Wonder Bread | Wikireadia #201

Wonder, the original brand-name white bread. It's "slo-baked." This episode is better than sliced bread. 

The original wikipedia page lives at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Bread

From Chat GPT: Wonder Bread is a brand of white bread that was first introduced in the United States in 1921. It quickly became popular due to its soft texture and long shelf life, which was made possible by a special baking process that removed the bread's outer crust and prevented it from going stale.

The bread was produced by the Taggart Baking Company, which later became the Continental Baking Company, and was eventually acquired by the Hostess Brands company. Wonder Bread was marketed as a healthy and wholesome food, and was heavily promoted with advertising campaigns featuring the brand's iconic red, yellow, and blue balloons.

In the mid-20th century, Wonder Bread became a staple in American households, and was a symbol of the country's prosperity and progress. The bread was often used in school lunches and was a key ingredient in the popular sandwich combinations of the time, such as the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

However, in the 21st century, the popularity of Wonder Bread began to decline as people became more health-conscious and sought out breads made with whole grains and natural ingredients. In 2012, Hostess Brands declared bankruptcy and ceased production of Wonder Bread, but the brand was later acquired by the Flowers Foods company and returned to production in select markets.

Despite its ups and downs over the years, Wonder Bread remains an iconic symbol of American food culture, and its distinctive packaging and branding continue to be recognized by people around the world.
