Have you seen these half loaves of bread? I bought half a loaf yesterday. They need to come up with a name for it, ‘cause if you think about it, they still haven’t come up with a name for the liquid half gallon. There’s the quart. And there’s the pint. And don’t forget about the cup. But no, there’s no cool name for the half gallon. And I don’t see a good name for it on the horizon. We might as well just switch to liters. And shouldn’t you be able to get half and half in a half gallon?
I have at least one issue with these half loaves: the one I bought today has two crusts, two heels. Wait. What? I thought I was buying a half loaf. Why are there two heels? Two crusts? I have nothing against the heel, but if I’m truly buying half a loaf there should only be one heal.
If one end of the half loaf is the heel, maybe the other end could be the toe. But some weirdo would probably invent toe jam to put on that end of the bread so we may need to think this through a bit.
