we have found from experience that half of these bagels is less than satisfying. The understand is that it's the whole bagel. Although I do understand all the sharing responses. Dibs is dibs on the whole bagel. I might want to mention that this is all in fun, after 49 years of marriage, a bagel will not undo anything. But come on! I said I was going to have it!!! But I do bow to a dib.
