6. Betty White Is Older Than Sliced Bread
If you are wondering how that can be, then read closely in between lines. We are referring to sliced bread. The bread was invented centuries ago. For many centuries, bread was sold as a whole loaf so that it could remain fresh. It was cut into big chunks or was baked in vessels of the size that were easy to handle. So people had to take a whole piece. However, in the industrial age, consumerism came into effect, and loaves of bread were distributed in a sliced form. It was convenient for both the baker/seller and the consumer who could use it on a piece-by-piece basis. Sliced bread was invented by Otto Frederick Rohwedder in 1928, whereas the popular actress Betty White was born in 1922.
