Hinged bread
two slices of bread with a hinge (of bread) to keep your sandwich together | |
Throw away your toothpicks (that is, if you only use them for keeping your sandwiches together--if you use them for picking your teeth, DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY). Hinged bread to the rescue!

Hey, guys, give him a break. He means regular white, wheat, or rye, sandwich-sized, sliced bread. With a hinge. For kids under 10, you should be able to get a latch for the side opposite the hinge so that the danged sandwich *cannot* flop open and spill tuna salad on the floor. |

A hinge on one side is simply not good enough. You'd need some sort of clasp on the other side to stop it falling open. Introducing Velcro bread..... |
|
| |
Why not buy an unsliced loaf and slice it with ready made hinges? You can pride yourself in your new found art of cutting bread strangely. |
|
| |
Of course, you could just fold a slice in half... |

There was a sandwich bread marketed in the US Midwest in the early 60's called Yogi Bread (for some strange reason, I'm sure). Essentially, it was sliced double-wide white bread with two crowns. Being something of a bumpkin, I didn't recognize the obvious and would, yes, cut it in half when making a sandwich from a single slice. |
|
| |
Perhaps it might have become popular had smarter folks bought it. |
|
| |
So, Military, you're saying they test marketed Yogi Bread in the wrong part of the country...? |
|
| |
Yes, it takes a sophisticated cosmopolitan to see double-wide bread with two crowns and come up with the fold-over idea. Who was the marketing genius...? |
|
| |
I dunno. Maybe the wrong *country*. I was so young.
Such huge bread in such small hands. It was so unfamiliar...alien. So somehow...wrong. |
|
| |
it would be a good gimmick if you had a series of extra bits of moulding on the bottom of the tin to form proper hinges from the crust |
|

i cant think of anything to make the clasp out of so cover all filling ingredients with syrup/honey/jam to stick it together |
