Bread

The endcap covers the rest for them to stay fresh longer. It has a goddamn job to do.
- This is the way. The butts sacrifice themselves for the greater good.
  
  The butts are never truly sacrificed when youre on your last PB and J.
  
  The Greater Good!
- And now it has served its purpose, now it must be put to rest.
- I doubt the end being there makes much of a difference, it's already sliced and air can easily get into the cracks. Plus you're always taking the front piece which has supposedly had the most contact with the environment, so it doesn't have much of a chance to go bad. Furthermore by reaching your grubby fingers around to sneak a middle piece you probably pose a bigger risk of contamination to the loaf.
  I'm not convinced this method keeps bread longer until it's put to the test.

dude, i love the first slice!
please dont take the context of the meme, as it might look bad
- 🤨📸
- How so?
  
  philia is the word for love in ancient greek, while pedo means child

When I was a kid, I could sit and eat an entire loaf of Sunmaid Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Literally the whole loaf in one sitting. I probably still could. Yum. Raisin bread.
- Your comment is making me get up and make toast. Sadly, I don't have any raisin bread.
  
  You can always poke little holes in the toast and stick raisins in them.
- It's all a part of a healthy diet, as I learned in home ec. Just 3 more loafs, a dozen eggs with 5 glasses of milk and you will complete 2/3s of the pyramid if you eat an apple or something.

First slice and last slice, AKA "The Dad Bread"
- In days of old, my father ate the bread ends.
  Now that I have a daughter, I am the one who eats the bread ends
  We do this not because we enjoy them, but because it is our duty as fathers.
  That or because otherwise my wife will just throw them to the dog. What a waste of perfectly good bread!
  
  Not a father, but I actually enjoy the end slices.

In some parts of Mexico, the end caps are called the "suegras," the word for mother-in-law, because no one wants them. I think it's meant to sound like "sobras" which means leftovers.

Am I the only one who calls those the butt of the loaf?
- I have always heard it called the heel.
- Want to piss off a kid? Make them a butt-bread sandwich.
- Nope, I call it the butt too.
- We call it the nub.

I wonder what it says about me that I eat the first piece first.
- You're a serial killer.
  
  Bready or not, here I come
- I do too. I try to get it before anyone fingers around with it to get to the slices below. Butt bread is fine, but fingered butt bread...

Must be really shitty bread because first and last slices are the best

Bunch of people ain't getting curly hair!

Just make the first and last slices bigger! Damn you bread warlocks!

just scarf down the extra crusty bread by itself. Its not suitable for sandwiches, but you know, just the bread by itself is still fine.

The ends are the best for toasties.

I leave the first one to get stale from the lazy wrap job.

Finally, a good fuckin' meme!

I love the end slices but hate when they are cut so thin that they fall apart in your hand.

I'll even eat the last slice, but the first one is destined for the trash
