Firsts!!!

I always look at soda cans, tissue paper, toys, video games even underwear and think when was the first one made?
Well I happen to stop at a little mini market down the road in England and I found a book called 'The Book of Firsts'.... So anyhoos I thought of sharing it with you pps....And if anyone is wondering about a first in any field or thing that I do not mention please ask I will look for it and post it for you....(Sometimes curiosity leads to many things could be good could be bad but let's just say in this case it is good)...

1. The first sandwich is usually said to have been eaten by English nobleman the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who liked its convenience. In may 1928 the sandwich became even more convinient when the world's first pre-sliced loaf of bread went on sale in Battle Creek, Michigan, USA.

2. Fast food means big business, with hamburgers and pizzas leading the way. But these two European dishes did not get the fast food treatment until after Richard and Maurice McDonalds opened the world's first fast food restaurant in San Bernadino, California in 1948. It was 44 years ago before that did the first hamburger is officially recorded.
