I remember my mom got a bread machine and we used it like ten times. I don't remember what happened to it, but we went through the same thing during the pandemic.

Same. Mom got one in the 90s and barely used it. Bread was good though. I should make bread.
You should make bread ….. but only if you can control it. I’m another one of many who gained way too much weight. I got a bread machine over pandemic and made a loaf every Saturday night. The problem was I swear it was a full year before there was anything left to wrap and put away.
Then I got some blood tests back. And it was bread. All bread.
My only version of that was covid
definitely remember it, we stopped because the entire family gained 10 pounds each
Mother had a bread machine she used relatively frequently. I have very old bread machine cookbooks. Those things were very popular at the time! And cookbooks in weird shapes? Like these were rectangular and not er...normal book shaped??
In my mind bread machines are still “new” I remember when my grandmother got one and I’d never seen or heard of anything like it before.
Then I realized that was, yes, probably right around ‘93/‘94, and they’ve been around for over 30 years at least
