Today on Modern Mechanix we have this nifty gas mask, some cool looking deco buildings from 1932, a dead ringer for Dexter’s grandfather, a painful looking vibrator, the King of England’s first motorcar and a German scientist’s tale of woe titled: “I WAS A SLAVE-SCIENTIST IN RUSSIA”. You know how people always say “That’s the greatest thing since sliced bread!”, well here’s what they’re talking about, the origin of pre-sliced bread.

    the slice bread story is pretty interesting.

    It looks like before sliced bread they might have said “It’s the greatest thing since wrapped bread”
