Editing Sliced bread (section)

==Around the world==

Due to its convenience, sliced bread is popular in many parts of the world, and the usual thickness varies by company and country:

* In the United Kingdom, sliced bread is sold as "Extra Thick", "Thick", "Medium" or "Thin", ranging from 16&nbsp;mm down to 10&nbsp;mm.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Knapman|first=Joshua|date=2017-10-18|title=Brace's has changed its bread because it wasn't thick enough|url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/braces-changed-bread-first-time-13775291|website=WalesOnline|language=en}}</ref>
* In the Republic of Ireland, the most popular bread type is known as "sliced pan",<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/ireland/article6860430.ece|title=Scientists in Cork find a way to keep bread fresher|publisher=Times Online|access-date=December 26, 2009| location=London | first=Gabrielle | last=Monaghan | date=October 4, 2009}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> sold in 800- or 400-gram loaves, wrapped in [[wax paper]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Wax Paper|url=https://brennansbread.ie/behind-every-loaf/wax-paper|access-date=2021-01-17|website=Brennans Bread|language=en}}</ref>
* In Japan, the same half-loaf of bread is labeled by the number of slices it is cut into<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ishikawajet.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/familiar-products-at-japanese-supermarkets/|title=Familiar Products at Japanese Supermarkets|author=Tammy|publisher=|first=Ishikawa JET|website=ishikawajet.wordpress.com|date=July 9, 2009}}</ref> (commonly a four or six cut, but also eight or ten), meaning a higher number is a thinner cut. Whole cut loaves are rarely seen. Thin sliced crustless "[[sandwich bread]]" is also sold in Japan, since regular four–six slice bread is deemed too thick.
* In Canada and the United States, [[Texas toast]] is a type of packaged bread sliced twice as thick as most sliced bread.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Hatic|first=Dana|date=2018-06-21|title=What's So Texan About Texas Toast?|url=https://www.eater.com/2018/6/21/17468516/texas-toast-origins-recipe|access-date=2021-01-17|website=Eater|language=en}}</ref>
* In Australia most sliced bread slices are about 18&nbsp;mm thick, known as "toast" thickness, while 12–13&nbsp;mm is known as "sandwich". Less common is "café" thickness, about 24&nbsp;mm.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.abpatlas.com.au/bakery-products/bread-slicers/atlas-single-and-dual-head-bread-slicers|title=Atlas Single and Dual Head Bread Slicers|publisher=Australian Bread and Pizzeria Atlas|access-date=22 June 2023}}</ref>
