top help: Why do people always do that? - Help.com

Some people do eat them, they just eat them last. Leaving them helps preserve the bread a little longer.

Some people like the crust others are anti-crust.

If you think about it, a loaf of bread is like a fruit. People don’t eat the skins of bananas, oranges or peanuts, so it makes sense to also not eat the skin of a bread.

They just don’t like them then.

Kinda like pasto and antipasto?

Once I wrapped a present for my nephew in musical staff paper — I spent a good hour or two writing a musical message all over this piece of paper, and he ripped it off and his mom just tossed it in the trash. I felt.. hurt, because the present inside wasn’t important, the treasure was the music I wrote for him. Maybe this is how bakers feel when people throws away the crusts of bread.

Or maybe like dote and antidote.

Maybe because the word “crust” doesn’t exactly sound tasty.

Someone once told me that the crust on bread is from a cricket’s back. Being the credulous young kid that I was at the time, I believed them and avoided eating bread crust for a while.

I’m choosy and will only settle for the ‘upper crust’.

Lol, do you eat it now?

Sometimes. I usually eat it when I’m too hungry to peel it off. ^_^

Here are some highly illogical punny reasons to beware of eating the crust:

- You are what you eat, and crust-eating will turn you into a crustacean.

- The crust is innocent! If you eat it, your nightmares will be haunted for 13 months by Krusty the Clown.

But see, that’s why I only eat the ‘upper crust’ and, seeing as ‘you are what you eat’, I can now look down upon the hoi polloi out there. Gee.. I sure wonder how the poor people live.

Assuming you throw the lower crust into the garbage and the poor people have no other option but to sneak into the garbage and eat it, then they probably live like the lower crust, which is essentially completely the opposite of the upper crust, having come from the opposite side of the bread.

Haha,
I will call them Anticrustians then.
Sounds like a fearsome cult :)
