    I remember as a child in the seventies that some cans still came with that little key for rolling the lid open rather than using a can opener. The pop top wasn’t around yet. I wanna say I remember that coming around 1980ish.

    The 1928 invention was the bread slicing machine, it was the store bought pre-sliced bread that started in 1928.

    The concept of slicing bread existed for at least a few years before 1928.

      And this, ladies and gentleman, is why memes aren’t a good source for history.

      That’s honestly pretty cool though, this is just one of those things I tend to take for granted.

    Call me a hipster, but I preffer to slice my own. The pre-sliced bread is just to thick for me. Thinner the bread, better the bread vs. spread ratio 🍞

      I like to bake my own bread (mainly sourdough). Slicing fresh bread is a feeling that just cannot be beat.

      Yes, but the opposite, presliced bread is too thin. I eat bread infrequently as a treat, so really go for a big thick slice when I do

        Oh? Here in Europe we have slices thicker than thumbs when it comes to bread. But yeah, “toast” slices are just right 👌
