Apparently People Slice Bagels Like Bread In St. Louis?
Alek Krautmann is a St. Louis native but is a Program Coordination Officer at NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration in the Washington D.C. Metro Area.
He generously brought bagels to work one day and posted a photo of the uniquely sliced bagels.
“Today I introduced my coworkers to the St. Louis secret of ordering bagels bread sliced,” he tweeted. “It was a hit!”
Little did he know, he would enrage the social media universe!
A style of slicing bagels as you would a loaf of bread — aka bread-sliced or the “St. Louis” way as he alleges — has caused OUTRAGE among a lot of people this week.
Everyone from Sen. Chuck Schumer to Bill Kristol were upset. Even the Twitter account for CHIPS AHOY responded.
#Bagelgate has people arguing about the St. Louis bread scene.
