I watched several people fight over Wonder Bread display pieces at an auction. One of the things they sold was something wrapped in that paper to look like a loaf of bread.Didn’t sliced bread used to come wrapped in wax paper instead of clear plastic?
Oddly enough, I went to a Salvation Army that was trying to sell an entire roll of NOS vintage Wonder Bread wrapping paper.

And another, probably my absolute favorite, which is not considered appropriate for inclusion on the website maintained by Condé Nast:When I was seven I found a copy of the 25th anniversary collection of New Yorker cartoons. I loved that book. It informed my reading for years. I was particularly fond of Richard Taylor's stuff : "A revised statuary for the City of Tomorrow", "Our Modern Gallery of Ancient Favorites", "Oh, THAT'S Herbert's Muse", and "Practically all my calls come from the "National Geographic" all still make me smile.
...The ends of a wax-paper loaf were often sealed with octagonal gummed labels, which might be printed with some sort of collectable image: a baseball player, a comic-book character, a cowboy star who endorsed the bread, or some such thing as that, or perhaps a recipe...
Eat Bread, or Johnny Sain will come to your house and punch you in the face.
True, which is why I use it regularly (though I replace "cr*p" with it's more common synonym that begins with the letter "s"). Because it's less frequently used, it tends to gain peoples' attention better than it's bovine cousin "b.s.".Your really don't hear "Horse Cr*p" like you used to -

There are quite a few people who are "equine enthusiasts" in and around our neighborhood as well; a surprisingly large number considering we're in a suburb that's only about 15 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. When I was growing up here there was a woman on our street who had stables and a training ring on her property. She babysat me on occasion, so I was maybe 4 or 5 years old (as best I can recall) the first time I rode...well, "rode" is an overstatement; "sat on" a horse would be more accurate.Ah yes, equine effluent. We hear about it a lot around here, as there are a lot of folks into horses...
