The endcap covers the rest for them to stay fresh longer. It has a goddamn job to do.

I doubt the end being there makes much of a difference, it's already sliced and air can easily get into the cracks. Plus you're always taking the front piece which has supposedly had the most contact with the environment, so it doesn't have much of a chance to go bad. Furthermore by reaching your grubby fingers around to sneak a middle piece you probably pose a bigger risk of contamination to the loaf.

I'm not convinced this method keeps bread longer until it's put to the test.

dude, i love the first slice!

please dont take the context of the meme, as it might look bad

How so?

philia is the word for love in ancient greek, while pedo means child

I’m sorry but it still hasn’t clicked for me…

Edit: oh wait I read your comment wrong. I thought you were saying not to take it out of the context of the image when you were saying the opposite. Ok now I get it!

When I was a kid, I could sit and eat an entire loaf of Sunmaid Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Literally the whole loaf in one sitting. I probably still could. Yum. Raisin bread.

Your comment is making me get up and make toast. Sadly, I don't have any raisin bread.

You can always poke little holes in the toast and stick raisins in them.

He says now after I stuffed my face with two pieces of toast.

Just 2?? Those are rookie numbers kid!

True, but I had a client appointment in like 10 mins so my time to toast ratio was not great. Now I can eat like 20 pieces. As is tradition.

First slice and last slice, AKA "The Dad Bread"

In days of old, my father ate the bread ends.

Now that I have a daughter, I am the one who eats the bread ends

We do this not because we enjoy them, but because it is our duty as fathers.

That or because otherwise my wife will just throw them to the dog. What a waste of perfectly good bread!

In some parts of Mexico, the end caps are called the "suegras," the word for mother-in-law, because no one wants them. I think it's meant to sound like "sobras" which means leftovers.

I wonder what it says about me that I eat the first piece first.

I do too. I try to get it before anyone fingers around with it to get to the slices below. Butt bread is fine, but fingered butt bread...

Must be really shitty bread because first and last slices are the best

Just make the first and last slices bigger! Damn you bread warlocks!

just scarf down the extra crusty bread by itself. Its not suitable for sandwiches, but you know, just the bread by itself is still fine.

I love the end slices but hate when they are cut so thin that they fall apart in your hand.

I'll even eat the last slice, but the first one is destined for the trash
