It was first sold in 1928, advertised as "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped".<ref>{{Cite web|title=How Sliced Bread Became the 'Greatest Thing'|url=https://time.com/3946461/sliced-bread-history/|access-date=2021-10-06|website=Time magazine|date=July 7, 2015 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite press release |title=Happy 85th Birthday, Sliced Bread |date=July 5, 2013 |publisher=Grand River Historical Society Museum
