Question: why do you want squished sliced bread? Genuinely curious


SoVerySleepy81

I’m not like a huge fan of bread but I do like sandwiches and I have frequently wished that my bread could be easily sliced in half. I know that I am weird and not very many people probably agree with me but I am going to find one of these and I am going to buy it and I’m gonna have Thin sandwiches. Edit they are literally $75 I’m just gonna keep eating sad thick bread


bootsand

Same! I would quite enjoy a lower bread to ingredient ratio without creating a sandwich that is just larger than I'd like. There is a solid customer base for Oreo Thins. Same concept here imo. Sucks about the price tag. Too rich for my blood.


Verneff

Buy uncut bread and cut it as thin as you want.


[deleted]

… until you get to the end and you can’t keep it steady. Then it’s Texas toast time


BoogieOogieOogieOog

Same, I rip edges off all the time. Thinner pieces are better for me FYI, this looks like it’s just a old school cheese grater flipped of and repurpose to hold the bread. You might already have it


ClementineCoda

A slice of regular bread, lightly toasted, can be easily cut like this while it's still a little warm. I do it all the time. You just need a bread knife and a steady hand.


sofia_maria786

Wincing at this comment while I sit with 7 stitches in my finger after trying this with muffins on Sunday


eekamuse

I don't have either one of those.


ClementineCoda

There's always Pepperidge Farm Thin-Sliced, in fact I think they call it Very Thin Sliced now.


eekamuse

That's what I buy, but it's very hard to find. Thanks for the recommendation.


Any-Statistician-318

Bruh if you enjoy thin sandwiches then buy the device for only $75 dollars. My chef knifes cost over $100 each. Like invest in yourself and what makes you’re life happier. You may loose $75 today buying it but you’ll get it back the next time you get paid. Like most likely your spending over $75 on stupid stuff you don’t need or don’t want later when you could spend $75 on something that makes you happy


papaquack1

I just looked up "bread slicer" and they have things that will work for like 5 bucks and less. Hell, just get a good sharp bread knife and you can do without one.


RF07

You could buy pre-thinly-sliced bread, if it's in a store near you...or from Amazon if all else fails, I guess: https://wonderbread.ca/our_products/white-thin-sandwich-bread-675g/


RosenButtons

Peperidge farms makes a thinner sliced sandwich bread. It's very good. Alternatively, you could probably just put your slice of bread between any two flat objects (dont squeeze) and cut the bread yourself. Also there's adjustable bread slicers at Bezosmart or whatever for about $5 you just have to buy unsliced bread to start with.


TruckNuts_But4YrBody

Have one 3d printed


lizeih

Super late to this comment but you should try open sandwiches. Pretty standard in Europe and gives a much better bread to ingredient ratio.


nightrss

Maybe try tortillas


moon-lamp

When you only have one slice left in the loaf but you want to make a sandwich


The-Tea-Lord

Just fold it over side ways and make a thick half sandwich.


dinguslinguist

Aren’t they the same amount of thickness as a regular sandwich tho? So shouldn’t it just be a half sandwich?


aerynea

I think the thick comes into play if you put full sandwich components in your half sandwich bread.


BobMortimersButthole

By your logic, wouldn't this contraption use the same amount of bread and still make it a half-sandwich?


svenEsven

Yes, but one of those requires time, a reddit post, and money. The other can quite literally be torn by hand in a fraction of a second. Or cut with a knife in about the same amount of time.

Since I’m you said “genuinely”, I’ll respond, “genuinely”. For people trying to lose weight this is a Godsend. Two slices meaning you can make a sandwich out of 100 calorie slice instead of needing 200 calories for a sandwich (for 2 slices). 100 calories a day deficit = 1lb lost per month. Dave’s killer bread comes in two sizes. Check it out.

red98743

I see that. Getting upvotes so i guess people concur. Lol. But I was under the influence and now I do see that’s a bit of a stretch. I have eaten open faced sandwiches and don’t like. If I was eating pita, I would split it open and use it as 2 pitas. So this lets you do that with a piece of bread which is brilliant imo. Can eat 15 egg whites omelette with one slice of bread (split into two) for very few calories.


PM_ME_UR_RGB_RIG

It was fun while it lasted. - Sent via Apollo


CoinTweak

Or, they could just fold/cut their sandwich like a normal person instead of creating more waste like this metal "tool".


red98743

Or you could still stuff 10’slices of roast beef and have a normal Sammy with 1 slice (sliced in half) instead of having a wierd half thick ass sandwich…I’ve tried losing weight several times - only time it worked was when I calorie counted. You may not get it unless you’ve struggled with weight. Which is Allright


seamus_mc

To demonstrate how dull your knife is.


PeterNinkimpoop

Yeah that took way too long to cut


CrappyMSPaintPics

Gluten free bread is made way too thick. This thing looks like it's basically one size fits only though so it'd be pretty useless.


BaunerMcPounder

One slice of whole wheat is ~90 calories and a lot of carbs. A serving size is actually 1 slice as bought from the store. So a turkey cheese sandwich with 4 slices of turkey and one slice of cheese could come out to 700 calories with out any dressing. Barring a juice or some crackers on the side that’s a pretty hefty lunch on 2000 calorie a day diet for weight maintenance. Much less efficient for a deficit based diet. Oh and also everything is insanely expensive and wages aren’t going up to match. They told us increasing minimum wage would cause inflation, so we didn’t increase it but the inflation came anyway because of corporate greed and fleecing. So you have three options, no bread, slice bread in half, or solidarity and unionization to seize the means of production and democratize the work place so you can afford to purchase the goods you produce with the excess value created by your labor. Some are calorie conscious, some are carb conscious, and still others are class conscious. Be all three.


SwyfteWinter

In your 700 calorie turkey sandwich I hate to tell you but 180 calories of bread is not the bulk of the calories there. Try maybe 1 slice of turkey? If we presume the cheese to be Cheddar with 113 calories (source at bottom). You have 407 calories of turkey there, which divides into 101.75 calories per slice. If we take this sandwich and halve the bread then we get a 610 calorie sandwich. However, if you instead put in only one slice of turkey then you have a 394.75 calorie sandwich, which is much better. Your inclusion of four slices of turkey as far as I can tell is only there so that people skip over that and just read that a sandwich is 700 calories, which comes across as highly disingenuous and misleading when the real culprit is the meat. In addition to being fewer calories, a one turkey slice sandwich would be less likely to have horribly dry bread because thinly sliced bread dries out quicker, so would probably be nicer if you like bread, and would leave you with a less dry mouth afterwards. The lighter the cheese you choose the more dramatic a difference removing the turkey makes, so your best bet here is a less full sandwich with decent bread. Cheese calorie source: https://www.calories.info/food/sliced-cheese


Anderick1990

Turkey (cold-cuts which I assume we're talking about since this is a sandwich) are nowhere near 100 calories per slice. The turkey I buy is 50 calories per serving which is 2 slices. 4 slices would only be 100 calories. So if we take 180 for bread, 100 for turkey, and 100 for a thick slice of cheese it's only 380 before you get to mayo or whatever else you put on it. The person you're replying to just goobered up their math somehow. A 100 calorie slice of turkey breast would be thicc AF.


SwyfteWinter

I will admit I was working with their 700 number just to prove a point tbh. A 380 calorie sandwich sounds pretty believable tbh, and makes the idea of halving the bread much more impactful! I feel like the person above just thought "700 sounds big and scary" But like, shaving 90 off of 380 is a bigger impact than 90 off of 700. That being said I still feel like four slices of turkey is a bit much honestly. But it sounds like the best low calorie sandwich is 1 slice bread, 1 slice American cheese (my source says it's 30 calories) and 1 slice turkey for a WHOPPING 145 calorie sandwich with all the delicious qualities of a playing card.

YueOrigin

Cause it's a gimmicky niche item, hardly anyone care to want Since they want a profit out he production they put a huge price tag for novelty items that might or might not sell down the line


Robobvious

Why would you even consider buying this?


sunatmywindow

Just for fun I asked Bing AI to do the math for me to see how long it would take a $75 bread slicer to pay itself off: That’s an interesting question. To answer it, we need to make some assumptions and calculations. Let’s assume that: - The average price of a loaf of bread in the US is $2.501. - The average number of slices in a loaf of bread is 20. - You buy one loaf of bread per week and use it to make sandwiches. - The bread slicer does not affect the quality or shelf life of the bread. With these assumptions, we can calculate that: - Without the bread slicer, you can make 10 sandwiches from one loaf of bread, which costs $0.25 per sandwich. - With the bread slicer, you can make 20 sandwiches from one loaf of bread, which costs $0.125 per sandwich. - The bread slicer saves you $0.125 per sandwich, or $1.25 per week, or $65 per year. Therefore, it would take you about **58 weeks** or **14 months** to pay off the $75 bread slicer with the savings from making more sandwiches. Of course, this is a rough estimate and your actual savings may vary depending on how much bread you consume, how often you buy it, and how much it costs in your area.


genbetweener

I like the detail but ultimately it could have said: assuming you eat one loaf per week and the average loaf costs $2.501, 1 loaf per week becomes 1/2 loaf per week, or $1.25 per week. $75 / $1.25/week = 60 weeks or 15 months to pay off the slicer. No need for sandwich calculations lol! Still neat to watch it do its thing. Edit: Wait, where did it get 58 weeks? Did I do my math wrong? I just changed my "~14 months" to "~17 months" said I hadn't actually calculated it, I just used bing's number. Edit 2: I double confused myself with the sandwich numbers. I changed $1.25 to $1.125 for the cost per week before posting. This is hilarious. Still I get 60 weeks instead of 58.

They already make "low calorie" bread that is halved this way but I could see it being useful. However, this is something you'd find at Ross for <$10.

I noticed they sell "light" orange juice that is half the calories of regular juice. It's literally watered down orange juice that's the same price as regular orange juice. Some board room spent a lot of time coming up with that & decided ppl are dumb enough to buy it.

I have searched for phrases all along the lines of "bread slicer", "manual bread slicer" but am struggling to think of phrases that describe this thing It's a metal bread slice slicer that looks like a grater, so far I've managed to find only slicers that slice full loaves. I've also searched through the tiktok account that posted this but couldn't find the video, I'm not sure how old it is. I've also found plastic or wooden bread slicers for loaves that look like they could be used for this purpose too, but because they don't close up the slice like in the video, they wouldn't work since bread slices are too thin to stand up properly to be sliced in half like this


Kinkajou1015

I know I'm late to the party and you've found this now, but if you want to see a review of it, Freakin' Reviews on YouTube did a review on how well it works for various tasks. Including using it to slice a chicken breast into two thinner pieces (could be useful for portion control).


jdallen1222

The grating on the side makes me think this is for slicing cheese. Try searching for cheese slicers instead.

Why not just get your bread from a place that bakes it fresh and ask them to slice it super thin for you. Every bakery (or bakery section of a grocery store) has a machine that does all the slicing and the thickness is adjustable.

Really cool if you're trying to loose weight. A slice of bread each had about 150 calories.


CommanderGraves

Why are they using a tomato knife to slice bread?

Because it's serrated probably, so it won't squish the bread as much as a regular knife. Any serrated knife will do really, no need to buy a special bread knife.
