We don't have Walmart here in the UK. So I'm only going from what I've heard about it. If I was running a shop that sold literally everything, a sliced loaf of bread would fit the electric toaster, and sliced ham and sliced cheese, would be the same size as a slice of bread. A multi billion dollar company, and not one of them have ever thought of that.

We also have to buy:
Hot dogs, 10 in a pack
Hot dog rolls, 8 in a pack

Hmmmmmmm. Makes you think. You have Azda (spelling?) which, I believe is owned by Walmart. Could we get hens to lay cubic eggs? :thumbup:

And chili comes in cans with enough for 12 dogs ...

BTW, sliced bread fits in my toaster, and the ham and cheese are generally appropriately sized. The good stuff from the deli, not such much, but I find that I can fold it !

Here's a bit of useless trivia. Every time you buy a sliced loaf. Bearing in mind that if you make a sandwhich, it takes two slices, and most toasters take an eveven number. No matter whether it's thick, thin or medium. It will always have an odd number of slices. This is because, when it's sliced, it's done with two "cutting machines" coming at it from left to right. So you have an even number of blade, which leads to an odd number of slices.

Now, that's the best part of this boring, already-done subject. You made me laugh.

I just had to check this out so I started counting and then I was then asked to leave the supermarket. I tried blaming
Wellheim but they said they had never heard of him, and when I said he writes on an Ugly Hedgehog the men in white coats arrived. We are apparently having stewed apple for dinner or so matron says.

They may be owned by the same company but thats about it. Having been in both they are as different as chalk and cheese.

ASDA; It's a nice fit with WALMART. The stores look very similar, apart from the reduced range of goods.
And there's not many WALMART persons inside them, but we're working on that!

Chalk and cheese. Now that would make a terrific sandwich if you managed to find them both the same size as an uneven slice of bread.

No worries, I've got the trusty Swizz Army Knife and a box of band aid, where do you want it sent?
