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.

Ymmv

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.

My sister called it, cake bread.

Now bread in general, they call it the Staff of Life.

I didn't realize that bread and television were first cousins.

Dad alternately called wonder bread “dreck” and “paff”.


It’s the miracle whip of breads.

This is why I eat fresh tortillas.....

You mean it's no good for you? But I thought it built strong bodies, 12 ways...?

This ^^^

Only bread (or buns) I buy except a fresh baguette once in a great while. I quit eating white sawdust bread when I started buying my own food at age 15.



And this ^^^

Plus biscuits, Naan bread, and tortillas.

Don't eat a lot of any of it, though.

I don't like roof sheathing masquerading as bread.

Even mold doesn't like it.

roman meal wheat bread



guess its gone now days

When I was a kid I went to a neighborhood kid's birthday party. When it came time for a meal, after the Pin The Tail On The Donkey, the mom had a table set up with Wonder Bread and a package of sliced bologna, and we'd stand in line for a sandwich and some Kool Aid. When you got to the table the mom would put two slices of Wonder Bread on your plate and ask if you'd like one slice of bologna or two.

I was appalled. What kind of meal was that?? You need to stack that sandwich high with bologna, not to mention some lettuce and mayo. One or two slices???

^^^^^^

Agreed. Ya gotta stack a sandwich like you're one of the countermen at Katz' Deli.

My name is Dagwood . . .

I know this will sound terrible but growing up i made sandwiches from left over baked bean and sliced radish's , they were great.

At my house you'd have got one slice of the cheapest bologna on the cheapest store brand bread. Multiple slices of bologna and name brand anything was rich kid terrirory and that wasn't us. Hell I didn't even know what a beef steak tasted like until after I was out on my own. Hamburger and a cheap chuck roast once in awhile was as close as we came growing up.

My brother used to call me Wonder Bread (white loafer) when I didn't want to do my chores.

"Come on Wonder Bread we're not done yet"

I never did care for the bread.

Now that's funny stuff!

We used to call those guys dairy farmers - milking the job!

Right, I always thought it was to keep the mayo and mustard off my hands…..

How about a Dogwood sandwich, complete with an olive on top?

Ever wonder how it lasts so long?

It's a wonder, ironbender.

the only good thing about Wonder bread was you could carry it in your pocket wrapped in wax paper and make a dough ball that would stay on the hook when you drifted it down through a carp hole on the river and it didn't leave slime in your pocket like nightcrawlers.

I drove transport for Wonder Bread and got to watch it being made and it was truly never touched by human hands.


We referred to Wonder Bread as "Pooky Bread". I grew up in a German family and we got out bread from Dietz Bakery in Milwaukee, round loaves of rye bread unsliced.

Even bugs and microorganisms know better than to eat it, LOL.

Although my heritage is so solidly German that I have to fight off the urge to occupy the shelf at the store that holds French dressing, I grew up amongst the Swedes, and must say that Swedish rye bread triumphs over all other varieties.

Buncha big strong tough men here!


Hahaha!


Turn your dainty little noses up at some bagged bread.



Spend two weeks on a fires with no showers or flush toilets...finally get some real food that isnt a MRE.


Its bologna, American cheese, and yellow mustard......on Wonder Bread. No better food was ever invented.


Go sit in the corner with your 78 grain garbage!

Miracle Whip Jim, you gotta have some Miracle Whip on that heavenly bread with the bologna and fake cheese.

They should have brought in cases of Vienna sausages to go with.

I'm good with about any cheap bread. Long as it is not green with mold.

But then again, I live in Iowa!

Let the cheap shot's begin.

Apostrophe abuse.

No no...thems sandwiches gotta last with out refrigeration for several hours.

I bet your "deer camp" has central air and flush toilets.

I'm a country hick. Not an English teacher! LOL

1. My deer camp is a ratty old trailer. No plumbing. It does have an RV air conditioner.

2. I'm bringing Vienna sausages to my air conditioned deer palace later today.

The bbq ones are awsome.

Jim thinks I was ragging on Vienna sausages.

Man gets crabby when he has to bath in the water trough.

Haha!

You aren't fooling anyone!



Post a pic of you eating a can of Beefaroni...cold.



I am sure Nigel is gonna let you put your weenies next to his Melba toasts.

He's touchy about his predilection for ketchup on hot dogs too.

Yeah...I like dipping my Vienna sausages in a nice Chateau LeBlanc '62.

Never ate the Beefaroni cold. I've been through many a can of cold Beanie Weenies though.

Wine isn't my style.

I do like good beer. I'll be washing things down this weekend with Weihenstephaner Festbier.

If you’ll happily eat that,!you should have no problem with a laboratory burger.

It's all context my man.

Well aware Jim. Can’t miss an opportunity to give you a sharp elbow!

I’ve posted in the past how one of my best meals was Mary Kitchen corned beef, topped with fried eggs, and a side of canned beets.

Want real bread, try mine, you can drive a spike with it, but not into the bread.

Haute!

Haha! Yes! I'm convinced I would enjoy sharing a hunting camp with mathman, even though I am pretty well math illiterate.

What a dumb fugk.

Sight-in and trajectory are the camp math topics, and only if asked. I could talk about different approaches to developing the Lebesgue integral, but nobody has ever asked.

Now you’re just showing off!

Always loved that integral cabin dcabin joke.

I dont eat bread these days but I was raised on wonderbread. I don't remember mom having any other kind of bread around other than heat and serve rolls. Its been around a long time as I’m 60. I can remember miracle whip and wonderbread sandwiches. My favorite was bologne Miracle whip and american fake cheese product sandwiches. PBJ sandwiches as well. Thats we ate for lunch back then. Been a long time since I had any miracle whip or wonderbread.

We were too poor for Wonder Bread the perfectly squared sandwich stuff wasn't at our house we got whatever was on sale and if you aren't eating that we're eating roads bread which had much prefer today

Nope. Haven’t had a sammich either. The wife fries up a mess in the air fryer pretty regularly, but no bread is involved, other than the crumbs she dips them in. Makes shrimp spring rolls to die for too: big chunks of shrimp, cabbage, sprouts she grows, a little carrot, and rice noodles. I mix up some hot mustard with Coleman’s powder. Boy-o-boy. A nit-picker might say the wrappers are kinda-sorta bread.

Used to be a hole-in-the-wall at Hatteras that sold great shrimp burgers, but one of the storms washed it away.

Well happy some Show and Tell over in the food section with your help out
