The cream-cheese-stuffed bagel is here | CNN Business

The bagel is filled with cheese after it is baked, making it more of a cream cheese bagel donut, if not in spirit then at least in form.

The bagels are “baked fresh daily and then cooled to be individually stuffed with Philly’s signature cream cheese one at a time,” according to Jay Rushin, CEO of H&H. “H&H Bagels use a pastry tool to pipe in the Philly cream cheese by hand,” he added. “The process leaves very small holes where the insertions are made, similar to a jelly donut.”

    • way too much cream cheese
    • MORE IMPORTANTLY it's not fucking toasted is it now?? And you can't toast the inside without turning the cream cheese into water. It's a doughy ass bagel. Gross

          Uh-oh, it's time for some geometry.

          The lower right cross section of the bagel monster is about 240 pixels across. The cream cheese portion is about 150 pixels across.

          We recall that the area of a circle is: A = πr^2

          From our measured diameter of 240 we can find a radius of 120. plug this into the formula and we have ~45,239 pixels squared as the area of the bagel's cross-section at this point.

          doing the same for the cream section, we get a result of 17,671.

          45,239 - 17,671 = 27,568

          27,568 > 17,671 so we can safely say that most of the bagel is, in fact, bagel.

          Still going to ruin the whole rhythm of tasting it though.

            If anyone isn't satisfied I will attempt to calculate toroidal volume.

              I would like a weight comparison. How many grams of bagel vs grams of cream cheese? Then compare that ratio to some baseline. Put this in a table with some slides
