The best invention
An archive picture of brothers Edward and Andy Slice, inventors of Sliced Bread.
Before this product came along, people would often have conversations that tapered off, as they struggled to finish the sentence "why, that's the best thing since...er...um".
Now, of course, we take Sliced Bread in our stride, but as we can see here, it wasn't all plain sailing.
The brothers are looking at the first prototype - it seems they have realised something is wrong with the product, but haven't yet quite worked out what.
