BG John Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 What's so great about sliced bread? It annoys me when I go in the local supermarket to buy an unsliced loaf, and they've sliced them all and sealed them in plastic bags. I like to be able to cut bread to the best thickness for whatever I want to do with it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharris Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Sorry Brian, the movie considered the first talking picture was The Jazz Singer released in 1927. My vote would be for penicillin, which just makes it in, being discovered in 1929. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptic Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Since we're limited to post 1928, I'd say 'Fried, sliced bread'. Prior to 1928, I'd say 'Fried egg'. Although, thinking about it, you'd have a job to slice it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire2865 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Id say the personal computer. It has allowed thousands upon thousands of people to connect and communicate in situations where it would be impossible otherwise. The world, once so large, has been shrunk with near instant communication. Without which, this thread and the internet it exists on, would not exist. That or superglue. Stuff will stick damn near anything together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edcayton Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Kerrygold butter, which is soft enough to spread on the aforementioned sliced bread without ripping it to shreds. Ed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyID Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Best thing since sliced bread? A bread slicer. I bought a food slicer a few years ago and I use it all the time, not just for bread of course. Seriously, advances in health science must be high on the list. Without that many of us (me included) would have died many years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The humble wellington boot? Revolutionised the working lives of agricultural workers and fishermen, plus any others who had to suffer wet / muddy feet on a regular basis. Failing that, the motorway network.

Allegheny1600 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The humble wellington boot? Revolutionised the working lives of agricultural workers and fishermen, plus any others who had to suffer wet / muddy feet on a regular basis. Maybe, was this really invented post 1928 though? Failing that, the motorway network. No, no, no, NO, NO, NO! If 'we' hadn't got a motorway network, think how popular and developed the railway networks would be!
