I think we've all heard the phrase, "the greatest thing since sliced bread", and we all know that it means that sliced bread is one of, if not the best thing ever. But think about it? Is it really? Before sliced bread, you had the bread loaf. This was a lot easier to carry and eat than sliced bread. But after sliced bread came, you had to keep track of tons of individual slices. Not that convinient. And this brings up another point: the count. With a bread loaf, you knew how much bread you had: you had one bread. But how many slices of bread do you have now? Nobody knows. Never. And speaking of slices, how do we slice bread? That's right, knives. That means we didn't have knives or anything like that before sliced bread, meaning it was a lot harder to kill somebody. Can sliced bread really be that good if it allowed people to murder each other much more easily? Yes, I'm saying that sliced bread kills people. Remember that when you're eating a sandwich. Or toast.

Baguette's are way better than sliced bread. You hollow it out and then stuff all the yummy goodness inside. That way you don't have to worry about stuff falling out the sides.

I'm working on it. I'm busy writing my dissertation on Wheat and doing intern work for the respected Dr. Breadenfluffer.

Our work will change the world.

You can't go past sliced bread, they already did.

Can you imagine a world without sliced bread?

You bake the meat, cheese, vegetables, and condiments (what the hell is peanut butter? A sauce? A condiment?) into the bread. That way, you have a bigger sammich.

That's flavoured bread, not a sandwich. Fact is, without sliced bread we wouldn't have sandiwiches, or metaphors alluding to them.

No, flavored bread is all of it. This variant is just the insides. Imagine if you stuffed a suitcase full of all the stuff I mentioned before. And the suitcase was made of bread.

Sliced bread is pretty awesome if you think about it, have you ever had a pbj with not pre sliced bread, it just isn't right. And having to slice your own bread would just suck so bad.

What you forget though is that through the revolution of the sliced form of bread, toasters became more of a standardised size meaning more people could have toast without having to cut it to a certain size.

I saw a special on the History channel about food on Thanksgiving. They said that sliced bread is what caused the sandwich to become so popular in American culture. If you think about it, we really wouldn't have the foods we enjoy today without the invention of pre-sliced bread.

You bake the meat, cheese, vegetables, and condiments (what the hell is peanut butter? A sauce? A condiment?) into the bread. That way, you have a bigger sammich.

I doubt sliced bread caused more murders. Bread isn't sliced by knives, its done by a machine. And if I had to slice my own bread, I'd have to buy a special left handed knife, which costs a lot :(
