I didn't know humans are capable of such monstrosity

Why are you booing me, I'm right!

Big bread just wants you to throw away bread and buy more.

My bread lasts for 1-2 weeks on the counter. Modern science is rad.

I mean freshly baked bread that you put in a bag last week a week or so I know dough conditioners do extend the life but when I throw my bread out it's usually not because it's stale because it's moldy which conditioners don't really help

I don't usually eat that much bread, so a bag of bread may last me 4 weeks or so. Freezing it is the best option if you toast it anyways. The result is the exact same, except that freezing the bread will make it last essentially forever.

It's bread. Bread is freezable. Same with cakes. You have definitely eaten defrosted bread and not even known it. You can freeze it 100 times and you won't be able to tell the difference.

Once upon a time when toasters didn't need high tech computers, it was possible to get a perfectly toasted piece of bread from frozen. There was a bimetallic strip that sensed the temperature of the bread, so it would always be consistent. This made freezing bread much more practical

My toaster has a snowflake button that just toasts it for a little bit longer.

I'm not sure why technology hasn't improved toasters at all, and indeed made them go backwards. I guess the 80s and the age of microchips couldn't solve everything...

It'll stay fresh much longer

All the beead in the supermarkets comes from the frozen section. They take a big patch every night for the next day to defrost before adding it to the shelves.
