Do they still sell it?

Yep, serving hard working Americans since 1921.

More of a Dave's Killer Bread kinda guy myself.

Occasionally my mother would drag home a loaf, I loved it, me being a connoisseur of the butter and sugar sammich, but my Dad would say, "I Wonder if there is any flour in it?" Then he would wad up a slice into a doughball the size of a marble.

It's the bread equivalent of mass market American beer. Very consistent, a technical marvel, but not much there.

Hot garbage.

Wonder bread was a prime example of a product of little value that was packaged in a way to attract buyers. It cost more and provided less nutrition than any other bread on the shelf. Myself I prefer the wheat 22 grain breads for every app. Will buy wheat French bread for subs. Mb

Since when did anybody eat bread for nutrition?

It was originally advertised as never having been touched by human hands, i.e., the end user is the first human being to have touched it. It's produced as a 100% mechanized product, from flour to packaging.

I remember when it built strong bodies in only 8 ways.

I was a kid growin’ up in Georgia in the 60’s and my mom usually bought Hillbilly Bread. In the mid 70’s when we moved to Oklahoma she started buying Homepride Butter Top Wheat Bread. Nowadays I think Oroweat Whole Grains Oatnut bread is the best there is, to me.

My dad used to buy Hillbilly Bread. Given that, I think that it must have been cheaper than other bread. I always placed in on the weaker end of the ox board breads.

Never heard that but pretty amazing engineering if true.

Every time that they said that, I would say, "Each and every one handled by [bleep]".

How ridiculous is this? Chim - Pan - Zs

Light bread is a fairly regional thing.
Used to be able to buy some pretty good fluffy light bread
in this area. The last of the half decent light bread here
was Mrs. Baird's. The heirs sold out to the mex baking
company bimbo, and there's been nothing decent around
here since. Every loaf of light bread you buy at a store
has that barely risen half cooked swirl in the middle
regardless if you pay 99 cents or 3 dollars.
It's usually only palatable if you make toast and slather
it with jelly for breakfast or mustard or something for
a quick sandwich. I've got to where I just make
cornbread or skillet bread here if I'm using bread
for sopping etc.
Not many here notice since most are drunk or high
and the border jumpers mainly utilize tortillas

Bread is sugar cunningly disguised as food. Haven’t had any since December. Don’t miss it much and found other things to put butter on…..

Fried bologna sandwiches and mustard on Wonder, canned green beans/corn and grape kool-aid as a kid. Thought we was da rich kids. When there was extra money we gots a slice of fake cheese.

Grew up eating Mrs Baird’s bread and bakery products.
Like you said, they’ve gone to hell since the Mexicans bought them out.

There was a Mrs Baird’s bakery / factory in the hometown I grew up in. You could drive by and the smell of fresh bread was awesome. They also had a “Day Old” outlet store, where their Delivery Drivers would return the products that were getting close to expiration, and sell dirt cheap. Lots of folks that had hogs would buy that stuff for feeding them.

When I was a kid, they had damn good fried pies made with fresh local grown fruit. And killer honey buns and Sweet Rolls called Bear Claws. Now their stuff is barely edible.

Can you tell me how to put together a breadless shrimp poboy?

Thanks,

Wonder Bread was easy to roll into balls for food fights. For making sandwiches Roman Meal was the bread of choice.

LOL. Or a fried egg & Bologna sandwich.
