Ziggy, the greatest thing since sliced bread!

Bench’s bakery sold the first-ever sliced bread on July 8, 1928. The invention became popular quickly. Mr P thus 96 years old.

The greatest thing before sliced bread? Ford cars.

As a kid getting day old sliced bread on our 2 weeks shopping trips was a real treat.

I remember when I lived in L.A. there was a tortilla company whose slogan was, “The greatest thing since sliced bread.”

sliced bread was invented in 1928, for all those wondering

My mom went to grade school in the 1930s in rural New York State. When she was in the middle of elementary school, the schools combined. The country kids were bussed into town and went to school there. Often, the country kids and the town kids would often trade sandwiches. The country kids generally had good thick homemade bread for theirs, while the town kids mostly had store-bought sliced bread for theirs. The fun things was, everyone saw it as a win: the town kids wanted homemade bread, which they didn’t get at home, and the country kids wanted the new fancy sliced bread because their moms always baked.

My Mom bought fresh bread every day for our family of six. However, she insisted we eat the old bread first, which took all day. My Mom paid fresh bread prices every day but we ate day-old bread every day.
