Transcript

Y'all when one loaf of white bread was basically the whole grocery store? When I was growing up, white bread had range to it. You didn't have hamburger buns. White bread. No hot dog buns. Fold that slice of bread around a hot dog and keep it moving. French toast, white bread. Spaghetti sandwich, baby. White bread. Sugar sandwich. Syrup sandwich. Mustard sandwich. And don't get me started on the white bread MacGyver of the kitchen. Give it two minutes on a struggling grocery budget, something and somehow everything tasted good. When I was growing up between Wonder bread and Sunbeam bread. Because in our day, like, white bread wasn't just sitting around waiting to become toast. That loaf had jobs. It was the Swiss Army knife of struggle meals. So me, minute. What white parents and with? Of sandwich gonna us you what? I know some of y'all gonna make us you what?
