Yup. Commercially manufactured, enriched, fortified, pre-sliced and wrapped white bread.
America's post World War II manufacturing renaissance with humming factories, baby boom, highway-building, race for the moon and vast economic expansion was accompanied by this ubiquitous household foodstuff that even today persists as a key indicator of an American family's prosperity and American culinary and economic dominance throughout the world.
I was raised on a steady diet of Wonder Bread. No whole grain, fancy, hipster, designer loaves for me. Good old, soft sliced white bread that got a tad gooey after the baloney, American cheese and mayo start to soak-in after sitting for hours in a lunch pail on the shelf at school. It's no wonder (pun intended) that am a successful and prosperous example of building strong bodies twelve ways.
So, don't let that orange man behind the curtain fool you. He's a hustler, swindler and a con-man (from Queens). If he points a tiny finger at you and exhorts his minions about making America great again you just tell him that he's full of hot air. America is already great again.
America is already so great that this cultural food icon is copied and sold the world-over. I shit you not.
Yes, even in France. The land of fresh-baked daily baguettes that are crunchy, chewy divinely delicious along with buttery, heavenly, flaky croissants, hard rolls and brioches.
There is this:

Commercially manufactured, enriched, fortified, shelf-stable, preservative-infused, pre-sliced and wrapped white bread. It proudly shouts- American Sandwich on the label too.
Even the French have surrendered - culturally and otherwise - to American greatness and dominance.
I rest my case.
