A top notch product for its simplicity. It's plain, it's simple, it's cheap for what you're getting...and apparently it is nearly without an expiration date.
I've had this major jones lately for taost and butter. Sometimes with dinner, other times just as a snack. Good stuff. I finished off the last couple slices last night, then opened up another loaf a couple hours later. A few slices of toast didn't put a dent in the snacking required for surfing arfcom so I grabbed another couple of slices from the bag. They seemed kinda...stiff 
I checked the date and it says: "Best By Feb. 22 2010" 
OMGOMGOMG!!!onewtfhaxbbq11! I'm gonna die of penecillan bread! Wait, it sys "BEST BY", not "Expires By"....A search around the bag reveals no actual expiration date. Other brands I've purchased have no kidding grown hair before the day was up. Not a one time thing and I mostly blame the store I bought it from. But, IIRC they had and actual "Expiration Date" on them, whereas Franz is smart enough to put "Best By" so the bread doesn't get any funny damned ideas. And, although a little too stiff to make a sammich for texture reasons, it toasts up just peachy dandy 
So what say you arfcom? -Is Franz Bread the official BOB (Bug Out Bread) or no? -Will I die of toastacillin poisoning? -Does the real butter get canceled out by the 1% milk I drank with the snack? No poll, so there. I guess I lied, there is a poll afterall

In high school I had the unfortunate pleasure of going to summer school at Benson High School, which is adjacent to the Franz bread factory in Portland.
I distinctly remember the smell of delicious bread that whole afternoon. Talk about torture! I was so hungry by the time class was over.

Yep, there seems to be a big variation in the amount of preservatives used in different brands of bread. Some of 'em will turn green if you so much as look at 'em wrong; others don't look or taste any different after several months of sitting around. |
