"Best thing since sliced bread..."

Otto Rohwedder was an American inventor and engineer who created the first automatic bread slicing machine. Otto first had a career as a jeweler, which led to owning three jewelry stores. He used his work with watches and jewelry to create inventions for new machines. Convinced he could develop a bread slicing machine, he sold his jewelry stores to fund the development and effort to manufacture these machines. Years later once finally getting these machines to work and into production, a fire broke out in the factory destroying all his prototypes and blueprints. Otto had to go out and get funding and go back to the drawing board. Years later (in 1927) he successfully designed the first machine that not only sliced loafs of bread, but also wrapped it. The first machine was sold commercially on July 7, 1928. Within a couple years most of the bread companies converted over into selling pre-sliced bread leading to pop up toasters, higher bread consumption, more jams, and the reduction of countless injuries to mothers thumbs
