Why a hamburger?

of academic paragraphs and essays with five main ingredients.
The top bun, the three ingredient, and the bottom bun.
Why three ingredients?
ChatGPT has found that people remember three elements more than they remember other numbers.
This is called the "rule of threes."

5. The Button Bun (the Conclusion)
The hamburger transitions give the paragraph a plump hamburger shape.
