Well, you're a mom and you have a Wonder Bread story to tell, so go for it :)! Maybe you'll win a prize for the most unusual Wonder Bread story :D.
"...The Wonder Bread I searched for more than a year...." ;)

Well golleee, that does look like a Wonder Bread wrapper. Well, hunh.
Here' my Wonder Bread story - also one I don't think they want: When I was a child, there were lots of Wonder Bread commercials on TV, and they talked about "building strong bodies 12 ways." And there would often be a cool time lapse-esque film of a little white girl or boy growing, growing, growing to be a teenage basket ball player or cheerleader.
I always enjoyed those commercials, and ate my squishy Wonder Bread sandwiches with gusto. But then, as I got older, I learned the truth about white bread in general, and how poor-quality it is, nutritionally. And I was appalled - but the commercial made it sound like it was ESSENTIAL for good health. It was my first lesson about lying in advertising. Of course I now know dozens, hundreds, what feels like millions of examples of lies being told publically. But that was the first, and it hurt. Tarnished my view of the world, you know?

But gosh, nutritional issues aside, those soft Wonder Bread slices were scrumptious to this little Texas kid. They made for the ideal peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches. Perhaps the wonder of Wonder Bread is how they made a product of dubious nutritional value taste so good!

After repeated viewings and readings, I hadn't thought much about this aspect until I caught your thread.
Very well done and insightful

Welcome to my beautiful laundrette! Altho I'm sure Alma didn't think that way about it. I've been to Wyoming, and clothes get dirty there, even tho your not a roughneck or a ranch hand, but an ordinary tourist!!
