To put the whole world between two slices of bread, if you will.
If you will, if you will.
And then put an incomprehensible dressing on it.
I have a question for you.
That I feel like I hear this referenced a lot.
And it sounds like it could be a myth to me.
I might have even asked this before.
So if I have, I'm sorry.
But the idea is that cake mixes were invented.
American housewives didn't want to buy them because they didn't feel like they were doing enough.
And so they didn't need an egg.
But the cake mix people were like, OK, add an egg.
Then you'll feel like you're baking.
So I have heard this too.
And I feel like I've heard people repeat that.
I have heard that this is a myth, but that the myth itself is instructive because it kind of shows that there's an attachment to the idea that people need to do this, that like the egg kind of like women want to bake eggs.
Ultimately, it's like their biological destiny to bake in like a labor intensive way.
