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.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

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

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

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 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.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

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.

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…..
What fresh Hell is this?

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.

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.

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