What is the most revolutionary invention in human history? Sliced bread. Think about it, people back then bought whole loaves of bread and had to cut it by HAND and it wasn’t until people were able to buy PRE-SLICED bread. Now you don’t have to cut bread WHEN YOU CAN BUY IT PRE SLICED. Sliced bread had even been banned during the 1940’s simply because sliced bread would squish easier than a whole loaf of bread. This drove so many people crazy that a housewife days later sent a letter to the New York Times about how it drove her husband and children insane having to wait for her to cut their bread for breakfast. Complaining having to cut 22 slices of bread by hand for her and her family. The ban had been doubled downed by the New York Area Supervisor of the FDA warning bakeries to stop using their bread cutters in order to protect other bakeries who didn’t have bread cutters. Essentially protecting competition between bakeries simply for owning a bread cutter. Fortunately, 2 months after the ban was introduced the ban had been rescind in March of 1943, largely because of public outcry about continuously having to cut their own bread. Countless hours being wasted of cutting bread. The agonizing pain to cut so many slices every single day. Sliced bread was so popular, so unique, so revolutionary that it was considered “the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped”
