People say "The best thing since sliced bread" because before slicing it was invented, you had to swallow a loaf whole and you could see it going down your throat sideways while your eyes watered and you banged your fist on the table.

Nancy Reagan never had a problem, from what I understand She was known as "The Throat Goat". It must have been because of the bread thing. Right? Right??
The invention of sliced bread is one of the worst ever. It led to the introduction of preservatives & other unnatural shit into bread since slicing it decreases its shelf life.
I started buying unsliced bread recently and have been thinking about that saying. Sliced bread is faster but like many things in life... Faster isn't always better. In life, we should loaf around until the giant serrated knife comes down to takes us to the big sandwich in the sky.
Before slicing was invented, you had to tear pieces off. But when you put the pieces into the toaster, they'd get stuck and start to burn, which set off the smoke alarm. And if you tried to dig the pieces out with a fork, you'd get electrocuted, which is really painful. Bless you, sliced bread.

This is why they made baguettes - the deepthroating bit is a much smoother experience, and your stomach dissolves it bottom to top like a stick of butter on a frying pan
I'm sorry my intentionally stupid joke was not to your liking, fellow internet haver. Thanks for letting me know, I promise to do absolutely nothing about it whatsoever.
Why not, "The best thing since blowjobs?" I guess that is just for dudes. Something still goes down the throat and eyes water with banging fists on the table.
