   Sliced bread as a "best thing since" standard is a very low one.

     @tagomago In Italy, it's calld "pane da toast" o "pan carré", meaning square bread in French.

     We also don't think it's the best idea ever: in fact, it's the lowest form of plastic bread that you'd buy only if bakeries were closed and the supermarket had run out of real bread 😂

     Tagomago repeated this.

     @tagomago Industria also made Pan Carrè from plastic... but their very best idea was powering up the Giganto to destroy the world one more time! 😂

     Skip to 23:10 to re-watch the scene I'm referring to:

     @asterope @tagomago In Japan, I sometimes bought pre-sliced loaves (or is it loafs?) of sourdough or ciabatta, since I didn't even have a bread knife in my microscopic kitchen 😅

     Sometimes I'd even freeze it, but most Italians would rather eat it fresh the same day and then find some other use for the stale leftovers (panzanella being my favorite 😋)

     @codewiz @tagomago You don't have normal bread but sliced? Square sliced bread exists here too, and similarly is the lowest form of bread you can find. It's light and empty but also makes you feel full for a few minutes,
     Years ago I saw a video made in usa of someone using a slice of square bread as a sponge, it was like as if that slice was made from durable foam. At least it's not as bad here.
