“The best thing since sliced bread.”? Really?
Okay, I know why this quote got popular (the convenience of pre-sliced bread and store-bought bread, back in the day).
But really? This is what measures greatness? Of all the advancements in science, technology, medicine, etc, the most wonderful invention was store-bought, pre-sliced bread?
Am I the only one who thinks it’s silly people even use this quote anymore?
What about “The best thing since the Internet.”? Or modern day/current transportation? Or TV? Or microwaveable/instant foods? Or low-fat/low-calorie foods? Or air conditioning?
Seriously. Sliced bread?
This expression was coined as YOU said, “back in the day…”. Obviously this generation hasn’t decided to change it. And what IF you had to slice your bread instead of taking off the twist tie and just pulling out a couple of slices of bread???
Change it you want to. Don’t follow the status quo. Come up with something more profound if you think this one is outdated.
