        Wonder bread is sugary spongy crap, widely regarded as an Americanized version of traditional bread.

          Thanks. SO low quality and artificially sweetened, got it. Likely a staple for lower income households?

            Yeah, I guess chili is more of a low class dish now that I think about it. Not that American chili is trash like wonderbread (although it can be), it's just a remade dish with ingredients common in the states.

        In the 50s they were processing everything they could just for the wow factor of it.

        They bleached and preserved bread into a sweet, white, chewy block that never spoiled, called "white bread." The problem was that people were picking up vitamin deficiencies from eating nothing but processed food.

        Rich people started eating whole wheat and seed bread.

        Poor people got "wonder bread", which was white bread with the vitamins added back in
