I have been eating Mrs. Baird's Bread since before I can remember. We took tours of the bakery in the 1970s off of Koenig Lane in Austin.
Their bread is now hard. Not just the crust, but the inside. It is odd.
What made me notice it was my mom brought up a loaf of HEB brand and it is super soft. Same thing at Rudy's BBQ. Very soft.
I know Mrs Baird's was bought out by the Bimbo brands.
I guess they use more sawdust now.

I had to go check, my loaf of Mrs Bairds is perfect. Maybe the bakery in your area.

We toured the ButterKrust bakery in Corpus every year from 2nd-5th grade. That fresh bread, dripping with butter was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Heaven.

I grew up on Mrs Baird’s but my wife grew up with Sun Beam. It’s much softer and I like it better.

Used to be that if you lived in an major city, fresh bread was delivered to the grocery stores every day and the day-old bread was taken to a bakery "Thrift Store" where it was sold for about 1/3 the price. I was always gelous of this, because I lived in a small town that only got bread delivery three days a week.
Now, in DFW, we get bread that has "Best By" dates two weeks out. It is every freaking brand.
And yes, something changed recently with Mrs Bairds. WE have change to Wonder Bread, but it is still nowhere close to what it used to be.
We all need to practice Whoa more.

Bread used to turn green in a few days. I have kept loaves of bread for weeks on end in these modern times. It ain’t right.
Mrs. Bairds was a Texas staple, it is a Texas thing.

All store bought sliced bread is full of preservatives and mold inhibitors. If I want bread I make beer bread in a cast iron skillet.

Fond nostril memories of driving by Mrs. Baird's bread factory on Central Exp/Hwy.75 in Dallas. The smell would make you hungry even if you had just eaten..

Mmmmm ... soft white "balloon bread" made such a great sammich with Skippy peanut butter, all loaded with sugar and transfats. I must have eaten thousands of them, and with a glass of Nestle's Qwik if possible.
