I’m an American, so I had this all the time, and it’s not actually terrible, but it’s not great. It’s certainly no homemade loaf fresh from the oven, and it’s absolutely not the type of thing you want to use the good butter on.
In Romania bread is just regular bread put into a slicing machine by the clerk when you're purchasing it. Probably still has some chemicals but at least it's not a sponge.
To be fair I make homemade bread and the ingredient list is 6: Flour, yeast, sugar or honey (for the yeast to eat), salt, warm water, olive oil, and sometimes sesame seeds. However I still understand the point is bread company's ruin the simplicity all to make are ape brains go "mmm yummier" and so you forget about the lack of nutritional value in it

0:45 Huntergatherers took estimatedly 3-4 hours to get food, whereas farming took at least double that time. One can say, that wheat enslaved humanity. What farming did allow, was more food overall, which meant that some people didn't need to farm, leading to toilets and depression. This is insane
Sliced bread mostly became popular because the minuscule amount of cost to produce. The ingredients had more to do with large famines and droughts through the early 20th century.
As a long time breadetarian I like to consider myself a specialist as I do enjoy a lot of bread, and as I gotta give sliced bread the points for convenience, I gotta say that there is nothing like a freshly cut slice of bread from a full loaf, where you choose how thick you want your slice to be instead of leaving it up to the machine
"Sliced bread is low bar." Yeah it's not that, "best thing since sliced bread," phrase was a double-edged metaphor. You did an excellent job thank you. °~•.☆.•~°
not all lidls have the bread cutting machine, but I much prefer to just tear it primal style anyway. what I want is for pre-sliced packaged bread to not b this shit and to prove it is not the invention of the century but a decrease in quality for the sake of convenience.
One bad loaf and you're toast..... it's 1 in the morning here and that made me happy! The only sliced bread I argue for is the good rye and/or pumpernickel. But it's a convenience thing, me being lazy and all. Great video, keep 'em coming!!

Moroccan here; I could say that we still have a strong bread culture, from flatbread (similar to that of the romans) to baguettes, we have variety and the importance of freshness (a bread two days after being made is already old) , and I really love to hear that many Europeans share the same sentiment, and I trust that other Arab and even Africans and Asians would feel the same too. Also, I just find it hilarious how American/ First world problems get always turned and twisted into "world problems".
I don't like it when people call old things better, being biased and not considering what modern does. and then proceeds to call it the "downfall of humanirty"

Coming from Belgium, I went for the first time to the USA last summer, and I was quite literally *horrified* by the bakery department in groceries stores. I never thought I would miss good ol' bread so much.
i feel its unfair to be calling *sliced bread* bad because the bread you're talking about is this specific American bread that just happened to be pre-sliced. We call it plastic bread because it tastes like plastic and also lasts for very long before going bad (this is bad because real bread goes bad a lot quicker)
The good thing is that Europe never really fell for the sliced bread meme. But in the sense of murica it does make sense that this kind of bread developed, due to their insistence on long shelf life and convenience.
Fun fact: way back during the Victorian times they would use powder that is made of bread because it would make it fancy but also can be sell at an higher price, but with lead you know what happens when you place lead in food.
Case for sliced bread: 1: It’s easy and cheap 2: Min-max sandwich material 3: The preservatives that make it “worse” also keep it from going bad (I just need bread that stays bread for more than a week) 4: Sliced bread doesn’t replace regular bread. Bakeries still exist for the good stuff. (We wouldn’t expect Earl Gray out of every Liptons packet) 5: I like sliced bread, taste and all, so I’d be sad if it disappeared.
1) It's not cheap if you measure nutrition per dollar. Bread way cheaper in europe too, because the market isn't saturated with sudo bread. 3) If america had built their cities around people and not cars, you would be able to buy fresh bread any-day in your street, so it's duration becomes not very relevant. Also, YOU CAN JUST PUT IT IN THE FREEZER! It will last months.
@@cancerino666 Interesting points, but I have some notes. 1) A loaf of store brand sliced bread costs a dollar, maybe 2 dollars at some stores (prices vary in different areas, but where I live, that is the standard). Also, a lot of foods are cheaper in “Europe”, though prices vary wildly depending on the country. Post-Soviet countries especially have very cheap food by American standards, and the entire EU is a free trade zone, so I don’t think the saturation of the “bread market” has anything to do with it. 2) As for poor urban planning, that isn’t the issue. The problem is that the loaf goes bad too quickly, especially if you live alone, so you have to pay for a whole second loaf that will also go bad too quickly. It has nothing to do with cars or infrastructure. It’s just economics, plain and simple. I acknowledge that really good bread exists, and that sandwiches and toast aren’t the only applications of bread. Bread can be a meal all on its own, and for that, a hearty and tasty loaf of bread is better than sliced bread, but for most people in America, bread is an ingredient instead of a meal, and sliced bread fills that role well. Edit: One more quick note regarding frozen bread. If I want a sandwich, but all I have is frozen bread, then what exactly are my options? I don’t want toast, so the toaster is useless. The oven will do the toaster’s job in way more time. The stove will crisp up the outside before thawing the inside, and the microwave will leave it soggy.
1. Bread is just ground grain mixed with water and yeast, risen and baked. There's no reason why ultra processed breads with added toxins should be cheaper; This is the problem with the American food industry in general. 2. That's subjective 3. Yes, we know how preservatives work. The problem is, if you're eating foods that give you metabolic diseases and put you into an early grave, it kinda defeats the point. European countries with far less preservatives and other chems in their food seem to feed their people just fine, and it would be odd of we of the super rich industrialized United States of America just could not find a way to produce cheap food that's not toxic. 4. The act of pre-slicing the bread isn't really what the vid is complaining about, so much as using it as a beginning point in talking about bread quality. 5. The sweetness of typical American sandwich bread is one thing, but you think bread can't taste good without ultra processed flour and preservatives?
Personally I don't like bread. I think bread became obsolete when plates and forks were invented because it's only purpose is to keep your hands clean while you hold the real food that's inside the bread. And when I hear Europeans call American bread cake, it convinces me that Europe must be a continent full of bland and disappointing cakes.
Honestly, I'm glad you brought awareness to this issue that came with our "lazier" lifestyle due to how easy it us for us to forget, our days are too short for the amount of stuff we gotta do to live well. Not only supermarket bread, but many other foods such as boxed juice, sauces, milk, turkey breast, butter and some stuff have become worse
Aa much as I like fancy bakery bread, I do have to admit there's something nice about bread that's pre-sliced and won't spoil if left on the counter for a week. Plus it fits oh so nicely in almost any toaster.
I'm glad in Europe (I'm from Poland) everyone eats normal real bread and not that sliced shit. Idk how in other countries but here in Poland, american "sliced bread" is marketed as "toast bread" as in bread only good for making toasts. Also the audacity for a lot of Americans to use the phrase "___ is the greatest invention since the sliced bread"
I didn't know sliced bread was... this! I thought it was just regular bread, but sliced. The audacity! I'm shocked! This is outrageous! It's literally 1984. Americans don't even know they're bread deprived because the world has been stolen away from them, all substance taken away!
To be fair, the saying is a bit outdated. I've never heard anyone say it outside of old TV shows. Much of America idolizes the innovations of the 1920-50s without realizing how our convenience and entertainment has robbed us of the necessary qualities of life
I’m American, and it’s not a common saying anymore. If you use it around anyone under the age of 25, they’ll probably look at you funny. And if you use it around American teenagers, they’ll probably make fun of you. I haven’t heard anybody say it at all within the last five years.
You impotent ignoramus! Bread isn't supposed to last forever! If you haven't eaten your bread after 1 day, it's on you! You had delicious, tasty bread and wasted it, like a bumbling buffoon baboon! And you have the audacity to complain about your own wasteful spending! You probably also prefer frozen ground beef to an actual steak, because the steak goes bad after a few days.
Thank god that at our local grocery store there's a little bakery corner where they make delicious bread. There's still sliced bread of course but we much prefer spending more for a better alternative
Fun fact most packaged bread is made using the Chorleywood bread process and is a practically a big blender that can increase pressure and create a vacuum. Which is the reason why it's always so soft and uniform cuz it's been controlled to come out perfectly every time.
It improves standardization of sandwiches. Adding too much meat, too much mustard, too much mayo, and too much butter are already issues- adding too much bread would throw my sandwich variation out of balance further. This was my defense thank you.
Although i'm forced to like your videos and accept them as absolute law due to my significant other, I still appreciate and enjoy the content. Thanks Poopie.
if you are in a german supermarket you can often take fresh bread and put it in a big machine that slices it for you. if you are worried about the shelf life, you can freeze bread but than it won't taste as good (still better than that cake-like toast) and you can put the frozen slice directly into the toaster. that's what I often do when I'm lazy. This way you can store it virtually forever.

In Romania bread is just regular bread put into a slicing machine by the clerk when you're purchasing it. Probably still has some chemicals but at least it's not a sponge.
First time I've heard someone refer to the agricultural revolution as the "infinite food glitch" and it absolutely sent me XD
Ok the jokes just keep getting better HOLY CROW
bread shouldn't have more than 3 ingredients, yet, if you read the back of supermarket bread...
yet so many 'flavour enhancers'
To be fair I make homemade bread and the ingredient list is 6:
Flour, yeast, sugar or honey (for the yeast to eat), salt, warm water, olive oil, and sometimes sesame seeds. However I still understand the point is bread company's ruin the simplicity all to make are ape brains go "mmm yummier" and so you forget about the lack of nutritional value in it
better than it becoming stale after a day
@nietur home made bread stays good for like a week
My mom told me that a lady at brams wanted to get a refund on moldy expired bread it was only one day after the expiration date
1:52 btw she didnt say that. Marie antoinette was actually a pretty good person and monarch, its just that the system she was living in was completely fucked so no matter what she did, she was doomed.
I've been making my own bread for almost a year now. Never buying a loaf from the store again.
How long does it last before getting hard?
The act of eat bread alone is inconceivable to me, like its just slightly bitter/savoury foam, calm down.
No way you're Bulgarian, this is one of the funniest and informative videos I have watched in ages. Продължавай в същия дух, сигурен съм че рано или късно алгоритъма ще те вдигне в небесата сестро!!!
My favorite thing is the article at 5:38 that uses the word ‘beef’ exactly like we do as a disagreement just 100 years ago
0:45 Huntergatherers took estimatedly 3-4 hours to get food, whereas farming took at least double that time. One can say, that wheat enslaved humanity. What farming did allow, was more food overall, which meant that some people didn't need to farm, leading to toilets and depression. This is insane
Sliced bread mostly became popular because the minuscule amount of cost to produce. The ingredients had more to do with large famines and droughts through the early 20th century.
As a long time breadetarian I like to consider myself a specialist as I do enjoy a lot of bread, and as I gotta give sliced bread the points for convenience, I gotta say that there is nothing like a freshly cut slice of bread from a full loaf, where you choose how thick you want your slice to be instead of leaving it up to the machine
I have lived my life on the belief that if you have more bread more people want to hang around you. It is nice to finally have my belief's confirmed.
"Sliced bread is low bar."
Yeah it's not that, "best thing since sliced bread," phrase was a double-edged metaphor.
You did an excellent job thank you.
°~•.☆.•~°
I am so happy i found your channel Poopie ! Its been three day and binge watched like 25 videos already
God damn why is this channel so good?????
Bakers still slice the normal bread. Just buy bread at the local bakery. If not possible you have my deepest sympathy. Have great day
not all lidls have the bread cutting machine, but I much prefer to just tear it primal style anyway. what I want is for pre-sliced packaged bread to not b this shit and to prove it is not the invention of the century but a decrease in quality for the sake of convenience.
One bad loaf and you're toast..... it's 1 in the morning here and that made me happy! The only sliced bread I argue for is the good rye and/or pumpernickel. But it's a convenience thing, me being lazy and all. Great video, keep 'em coming!!
I was so upset that I didn't have time and cut out the origins of the name pumpernickel.
I feel like this UA-cam channel is going to blow up here in the next 7 months amazing content love it.
Benn buying only flour instead of bread for three years and I can't go back
yeah bro having a spoon full of flour with a slice of turkey breast makes for a great sandwich!
you made me realize. Why tf am I buying pre sliced bread. I never even thought about it before.
0:33 marshmallow bread?
it’s not, it’s just a bun from China.
I really love your videos. I know you put a lot of hard work into them and they're so entertaining. I can definitely see you hitting 500k and beyond with this video style! Thank you again for all the entertainment
Uh, quite the larynx you got there 😰
She's Bulgarian after all, girls there are quirky like that.
@@Netukomso quirky
Moroccan here; I could say that we still have a strong bread culture, from flatbread (similar to that of the romans) to baguettes, we have variety and the importance of freshness (a bread two days after being made is already old) , and I really love to hear that many Europeans share the same sentiment, and I trust that other Arab and even Africans and Asians would feel the same too.
Also, I just find it hilarious how American/ First world problems get always turned and twisted into "world problems".
Mary Antoinette didnt say that. Its another history myth just like Napoleon being short.
I don't like bread, so I don't care. There's no way I'm going to spend extra money on artisanal bread when I can't tell the difference anyway.
i read a book on ultra processed food half a year ago, i make my own bread now
I don't like it when people call old things better, being biased and not considering what modern does. and then proceeds to call it the "downfall of humanirty"
Lord Poopie, your real voice suits you better than your fake one. Maybe you should be like real bread and start using it more often. Almost at 40k subscribers! 🎉
i feel like if this was any other youtuber the community wouldve made a controversy about it! glad poppie’s community isnt like that
@@muhammedgulkan4235 It's a running joke. Some viewers had previously insisted that she used a voice changer and that she was actually a man, but it was debunked when she made videos revealing her face. Check out her videos on her obsession with Kinder Surprise toys and Diet Coke.
This is the first video of yours that I'm watching and listening to you. BS your way about bread has earned you a subscriber. Congratulations!
Coming from Belgium, I went for the first time to the USA last summer, and I was quite literally *horrified* by the bakery department in groceries stores.
I never thought I would miss good ol' bread so much.
In france we still mostly use regular bread.
i feel its unfair to be calling *sliced bread* bad because the bread you're talking about is this specific American bread that just happened to be pre-sliced. We call it plastic bread because it tastes like plastic and also lasts for very long before going bad (this is bad because real bread goes bad a lot quicker)
The good thing is that Europe never really fell for the sliced bread meme.
But in the sense of murica it does make sense that this kind of bread developed, due to their insistence on long shelf life and convenience.
come to Germany, there is a bakery at every corner and what you call “sliced bread” is not even considered bread at all.
How expensive is it? Also sliced bread is massed produced in factories so It will never be in any bakery
@@evelynbrocious About 5 euros for a decent loaf.
Yeah but I noticed that 99% of those bakeries are big bakery chains, so the bread still feels very indsutrialized
Fun fact: way back during the Victorian times they would use powder that is made of bread because it would make it fancy but also can be sell at an higher price, but with lead you know what happens when you place lead in food.
Case for sliced bread:
1: It’s easy and cheap
2: Min-max sandwich material
3: The preservatives that make it “worse” also keep it from going bad (I just need bread that stays bread for more than a week)
4: Sliced bread doesn’t replace regular bread. Bakeries still exist for the good stuff. (We wouldn’t expect Earl Gray out of every Liptons packet)
5: I like sliced bread, taste and all, so I’d be sad if it disappeared.
Number 1 and 3 are so importamt and were absolutely left out of the video, and would have totally made a difference *facepalm*
@@emimartinicnormal bread can be cheap too.
And most places in the world can just walk to a store and buy bread. US urban planning that is insane
1) It's not cheap if you measure nutrition per dollar. Bread way cheaper in europe too, because the market isn't saturated with sudo bread.
3) If america had built their cities around people and not cars, you would be able to buy fresh bread any-day in your street, so it's duration becomes not very relevant. Also, YOU CAN JUST PUT IT IN THE FREEZER! It will last months.
@@cancerino666 Interesting points, but I have some notes.
1) A loaf of store brand sliced bread costs a dollar, maybe 2 dollars at some stores (prices vary in different areas, but where I live, that is the standard). Also, a lot of foods are cheaper in “Europe”, though prices vary wildly depending on the country. Post-Soviet countries especially have very cheap food by American standards, and the entire EU is a free trade zone, so I don’t think the saturation of the “bread market” has anything to do with it.
2) As for poor urban planning, that isn’t the issue. The problem is that the loaf goes bad too quickly, especially if you live alone, so you have to pay for a whole second loaf that will also go bad too quickly. It has nothing to do with cars or infrastructure. It’s just economics, plain and simple.
I acknowledge that really good bread exists, and that sandwiches and toast aren’t the only applications of bread. Bread can be a meal all on its own, and for that, a hearty and tasty loaf of bread is better than sliced bread, but for most people in America, bread is an ingredient instead of a meal, and sliced bread fills that role well.
Edit: One more quick note regarding frozen bread. If I want a sandwich, but all I have is frozen bread, then what exactly are my options? I don’t want toast, so the toaster is useless. The oven will do the toaster’s job in way more time. The stove will crisp up the outside before thawing the inside, and the microwave will leave it soggy.
1. Bread is just ground grain mixed with water and yeast, risen and baked. There's no reason why ultra processed breads with added toxins should be cheaper; This is the problem with the American food industry in general.
2. That's subjective
3. Yes, we know how preservatives work. The problem is, if you're eating foods that give you metabolic diseases and put you into an early grave, it kinda defeats the point. European countries with far less preservatives and other chems in their food seem to feed their people just fine, and it would be odd of we of the super rich industrialized United States of America just could not find a way to produce cheap food that's not toxic.
4. The act of pre-slicing the bread isn't really what the vid is complaining about, so much as using it as a beginning point in talking about bread quality.
5. The sweetness of typical American sandwich bread is one thing, but you think bread can't taste good without ultra processed flour and preservatives?
This might be my new favorite channel! Love your humor
I’m gonna do this before someone else snatches it from me
This video is the best thing since sliced bread
A frequent custom here is when you drop a slice of bread you have to kiss it after you pick it up.
Personally I don't like bread. I think bread became obsolete when plates and forks were invented because it's only purpose is to keep your hands clean while you hold the real food that's inside the bread. And when I hear Europeans call American bread cake, it convinces me that Europe must be a continent full of bland and disappointing cakes.
“the greatest thing since sliced bread” sets the bar so low. like idk a potato peeler? the net they use to package oranges?
Honestly, I'm glad you brought awareness to this issue that came with our "lazier" lifestyle due to how easy it us for us to forget, our days are too short for the amount of stuff we gotta do to live well. Not only supermarket bread, but many other foods such as boxed juice, sauces, milk, turkey breast, butter and some stuff have become worse
Aa much as I like fancy bakery bread, I do have to admit there's something nice about bread that's pre-sliced and won't spoil if left on the counter for a week. Plus it fits oh so nicely in almost any toaster.
Nein!!! This is not Brot 🍞! 🇩🇪🇩🇪
in fact she said: let them eat brioche. that is a more expensive bread
I'm glad in Europe (I'm from Poland) everyone eats normal real bread and not that sliced shit. Idk how in other countries but here in Poland, american "sliced bread" is marketed as "toast bread" as in bread only good for making toasts.
Also the audacity for a lot of Americans to use the phrase "___ is the greatest invention since the sliced bread"
I'm from europe and I eat sliced bread .. like, .. often
I didn't know sliced bread was... this! I thought it was just regular bread, but sliced. The audacity! I'm shocked! This is outrageous!
It's literally 1984. Americans don't even know they're bread deprived because the world has been stolen away from them, all substance taken away!
To be fair, the saying is a bit outdated. I've never heard anyone say it outside of old TV shows. Much of America idolizes the innovations of the 1920-50s without realizing how our convenience and entertainment has robbed us of the necessary qualities of life
I’m American, and it’s not a common saying anymore. If you use it around anyone under the age of 25, they’ll probably look at you funny. And if you use it around American teenagers, they’ll probably make fun of you. I haven’t heard anybody say it at all within the last five years.
"I hate sliced bread" mfs when their loaf turns into solid rock after 1 and a half day.
You impotent ignoramus!
Bread isn't supposed to last forever!
If you haven't eaten your bread after 1 day, it's on you!
You had delicious, tasty bread and wasted it, like a bumbling buffoon baboon! And you have the audacity to complain about your own wasteful spending!
You probably also prefer frozen ground beef to an actual steak, because the steak goes bad after a few days.
Bring back old school bread
Thank god that at our local grocery store there's a little bakery corner where they make delicious bread. There's still sliced bread of course but we much prefer spending more for a better alternative
"Sliced bread is a social anomaly" would go hard on a t shirt
Fun fact most packaged bread is made using the Chorleywood bread process and is a practically a big blender that can increase pressure and create a vacuum. Which is the reason why it's always so soft and uniform cuz it's been controlled to come out perfectly every time.
It improves standardization of sandwiches. Adding too much meat, too much mustard, too much mayo, and too much butter are already issues- adding too much bread would throw my sandwich variation out of balance further. This was my defense thank you.
You're really good at drawing wonder bread! Do you take commissions?
i am a bread hater, a hater of bread even. i eat bread so it DIES
6:36 "Continue eating cake" omg 😂😂😂 someone call the burn unit
Although i'm forced to like your videos and accept them as absolute law due to my significant other, I still appreciate and enjoy the content. Thanks Poopie.
sacrificing convenience of a youtube video to the notification squad
Bro used the 20 years outdated food pyramid 💀
Breads not that big a part anymore
if you are in a german supermarket you can often take fresh bread and put it in a big machine that slices it for you. if you are worried about the shelf life, you can freeze bread but than it won't taste as good (still better than that cake-like toast)
and you can put the frozen slice directly into the toaster. that's what I often do when I'm lazy. This way you can store it virtually forever.
This might be just a US thing, in Germany most Bread isn't Toast you are referring to.
I randomly found this channel and now im addicted (idk why i always get hooked to channel like this, the first time i get into these kind of vid is because of samonella academy)
German bread still goated
Coated in cum
i went to scotland on vacations last year and coming from Spain where you can find amazing bread shops to just having access to sliced bread that taste like vinegar was pretty depressing. nice video poopie
I will never, ever buy sliced bread again in my life
the collapse of "bread" companies by poopy
In my country bakers were used to be dunked in the town river and shamed publicly for selling lighter loaves of bread.
Use you’re real voice more often bbg😩
Can this guy be banned?
Hearing stuff like that makes me glad I'm European
