Serverless is the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread?

History Lesson Otto Frederick Rohwedder of Davenport, Iowa, United States, invented the first loaf-at-a-time bread-slicing machine in 1912 First commercial sliced bread was available in July 7, 1928 Sliced bread was shortly banned in the US in 1943 to support the war As commercially sliced bread resulted in uniform and somewhat thinner slices, people ate more slices of bread at a time, and ate bread more frequently, because of the ease of eating another piece of bread. This increased consumption of bread and, in turn, increased consumption of spreads, such as jam, to put on the bread
