The Next Sliced Bread…
According to Wikipedia legend, Otto Frederick Rohwedder of Davenport, Iowa, invented the one-loaf bread-slicing machine, thusly creating mass-produced sliced bread.
The first commercial use of the machine was by the Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri, producing their first slices on July 7, 1928, 81 years ago today. Their product, “Kleen Maid Sliced Bread“, as is well known, was a substantial success.
What’s the next big thing? What will become of the technological epoch in this era of financial ruin? Stem cell research? Universal healthcare? Electric cars? Wind energy? Twitter? World Peace? Sarah Palin? Blogs? Digital Ink Los Angeles?
What’s your favorite sliced-bread sandwich?
Maybe the “Ben Franklin Quadruple-Decker,” hold the mayo?
