Otto Rohwedder started building his machine in 1912. It took him 13 years to get everything perfect. He finally sold his patent in 1928 and laid claim to the very first sliced bread machine.

A Bakery in Battle Creek, Michigan turned out the first loaf. The baker said that the bread would go stale faster than normal unsliced bread. Otto wasn't going to quit so he tried many different ways to keep the bread from going stale. He tried everything. He even tried hat pins!

Then he realized that wrapping it in plastic would be the best way. Later they discovered that the company could put there logo on the plastic. Finally bread was being sold presliced. This is how sliced bread started out.

Thanks Tink.
I guess everything made before 1928 doesnt count, luckily those flavoured condoms are post-1928

When was the taco invented?

Thanks Tink.

I say the Christmas tree, in Britain anyway.

When was the taco invented?
thousands of years ago i'm afraid

thousands of years ago i'm afraid

Ah. Pretty good though, huh?

christmas trees were before sliced bread, they became popular in Britain after Queen Victoria was pictured with her family around one, i don't know what year it was but it was definately before 1928

yeah, maybe before we got sliced bread people used to say 'wow! that's the best thing since tacos!'

Betcha they still watch it, they just don't talk about it :P

why watch channel 5 when you have the glory of channel 4.........actually get sky :p

The best thing since sliced bread is... Whoops, now there is something better. Darn, we keep going along in time and there is something that is better than that which existed before. The best thing since sliced bread is... Ah-oh! It happened again.

Is it OK to ask for the best thing since sliced bread up until 12:54 p.m. (Eastern U.S.) on Dec. 29, 2004?

Porn. Who doesn't love porn? (Well except Chrisitian righties anyway)
sorry but porn is older than sliced bread!

I'm sure you're mistaken. Prostitution is as old as the world itself, but how old can porn be?

I ask for proofs! Proofs I say! :D

Seriously though, if you can find me an approximate date where sliced bread was invented, and find a source that says there was some pornographic image painted on the wall of caveman's cavern or something like that, I'll concede the point to you and take back my nomination of porn as the best thing since sliced bread. Deal?

the Kama Sutra came before sliced bread.

canned bread

the Kama Sutra came before sliced bread.

Kama sutra isn't porn: it's a "How to make love for dummies" manual.

they had porn back in roman times at least, and probably before then as well

This is how sliced bread started out.i can go and find where i got that from if you really want me to (though not now cause i'm going outin a minute)

porn:


For as long as humans have been able to draw or write, they've crafted pornography

Kama sutra isn't porn: it's a "How to make love for dummies" manual.
so basically what we're getting to now is a porn vs. erotica type question.
YAY I LOVE coupling!
# PORNOGRAPHY: "Printed or visual material that is meant to arouse sexual excitment."
By the above definition, The Kama Sutra, while wonderful, is Porn

Well I'll be damned. Alright fairy, you win THIS time...

I take back what I said earlier about porn being the best thing since sliced bread.

On a side note, I now announce that sliced bread is the best thing ever since the invention of porn :D

Greatest thing since sliced bread? Plastic

Think about how much stuff on the planet is made out of plastic.

Well I'll be damned. Alright fairy, you win THIS time...

*Lemon meringue

neighbours is good but it ain't the best thing since sliced bread

watch the mid/late 90s heyday again and tell me toady's hair and shirt don't compete with sliced bread. you may have fancy proofs for sliced bread and porn but you cannot argue with neighbours:

a) invented after sliced bread
b) best thing invented EVER
c) ergo: neighbours is best thing since sliced bread

irrefutable. :D

*Lemon meringue
Well, obviously lemon meringue is the best *material* thing since sliced bread.

That's what I meant to say, of course.
