The common phrase, "the best thing since sliced bread," is often mentioned as a way of hyping a new product or invention.įor software developers, the greatest thing since sliced bread is probably the birth of the Internet back in the 1990s. It was also one of the first food products to succumb to automatic machinery. By the 1930s, pre-sliced bread was fully commercialized and standardization was reinforced by other inventions that required uniform slices, such as toasters. The making of bread is one of the oldest food technologies, going as far back as the Neolithic era and is linked with the brewing of beer.
Who hasn't heard the phrase, "the best thing since sliced bread?" Bread is one of our oldest and most basic sources of nourishment and just the mention of it makes me want to fill-up on bread before dinner especially if there is some olive oil on the table.
