What was the best thing before sliced bread?

Just plain bread

The bread knife?

Sliced fish ?

Churn some butter and you will figure it out real quick like.

rye bread loaf?

Sex.

i know how cheesy those are, but it sounded like a really lame set up for such a joke.

This is so inappropriately placed. I love it.

I suspect the greatest thing before sliced bread was fire.

Non-sliced bread.

Nothing
Before sliced bread, there was nothing. Sliced bread is the very cornerstone of our society. It is the air we breath, the water we drink, the bread (duh) we eat.

Or something like that

I didn`t know that we could breath and drink sliced breath...

EDIT: Wait a second he was sarcastic wasn`t he ?

no i would have to agree with glacies. its chuck norris. he probably sliced the first loaf of bread with a round house kick. in fact he probably invented bread for that matter.

Donuts.. and lots of them. <3

Fresh baked bread that's still slightly warm from the oven, with enough butter to leave teethmarks when bitten into...

PS Did you know that sliced bread is excellent for cleaning paper (writing paper, wallpaper etc.)?? just put a smallish lump (not the crust) on the palm of your hand and roll it into a ball, then use as an eraser to clean paper.. Best ever use for sliced bread...

Also, cheap crappy margerine is very good for cleaning your hands if you've been working on engines (car, bike etc.) The emulsifiers in the marge break down the oil and grease making it easy to wash off with soap!!! Try it, it works

uuummmmmmmmmmmmmm
the best thing before sliced bread was was a world of sharing bread in an unequal fashion leading to bread size envy .... and jelousy which we all know leads to the dark side any questions .......................... anyone................ yes you at the back........... no you cant go to the toilet sit back down..........yes chap at the front ......................... no this isn't french class............................ any serious questions...........................no well class dismissed please read up on the song group abba and the chupacabra's love child its called the abracadabra thats all goodbye......................... *wakes up holding his head* where am i oh no it happened again damn

Well, apparently, bread was first harnest by the ancient egyptians somewhere between 8,000 and 5,000 years ago, naturally there is no way to prove when it was created, and by whom. However, one can safely assume that one did not hoard all of the bread to himself, and that merely weeks, or even days, after bread became common, a method of dividing it was devised. So, knowing the earliest possible creation date of around 5,000 bc, I'd say the best thing since sliced bread was the advent of writing, developed sometime between 6,000 and 5,000 bc.

Fried chicken. Yum.

Thinking about this some more, I suppose the best thing before sliced bread would be the knife to cut it with

Ooops I just noticed this reply was posted above by Waspie... My alopogies, Waspie

raw toast.
and chuck norris, boohyah

I do this when I can't find an eraser it's the cool thing to do <3

iron

People sharing the bread instead of killing each other with the breadknife?

Toilet paper.

Chocolate

Don't beleive in Astrology because it is a trick, people who believe in astrology get sent straight to hell.
it makes jesus get crusefied a second time.
It's very bad.....
Pass It on to others the next time they ask you about astrology.

First the Fire, then the roast beef, then the sliced bread.

??? and the connection between this and sliced bread is.... ?

the best thing before sliced bread was unsliced deli meats....... duh.

Before bread was sliced, it was ( cue the Gregorian chants and Pantera ) BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!

In Elizabethan England (and possibly elsewhere) bread was often used instead of a plate.. excellent no washing up.

Now that you mention it, I wonder who started using what we recognize as plates first?

I heard that in the Roman era, it was used like a napkin.... I think....I was going to mention that....

You know, I've seen this topic getting bumped to the top for the past couple days.

Today, I figured I'd take a look. Surely a thread three pages long can't be ALL about sliced bread.









dammit

^^ Yeah, like next question, what is the best thing before sliced bread & a bag of chips??? All that and a bag of chips, a Lamborghini and a bag of chips, the Eiffel tower and a bag of chips, sex with Angelina Jolie behind Brad Pitts back in the passenger side of a Lamborghini in Paris near the Eiffel tower and a bag of chips.

Do you remember any kids from your childhood that had to poke and explore any dead animal they came across, sometimes even putting it into a jar fetched from home to carry back with them?

Hello Again !

I would totally have to agree. Don't forget the carrots and potatoes! But yes fire would definetly have to be first.

hell yeah

i stronly think that sex was

The best thing before sliced bread was the wheel.

Thought and the human ability to ask the questions "Why", "How", "When", and "Where", then perpetually apply it to real-life situations in order to cause change or advancement. In fact, this still is the best thing before and after sliced bread, although I admit I would have a difficult time living without those convenient loaves of WONDER BREAD.

The greatest inventions of all time are, in order, rocks, pointy sticks, fire, sliced bread, and the slinky.

To date, science has not yet solved the question of why the slinky is greater than, say, indoor plumbing, but they're pretty sure it's true.

-Pilgrim

EDIT: Fixed a typo.

The slinky doesn't compare to rubber though^^ Remember that rubber keeps people from "producing" other people. I know it's wierd, but bread no matter what or how hungry isn't like a slinky compared to rubber. Gotta love it

Toilet paper. What do people in the third world use? Hands? Their shirt? Maybe the dog licks it clean

[attachmentid=24238]

^Yeah, even more interesting - but still disgusting, is pictures on toilet paper of people you hate. Ive heard of the OBL toilet roll. I figured - why even bother though, he doesn't deserve to get that close...

you're fat aren't you

Nope ... 5'11" and 10.5 stone (147lb)...
