July 7th

On this day - July 7th 1928 - The first sliced bread is sold

The first bread to be sliced by a machine and sold that way was in 1928. It was advertised as the greatest forwards step in baking industry since bread was wrapped. The inventor of the bread slicing machine was the american Otto Rohwedder. He built a prototype in 1912, but this was destroyed by fire, but by 1928 had he managed to build a fully working machine. The first commercial use of this machine was on July 7th the same year when a bakery sold sliced bread and had a huge success with it.
