Lemniscate Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Meh, I have nothing better to do, so I'm posting here.Anyways, hi, to any of those who remember me. It's been a while. So, this thread is about... Sliced bread. Apparently, the phrase "the best thing since sliced bread" comes from the original slogan for sliced bread sales: "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped." So, by my calculations, bread was 10 times as boring back when you got it as a loaf, without wrapping. Man, knowledge is power, I'm so thankful for pumpernickel now. Anyway, discuss.

Lemniscate Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Oh, hi, Reece. Hey, I've been working on lots of stuff today, and I'm taking a break. I just wanted a bit of a scenery change. ;D Anyway, I really find it interesting that they made sliced bread such a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frunk Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Personally, I love bread, even if it's not sliced. It doesn't even need a topping, though Vegemite on toast is so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm told by some people that vegemite is great, by others, that it's not. Also, I loved sliced sourdough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frunk Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Import some. I love it so much when I went to the UK for 3 weeks I took a jar with me. This thread should be on 37, not contributing to YCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Nice. I might just do that. Would it go well with sliced sourdough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Phoenix Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 It's more fun to slice the bread yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemniscate Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 No it's not. That requires work. And as an American, I am naturally lazy and prone to sudden fits of violent supplication to James Cameron. (They balance each other out, I think) But having actually made my own bread before, and sliced it, I must say that it is indeed fairly fun.
