Poll question: Bread: White or Wheat?
Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 01:55 PM by elfwitch
If you flat out had to choose one or the other for plain old sandwich bread (Wonder Bread, Ms. Bairds, Buttercrust, Roman Meal, Sara Lee, etc) which do you prefer?

What is your favorite brand?

This is mine:

1. Wheat...definitely wheat
I was one of those weirdos who didn't even like white bread when they were a kid.

22. When did they start calling it 'wheat' instead of 'whole wheat'?
I mean, of your whitest, squishiest most Wondrous bread is still made with flour ground from wheat, right? They're all wheat, unles, they're corn or oats or something even stranger. SO what's with that? Has whole wheat done a marketing survey, held some focus groups, & they decided the product would move better without the whole?

10. Have you ever looked at the people with
a cart full of white bread in the checkout line?
As I travel I find there are places that do not offer wheat bread as choice, mostly in the mid-west. I refer to this area as the
"Great Mid-Waist".

16. Wheat
unless its a baguette or Italian bread. I drive by a Wonder Bread factory on my way to work. When the wind is in the right direction it does smell really good.

18. When I was a kid...
I lived in San Antonio and one of the standard elementary school field trips was to the Buttercrust Bakery. I looked forward to that every year.
