Regular loaves of bread have pre-slicing technology figured out, so what is it with bagels and English muffins?

  • A lot of those were in the break room at my job.

  • I’ve only seen one toaster properly implement the bagel function properly, and it was $200. Every other toaster up to $130 that I’ve tried has failed miserably, often toasting the outside more than the inside. They all aim to “warm” the outside and end up toasting it at least a little.

  • I get that, but it’s executed poorly. If only 20-30% of the time they’re cut properly to do the twist move, it’s still a failure. I’d rather have a bag of disconnected bagel halves or have to cut them myself than the BS currently available in my local market.

  • I don’t want my English muffins sliced at all, personally, and I agree about freshly sliced bread…

    …but…

    In the US, pre-sliced bagels are the worst. They’re the fucking worst! In a package of 6 bagels, at least 4 will not be sliced in the middle, so you get one “half” with 75% of the bagel, and the other “half” just disintegrates. Of the ones that are sliced in the middle, they leave a line of uncut area for godknowswhy and trying to tear it apart usually fucks up one of the halves.

    One shouldn’t have to pull out a sharp knife to open a pre-sliced bagel!

    And don’t even get me started on toasters with a bagel function…

    • What’s your most used line?

  • TL;DR he was too old.

    • What was the best "worst. movie. ever"?

    Jump

  • That film has the best line ever, though. John said it was an ad-lib where he was trying to make Jenny McShane laugh.

    • In songs sung in English, a word ending with "t" followed by "you" sometimes makes the "you" sound like "chew". Does this happen in other languages with different words/sounds?

  • “Vaniller ice cream” is my go-to when explaining this.

    • If you could be featured in any gameshow, what would it be?

    Jump

  • When I was little I was on a game show for kids called Club 27. It was full of skits and stuff, and kids from the studio audience competed for prizes in little games.

    I got selected and played a ring toss game. I got like 5 rings on, and my opponent got one, but because his ring made it all the way to the base of the pedestal and none of mine did (sounds legit, but really it was bullshit… the target was a tombstone shaped piece of wood with a square base, and the rings were basically the same size as the base) so he won a sweet remote controlled car, and I got a sample of cat food. I didn’t even have a cat.

  • Aren’t aluminum cans lined with plastic anyway? I guess there’s still less plastic than a bottle anyway…

    • My (newish) 30-min dial timer for my bathroom lights keeps sticking. I've been told that some silicone based lubricant should be safe to spray into the mechanism. Am I going to burn down my house?

    Jump

  • I would not use silicone spray, personally. It might be perfectly fine, but I’ve never had it recommended to me for that purpose.

    What I have been told to use, and have used regularly for a few years is CRC contact cleaner. You can find it online or in stores like harbor freight or just about any hardware store. It’s supposed to clean and lubricate electrical contacts, and works really well.
