[edit] Balloon bread

Wonder bread and similar products are often called "balloon bread". For decades I thought this was merely a pejorative term. From reading this article, as well as the information at the official Wonder Bread web site, it seems obvious that the nickname came from the "balloons" printed on the packaging, in turn influenced by the hot air balloon festival that inspired the product name. If my hypothesis could be verified, I think this factoid should be added to the article. —Quicksilver^{T @} 03:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extremely Soft

I think that that's borderline POV...I mean maybe they could mention its being...IDK...full of preservatives that make it that way, but "extremely soft" doesn't sound very encyclopedic to me. --I'm Kinda Awesome... 15:18, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lead in Ink Used on Package

Perhaps twenty years ago, kids who ate bread from a loaf that had been encased in a wrapper printed inside out and thus the colorful logo came in direct contact with the bread got lead poisoning. I suspect this problem has been corrected, but wasn't it foolish to put lead in such close proximity to food? How many times would someone handling the packaging have gotten small quantities of the ink on the bread?--Jrm2007 (talk) 13:52, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
