011284mm: It might be easier to buy a bread maker and make your own bread.
The problem with making your own bread is that it goes stale after a day. My parents had one and the bread was great the day it was made but just a day later the crust becomes soft and chewy instead of crispy. Its not so bad that I wouldn't eat it but add another day and you have to throw it out. Some people say preservatives are bad but I like the fact that I can keep a loaf of bread for a week or two and eat it on my own time and not have to worry about wasting my money throwing half of it out.
DukeNukemForever: I order my drinks here in germany also without ice cubes, because I want more from the stuff I ordered and not piped water. It's cheaper for restaurants and bars making the glasses and cups full of ice, doing this they save on the more expansive beverages.
Dunkin Donuts has become really bad with this. They put a ton of ice in their ice coffee and their coffee isn't even an expensive drink. I usually end up taking out 75% of the ice. I started asking for less ice when ordering.
