But I also said, upper or lower, that the same phrase said with a sincere and frank smile will not have an ironic or sarcastic meaning.
So, I think a proper way will be ¿Qué lleva el sandwich? But you cannot say that ¿Qué trae el sandwich? is incorrect.

Sorry, I had not understood the "upper, lower" thingy. Well, I'm still not sure I understand it now.
I really enjoy using the green on you...
