A Slice of Bread

The greatest thing since... well, itself/Food & Drinks

A standard slice of white bread weighs about 30 grams, is about 12 mm thick, and contains roughly 67 calories (280 kJ) of energy. Sliced bread was first sold in 1928 by the Chillicothe Baking Company in Missouri, and was advertised as 'the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped.' It quickly became the benchmark against which all other innovations would be judged.
