The only thing that makes me wonder about Wonder Bread is why anyone would eat a slab of chemically treated plastic posing as a slice of bread. Why are all those mass produced breads like Wonder, Sunbeam et al even being sold!
Three reasons:
1. You can’t beat what my parents called cotton batting bread for things such as diner hot turkey/beef sandwiches, peanut butter sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches or toast. The fancier unchemically treated bread just isn’t right for those things.
2. Price.
3. Nostalgia/tradition.
Back in the fifties our family had home delivery from a Lewis Bakeries breadman. Lewis Bakeries was a London institution and my bread of choice for peanut butter sandwiches and toast was Lewis Snowflake bread until Lewis closed its doors in the face of competition from the mega bakeries early this century.
