). So perhaps the original batch of sandwich-contemplators have outgrown it, but the next generation continues to consider this conundrum.

 I feel like it's worth noting that the internet fixations mentioned on the chart - robot, monkeys, pirate, ninja, zombies, bacon - were all mentioned in #856 Trochee fixation https://xkcd.com/856/  and that sandwich is also a trochee.
