Caught up in the low carb craze?

I have a cousin who worked at Wonder Bread 34 years ago.
We went in at night and he grabbed a couple of loaves right out of the oven.
That white bread was really good while it was hot
And really bad after about 15 minutes

Mismanaged accounting and competition.

I've worked on some of their bakery equipment and if you saw what I did you wouldn't eat anything coming from them either. I doubt they ever cleaned anything, nasty.

Care to elaborate on that?

The only thing Wonder Bread was good for was having fun rolling it up into a ball. I wouldn't actually eat it.

I think he meant "...and if you saw what I saw..."

Imagine a bakery where noone washed their hands or cleaned the equipment they've touched after being gacked up with dough, flour, dust etc. Now imagine this after years of buildup.

I worked for a service center who did their design and repair work and saw this first hand. It's no wonder they've to file chapter 11.

Make my own stuff. I have a bread baking/dough mixing machine and control exactly what goes in and comes out, right down to hot dog and hamburger buns.

Glad I don't eat Twinkies..

Wonder Bread really gunks up your innards, too. It really isn't carbs that are so bad for you, but these ultra-refined products, which do terrible things to your body chemistry.
