“Sir Henry Tate, founder of the Tate Gallery, made his money through patenting an invention in 1872 for cutting up sugar loaves, and then marketing ‘cube sugar’, a new way of selling the product. Until then sugar had been bought in large conical loaves, which had to be chopped up – a rough heavy job, to be done by a man if possible. The chopped pieces would then be cut into smaller pieces with sugar nippers, by the housewife or servant, to get the sugar to a size that was useable.”
~ The Victorian House by Judith Flanders
Perhaps we should use “best thing since cubed sugar” not “sliced bread”?
And “sugar nippers” has GOT to be a euphemism for something.
