BREAD™ - The staff of life. It’s a brand, not a staple foodstuff that you need to eat so that you don’t die.
I understand that these monstrosities (who, let’s face it, would have been done for profiteering were the ‘war on terror’ a real war instead of just a marketing ploy by big petro) have been given a licence to bend us over and have their way with us; but I have to object when they start biting the back of our f**king head while doing so.
