10’s a crowd
October 20th, 2006 by ChrisBread technology marches on. I was amazed to find this lovely apparition in the grocery store the other day:
The trouble is, no matter how many slices, the loaves are always the same size; the slices are just thinner. So now I have to eat two, which defeats the point. Guess I’ll stick to the six-slicers from now on.
Of course it’s too much to ask to put the whole loaf in the bag. I think they really like the perfect-cube shape and if they changed the size, it would no longer fit in everyone’s perfectly-organized fridge.

Vivien and I have hypothesized that in order for them to not have crusts (and not waste bread), these bread-cubes come out of an infinitely-wide toroid (doughnut). So the concept of ‘whole loaf’ does not really exist, unless your fridge is also infinitely wide.
Apologies to the non-geek.
