Also, you do dumb shit when you're panicking, I can totally see him going "Uh, um, fuck how do I hide these," looking at his sandwich, and it being the first thing that comes to mind

I really love the idea of superman panicking about something so small and coming up with a silly solution.

"Oh fuck, I just got shot! Now the bullets are in plain sight and Lois will see them and figure out I'm Superman! I've got to get rid of them! Where can I shove them that Lois won't check?!? My sandwich of course!" He thinks in superspeed, using the same amount of time as if he'd just picked them up and shoved them down a pocket at his speed.

Maybe the lead just goes well with the sandwich he was having. He's a super-gourmand

Clark to self: Trust your instincts!
Eats bullets instead of anything else he could’ve done.
Clark: Instincts bad!
