The Japanese television show “Honma Dekka (Is It True?)” brought on three researchers and found the most efficient way to eat a hamburger, the news website of the business and technology magazine Business Insider reported.

Experts in fluid mechanics, engineering and dentistry figured out the best way to hold and eat a large hamburger without spillage. The research featured a 3-D scan of a hamburger to study how the particles interacted together while someone held a large hamburger.

The resulting data showed that holding a hamburger with the thumbs and pinkies on the bottom and the middle three fingers on the top prevents spillage.

Thanks to science, people can eat a burger in the most “perfect way possible,” Business Insider added.
