We called it whipped white flour sponge. We ate Koeplingers or Hillbilly bread, or from the local Milano bakery. I still buy Koeplingers and artisan breads. |

When I was a little boy I longed for my Mom to buy Wonder Bread. She always bought Kilpatricks Thin Sandwich Sliced white bread. I recall being in Safeway when I was about 5 and asked her to buy a loaf of Wonder Bread, to which her reply was negatory. I remember telling her that she must not want me to grow strong and healthy on 7 different ways, which was the Wonder Bread slogan on TV at the time. I beleive her retort to that comment was something along the lines of, "Bulls**t Eddie", LOL.
Now I wouldn't touch Wonder Bread with a 10 foot pole. Eddie |

It's never left Canada.. We had Wonder Bread home delivery when I was a kid back in the day. Along with the bread they also had all the other stuff like twinkies, cupcakes and sno balls but it was rare that my mother would buy those for us. I go through a lot of bread but only buy Wonder now for my peanut butter sandwiches.. To me it's not a peanut butter samwich unless it's on squishy wonder bread. |

Captain Kangaroo show had Wonder Bread, as one of their sponsors. I myself didn't like wonder for PB, and J's, as the whole sandwich would stick to the roof of your mouth. I can remember having to use your fingers, to pry it off the roof of your mouth, and then washing it down with a glass of milk. Ahhh, memories...
My mother always bought store brand bread, for the price. I can remember sales of like 4/$1.00. I always liked whole wheat bread, so much so, White bread actually makes me kind of green, while trying to eat it. Oh Well I Digress... Hugs, David |

Didn't even notice it was gone. When I was a kid we ate Wonder. I liked to bake their dinner rolls (yes I know, while other boys were playing football, I wanted to bake). We've been eating Martin's for awhile now. Plus bread from our local Italian bakery. On occasion I'll buy "sonnenblumen brot". German sunflower (seed) bread. |

Wonder Bread brand is now owned by Bimbo bakeries. I worked for Hostess /IBC and they owned Wonder Bread and when they decided to go bankrupt, the holding company then decided to sell off the brands to the highest bidder. I can tell you that its not the same bread at all.
Malcolm...I buy that Martins butter bread all the time...very tasty! |

We never had it that I recall. Mrs. Baird's was the standard. Sometimes Town Talk. |

There is little I dislike more than Wonder Bread, it's like eating cotton candy. It makes me cringe. Soft, floppy, collapses if the butter is just a tad bit hard. Will never see it in my home. I only get 12 grain bread, or make my own sourdough rye. |

make everything richer. It has eggs in it. I liked the Roman Meal bread personally. One Christmas we were at my grandma's in Pa. and I asked if she tried it. "Yes, we don't like it." They were D'Italiano by Tasty bread eaters, but she often made her own. |

Well, here is the ONE THING that I'm sure Wonder Bread is good for--and that's French Toast!

Guess I never missed it.
French toast: We prefer the large "homemade" loaf from the bread machine for French Toast. I have other recipes and make other breads by hand or with the Kitchenaid, but for French toast we like the traditional white, then cut about 3/4 inch thick, soak in the custard mix. Eww-La-la. (that's French isn't it?" |

Texas-French Toast! That has me wondering if I've ever used anything thick-cut--so I have got to try it...
My freezer is loaded w/ wheat bread, and the ever-shrinking bag of Wonder, whereas the only bread the wife & kid eat, Sunbeam White, or more often a store's White, private-brand is in the fridge... My all-time favorite is Hillbilly bread, so w/ some grease in my skillet, and another large bowl & a fork (the whisk is in the dishwasher) I am hankering top make French Toast with that... I have some cracked wheat by Koepplinger & I think I couple loaves of their reg. whole wheat--so in short, I eat "good for you bread" & that means WHOLE WHEAT, whereas my dad won't eat anything nowadays but multi-grain--he and I are typically on bird feeding kicks, meaning he scrapes out leftovers with old mark-ed down white bread (he NEVER eats WHITE--health conscious, you know) and actually buys seed & goes by my late-mom's tradition of filling her now-deteriorating bird feeders... Whereas I toss out everything 'bread', and wipe out grease and other food-debris with (though meat juice I use to make soup) to feed my birds... The homemade bread idea seems economical, as we tend to run out of it, though I can get one loaf of what I buy to outlast what the wimmen-folk eat, which is usually one loaf of their stuff... So I would sure like a bread maker if it ever solves my constant running out, provided it's easy to use & keep clean... -- Dave |
