History of sliced bread little known on 75th anniversary
By PAUL WENSKE
The Kansas City Star

CHILLICOTHE, Mo. - Everyone has heard "it's the greatest thing since sliced bread," used to hype everything from toasters to cell phones.

Indeed, the phrase is the ultimate depiction of innovative achievement and American know-how.

Yet few know when and where this icon of cultural convenience made its debut in the American marketplace.

But thanks to a curious newspaper editor, the northwest Missouri town of Chillicothe can claim the distinction of being the first place in the world where sliced bread was sold to the public 75 years ago this month.....



interesting... I thought sliced bread had been around long before that.

indeed

In 1202 A.D., England adopted laws to regulate the price of bread and limit bakers' profits. Many bakers were prosecuted for selling loaves that did not conform to the weights required by local laws.

They must be talking about this: "The 1928 invention and introduction of the commercial bread slicer was soon followed by the introduction of the automatic toaster."
