The 1928 invention was the bread slicing machine, it was the store bought pre-sliced bread that started in 1928.
The concept of slicing bread existed for at least a few years before 1928.

And this, ladies and gentleman, is why memes aren't a good source for history.
That's honestly pretty cool though, this is just one of those things I tend to take for granted.
Call me a hipster, but I preffer to slice my own. The pre-sliced bread is just to thick for me. Thinner the bread, better the bread vs. spread ratio 🍞
Yes, but the opposite, presliced bread is too thin. I eat bread infrequently as a treat, so really go for a big thick slice when I do
Oh? Here in Europe we have slices thicker than thumbs when it comes to bread. But yeah, "toast" slices are just right 👌
I like to bake my own bread (mainly sourdough). Slicing fresh bread is a feeling that just cannot be beat.
Don't threaten me with a good time
I remember as a child in the seventies that some cans still came with that little key for rolling the lid open rather than using a can opener. The pop top wasn't around yet. I wanna say I remember that coming around 1980ish.
The first can opener was invented in Jan 1858.
The first can was invented in 1810.
Some real creative people in 1810-1857.
Peanut butter was invented in 1895, so there were 33 awkward years before PB&Js.
Fun fact:
The tin can was invented in 1810.
45 years later, in 1855, the first can opener was patented.
Well, they were hardly going to make it first
