This week, its all about food
1 / 10 | On July 7, 1928, Iowa-born jeweller Otto Frederick Rohwedder sold this item for the first time. Others resisted this idea because they were certain the product would fall apart and quickly go stale. It soon became a hit and was advertised as the greatest step forward in that industry. What did Rohwedder sell, which from then on became the standard against which all inventions are measured, according to a popular idiom?
Answer : Sliced Bread. ‘Greatest thing since sliced bread’
