Let's take a second to examine the phrase, "the greatest thing since sliced bread." According to my Google search it was first sold in 1928. I dunno about you but I think we've come up with greater things since then. Like ice cream sandwiches and it's spin off the chipwich.

Now I'm sure you're thinking, "Colleen, you ALWAYS talk about ice cream sandwich concoctions! Get a new default." You know what, have you ever had a custom made chipwich? If not, then promptly shut your mouth.

But not all great things have to be food specific, though another good argument can be made for pretty much ANYTHING Red Velvet flavored to beat sliced bread (unless we're talking about a sliced loaf of red velvet bread). Since 1928 we've invented a lot, including, but not limited to:

• TV
• Air Conditioning
• Contacts (later glasses!)
• Hot Tub (time machine variety included)
  
• or better yet - how about - oh I dunno, THE INTERNET?!

Then of course you can jump into the blackberry and iPhone craze. Which can then be rounded out by The Snuggie. I think we should all start referring to things as the "greatest thing since The Snuggie." Let's raise our standard of innovation up beyond slices of bread because when you think of it, that's not really that impressive. But a blanket that fits you like a robe without the hassle of tying it shut?! That's genius!
