Sliced bread was invented by Otto Rohwedder in 1927.

He filed for a patent on his new slicing-and-wrapping device. U.S.Patent No. 1,867,377 was issued to him on July 12, 1932.Up until then, something else had claim to "the best thing since........." Despite years of exhaustive research, I have not found out what was the nest thing "before" sliced bread.
