I realize the phrase "best thing since sliced bread" gets overused a lot

[Squisher]

I think many of you are discounting the revolutionary nature of sliced bread.

And basically that's the point of this thread.

No matter how revolutionary sliced bread may or may not have been.

Pop rocks are NOT mentos.

The printing press anyone?

Sorry...the best thing since sliced bread. The printing press was invented about 400 years prior to that.

My vote goes to...teh intarwebs! :thumbsup:

 

[bonkers325]

bread that comes pre-sliced sucks!

 

[Modelworks]

useless trivia.
wonder bread was one of the first sliced breads to be sold.
during WWII sliced bread was banned

While I agree that toasted bread is good, at a semantic level that sort of misses the point. Consider that in order to make toasted bread you would need to start with sliced bread. Therefore the possibilities of simple sliced bread are greater than the possibilities of toast, making the sliced bread a better subject for analogy.

well then perhaps flour would be even better. you can use it to make cake!!!

And flour does come in bulk.

This thread has possibilities!

Yeah, there should be a petition to change "greatest thing since sliced bread" to "greatest thing since bulk flour".

And I would rather live in a world with no sliced bread but 2-ply toilet paper, than a world with sliced bread and no 2-ply.

Perosnally I think the cotton gin or internal combustion engine are better than both.

Both are older than sliced bread. The phrase refers to the invention of pre-sliced packaged bread (i.e. wonderbread) in the 20's.

I grew up in the 70's/80's too... Mentos were invented in the 1950's...

so you'd prefer to have a raw ass your entire life, so long as you can drive your engine-driven motor vehicle to Walmart?

fire is a discovery. our use of it being that we discovered how to harness a naturally occuring phenomenom.

bread, toilet, combustion engines, whatever, do not grow on trees nor are they formed in the bowels of our planet. hence, they are inventions.

so you can't compare the two

i think sao is unaware of the urban myth in the 80s involving Mikey from the life cereal commercials. he supposedly died after eating pop rocks and drinking coke, thus exploding his stomach. this was a well-supported myth on the school yard--with no truth behind it. mentos, however, do cause a certain indigestion.

btw: mikey didn't actually eat pop rocks and soda. stranger still, he's still alive

What are you....some kinda Mento's walking encyclopedia?



Pop Rocks is still the right answer though. Don't you watch mythbusters?

We don't have a Steak & Shake here. Therefore, unless you hand-deliver me one of these creations, I shall brand you a cad and a scoundrel.

So the wife and I stopped by Steak 'n Shake last night while running around town to get a shake and I saw they had some limited time Halloween shakes, one of them called "Popping Candy" and I just figured they were giving it some silly make but from the picture it just looked like it has sprinkles in it like you'd put on icecream or something.

Well I took my first sip of it and to my surprise it was freaking Pop Rocks in the shake!

OMG I felt like a little kid all over again! Oddly enough, pop rocks and a vanilla shake for some reason just really went well together.

Here's the only thing I can find about it on their site.

So in conclusion, this HAS to be the best invention since sliced bread.

The end.

whoever said sliced bread was so great an invention???
Give me the whole loaf, drill a hole in it and fill it with stuff...

voila... instant loafwich.

i would like to purchase your idea. how much?

I'm cheap...
1 Cheese pizza and 2 Sam Addams Octoberfest beers.

how about a cheesy instead?

pfffs.. 2-ply is nothing. cool fresh clean water run down your backside is the way to go.

Just wondering....are you filipino? My mom used to have a little pail next to the toilet when i was a kid and never quite figured what it was used for until I visited the Philippines....
