    Other Similar Questions & Answers


    It's often said when something good comes along that it's "the best invention since sliced bread" but when did ready-sliced bread come along and who first put it onto the market?

    British (and a lot of other) white sliced bread is mostly made by the Chorleywood Bread Process, and is stodgy and tasteless. Brown sliced bread, on the other hand, is lighter and airier and has taste. Is there a difference in the process?

    His most famous invention made him rich, but he thought his greatest invention was the harnessing of light beams to achieve a similar result as his first success. (Indeed it's an idea decades ahead of its time.) His wife, however, had no use for either of these inventions, but many other men's wives did. Who was he, and why the apparent irony at his wife's indifference?
