Evidence is shown in the fact that sandwiches do not have the buns connecting on any side, even with grilled cheese sandwiches, whereas pop-tarts are enclosed by all four of its sides; in addition, this means that hotdogs cannot be labelled as sandwiches because they are enclosed on one side, not none.
As well, referring to Enchantable's claim:

Quote:the difference with a grilled cheese sandwich though is that, while the cheese is hard to separate of the bread, the 3 components of the sandwich were distinctly separate until the cheese melted.

He states another argument. The fact that all the components of sandwiches were distinctly separate at one point before the consumer put them together.
Furthermore, it is quite clear that it is a trend in sandwiches to be enclosed in bread. Pop-tarts are definitely not enclosed in bread, just further invalidating them as a sandwich food item.

They have breading on both the upper and the bottom half of what's inbetween it (the jelly) though, as do hotdogs depending on the angle you view it. I feel like the jelly from a poptart was also made separately from the breading (you can find recipes online) and later added. As for jelly doughnuts, places such as Dunkin Donuts actually add the filling there by poking a hole in the side of the doughnut and pressing in the filling, making it separate until added in.

As for having "two slices of bread," bread comes uncut in an entire loaf as well. It needs to be cut to make two, and doughnuts/poptarts/hotdogs crustings could be cut in half.
