The advert said something like: «the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped.» When did sliced bread hit the market?
Believe it or not, people did not like the idea when sliced bread came out. According to the book Why Do Donuts Have Holes: Fascinating Facts About What We Eat And Drink, the loaves «were sloppy looking.»
The first bakery to sell sliced bread was a little bakery in Chillicothe, USA. It was July 7th, in 1928. These guys used the automatic bread-slicing machine. The bright guy who invented it was Otto Frederick Rohwedder.
The bread-slicing machine suffered a few improvements. And that was a good thing, because loaves became not so sloppy-looking. By World War II, Americans already loved sliced bread. And the rest is now history
