Toastbrot

is never the second most popular bread in Germany!!! It is only used frequently in the grilling-season and I think I go not too far stating `9 of 10 germans don´t consider it a `real bread´ at all´! Why should germans abroad complain about the lack of good bread, if there is such `toastbrot´ all around? Put it maybe at the 10th place...--78.54.38.65 (talk) 16:45, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

According to this source [1], Toastbrot seems to hold a second place (21%) in Germany meanwhile. However, it remains unclear how representive this statistics really is. I could not support this from my personal experience and would have assumed a much lower percentage. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 23:05, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Statistics are much overrated and not representative whatsoever (which is my distinct opinion, not common-sense). If You go to a bakery or similiar You wont find Toastbrot at all - it is maybe to find in the big grocery retailers, but quantitywise not 21%. Btw. it is i.m.h.O. the most untypical bread for a german.--78.54.38.47 (talk) 14:40, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

As Germans, we know that brown bread (sour dough type) - be it rye or whole grain/wheat - is the actual real staple food in Germany. The article doesn't reflect this. Germany is the land of breads before sausages :) 89.166.217.4 (talk) 22:56, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Amen--139.30.128.38 (talk) 16:56, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, I think the statistics describe only the sales of toastbrot in Germany. And I think this could be true, as it is often used for cooking reasons. It is cheaper than Weißbrot or bread rolls and is therefore used for dumplings and so on. Also some germans buy it as an alternative when the good bread is empty or some even prefer it to common bread rolls when eaten with sweet spreads (Nutella, jam, etc.). — Preceding unsigned comment added by JenWen123 (talk • contribs) 17:04, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
