Sweet bread.

OMG. It's bread. Why is it sweet?

Depends on which kind you're talking about. Cinnamon raisin breads and similar are sweet because they're basically deserts (desserts?).

Standard sandwich loaf is sweet because your weak foreign palate cannot handle the background level of high fructose corn syrup in all American food. It gives us the strength and vitality to enforce pax Americana, build our secret space colonies, and invent all new world technology.

2 S's for dessert - you always want a second helping. How I always remember that one :p

As an American, yeah that’s what gets me. I just don’t understand it and I hate it
