breadboxes
Kitchen bread storage
Breadboxes is the plural of breadbox, a container for storing bread to keep it fresh.
The breadbox sits on the kitchen counter with a hinged lid or roll-top door.
Its familiar size makes it a unit of casual measurement: The device is about the size of a breadbox.
This phrase became iconic from the television game show *What's My Line?*, where it helped narrow down mystery objects.
