The wheel, the steam engine, the lightbulb, the aeroplane.
Marvels of engineering to be sure, but all were put to shame when Otto Frederick Rohwedder (blessed be his name) invented the first single loaf bread-slicing machine.
No longer would man suffer the long indignity of having to slice their own bread!
It proved instantly influential and in a few short years 80% of the bread sold in the United States was sliced!

Unfortunately, like all true visionary undertakings, the forces of reactions would soon emerge in a vain attempt to halt man's progress and in XV Annus Panis Nostri Quod Est Divisa a ban would be placed on the product.
U.S. officials cited "war time conservation measured" but the brave people of the land quickly rose up in outcry and the ban was rescinded.

Today people from all around the world are free and able to enjoy the bounty of bread that is already sliced.
