<b>Sliced Bread</b>
Otto Frederick Rohwedder invented the bread slicer, which he started working on in 1912. At first, Rohwedder came up with the idea of a device that held the slices together with hat pins (not a success). In 1928, he designed a machine that sliced and wrapped the bread to prevent the sliced bread from going stale. Pre-sliced bread was popularized by Wonder Bread in 1930, helping to spread the toaster's popularity further.

Because it's really slow here today, and I'm equally bored. Plus I thought it might be a good follow-up to the Hostess Twinkie.

I took the day off. It is 78 degrees out and I just finished washing and waxing my SUV and washing the BMW. It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood....

It was 78 here too, last freaking July!! But, let's keep this on topic.

what kind of sliced bread do you have? Is it working well for you?

I have a sunbeam bread maker and a slicer. If that helps. Other than that, the only sliced bread I have is the kind that goes from the bank to the vendors...and thatt is sliced very thin

I see. So you find it better to do your own slicing rather than buying it pre-sliced. Have you ever stopped to consider the impact you may be having on the bread slicing workforce?

On the most part, I, like most other shoppers, purchase pre-sliced bread off of the shelf. There are those rare occasions, that I go to the Deli and purchase a whole bread, but I do have the Deli employees slice it for me.

It is on those very rare occasions, that my wife gets me to bake a bread, that I must resort to the slicer. I have found that I cannot slice a loaf of bread by hand.

You bake the bread? ~snicker~

I see, so you seem to have it covered right accross the board then. Everyone is happy so it seems?

I think I try to cover the bases. I make sure that the makers of the bread are paid and their slicers are paid for. As for the Deli people, they are covered by the grocery store. I just slip them an extra buck or two. When I slice the bread, I get a sore hand or cut finger. So I guess you can say all the bases are covered.
