Скачать или смотреть From Grain to Glory: Missouri's Sliced Bread Saga

Have you ever wondered what people would say before we had the phrase “the greatest thing since sliced bread”? What innovation did sliced bread surpass as the “greatest thing"?

An advertisement for this marvel claimed that sliced bread was “the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped”, so one could argue that before sliced bread, wrapped bread was the greatest thing. But we digress!
