I have just seen an advert for a loaf of bread with the crusts already cut off to save you busy people the bother! I'm flabbergasted. I never got the the 'ready chopped veg' thing either. Have we REALLY got so little time that we need to buy these things? And at a ridiculously inflated price.!
What is the 'time saving' product that came on the market that made you think... "This can't be real, are people REALLY so lazy that they will buy that?"

S*U*P*E*R... but couldn't you just cut the crusts off BEFORE you put it on your plate? You are seriously telling me you would rather pay a 25% more so that you didn't have to do that?

Saskia... yes it IS aimed at children who don't like crusts but
A. The adults buy the bread
B. Why can't they just cut the crust off themselves!!!!

That's just as bad as the frozen cheese and frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the crusts off. Now THAT'S lazy! Even if you buy bread with the crusts cut off, you'd still have to go through the intense labor of actually assembling the cheese sandwich. LOL what's next? Frozen predigested food?

I have bought this bread. The crusts are not cut off. The bread has been covered and cooked at a low temperature, the crust is white and soggy and not very nice.
I bought it because my son does not eat crusts which is a waste, so i bought this 'crustless bread' as nothing would be wasted.

Peeled and chopped onions.
The bread without crusts is aimed at children who sometimes don't like crusts. Have no idea how it compares to a loaf with crusts.

Totally agree but you cant knock the advertising person who created the ad it is so funny with little crusts being battered on the floor and jumped on. One of my children hated crusts but I would NEVER buy the ones like this. I would get a knife and chop crusts off and eat them make your hair curl well that is what my mam told me.
The microwave invention stupid to me.

I'd rather have bread with crusts on so that I've got something to give the dog.

i agree with you 100%
These "crustless" loafs of bread don't actually save waste, because whether or not the crusts are cut of in a home or in a factory, they are still going in the garbage.
North America is so hooked on a fast pace kind of life and will do anything do make things quicker. its quite sad actually.
Great question!!

not a fan of crust on bread myself but i agree with you. i think it's ridiculous that people are so lazy they have to go buy the bread without crust on it. i mean, it doesn't take that much time to cut it off yourself if you don't like it. and you're right of course it will be expensive. i don't get it either! as far as the time saving product that i thought are people really that lazy... i guess i would have to say the cereal that comes with the milk... i mean really, how long does it take to pour milk!

its not about the time it takes to cut the crust but the fact that you actually waste that part of the bread so personally i think its a good idea.

the bread does not have crusts cut but the bread is cooked for longer at lower temperatures in a covered tin this is so crusts dont form when baking

crustless bread
isn't targeted to those who want to save time
it's targeted to adults who don't want to waste resources, and adults who are looking for foods that their children can fix by themselves
pre-cut vegetables...
a boon to overworked adults
a help to children fixing their own meals
a salvation to elders with arthritis, etc.
i always thought that those shampoo/conditioner in-one products
were a little...out there...
but, that's me
i know people w/short hair who LOVE them
--my hair is to my calves and i need the conditioner to be separate from the shampoo
it'd be cool
if madison avenue
put out "joke" products
but,
i think they'd have to get a little looser first
