http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page On this day...

<quote>
1928 €“ The Chillicothe Baking Company in Chillicothe, Missouri, USA,
first produced sliced bread, advertised as "the greatest forward step
in the baking industry since bread was wrapped", which then led to the
popular phrase "the greatest thing since sliced bread".
