		The first sliced bread was considered a wonder, so it's quite appropriate that it was first sold under the name Wonder Bread.
		A baker and inventor by the name of Otto Frederick Rohwedder toyed with the idea of a bread slicer for 15 years, and by January of 1928, he had perfected it.
		Unfortunately, since sliced bread tended to grow stale more quickly, he had to then find a way to keep the slices fresh as long as possible.

		pre-sliced, packaged bread has only been available since 1928, when Otto Frederick Rohwedder introduced the world’s first mechanical bread slicer.

		This gave a boost to another new invention: Charles Strife's spring-loaded, automatic, pop-up toaster which had been languishing on the shelves since 1926.

		Godin offered a history of sliced bread to illustrate his first point: the value of promotion.
		It was Otto Frederick Rohwedder who thought to sell bread in slices in 1913, but not until Wonder Bread popularized it in 1930 did it catch on with consumers and rival companies.
		Godin urged businesses and their owners to stand out from the "invisible" crowd of competitors by making themselves "remarkable," and discussed how buyers are now in more control than ever of whether, when and how they will receive promotional messages or "permission" marketing.
