Their jingle went: \u201cI like bread and butter, I like toast and jam, I like Schmidt\u2019s Blue Ribbon Bread, It\u2019s my favorite brand.\u201d This version was used specifically to promote Schmidt\u2019s Blue Ribbon Bread. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_Butter_%28song%29?utm_source=openai))\n\nIf you were thinking of a different commercial (for instance, one for a brand other than Schmidt) that also used that song\u2014especially in the 1980s\u2014there *were* other uses. According to some sources, *Bread and Butter* has been used in jingles or commercials for brands like **Sunbeam Bread**, **Spam**, **Doritos**, **Little Chef**, and **Quaker Rice Cakes**. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_Butter_%28song%29?utm_source=openai))\n\nDo you remember anything else about the commercial you saw\u2014like the brand name, visuals, or approximate date? That might help me narrow down which version you mean."

        "content": "Great question. A number of factors help explain why trash compactors never became a mainstream appliance in the average home, despite their commercial availability for decades. Here's a breakdown of the main reasons:\n\n---\n\n## 1. High Upfront and Installation Costs  \n- A typical built-in trash compactor unit costs **$1,100\u2013$2,700** (as of 2026), depending on size, location, and kitchen modifications needed. ([angi.com](https://www.angi.com/articles/trash-compactor-installation-cost.htm?utm_source=openai))  \n- Additional costs stem from cabinetry adjustments, electrical work, and sometimes special ventilation. ([engineerfix.com](https://engineerfix.com/are-trash-compactors-still-a-thing/?utm_source=openai))  \n- For many homeowners, the benefit doesn\u2019t outweigh these extra expenses.\n\n---\n\n## 2. Space and Architectural Constraints  \n- Compact units are often built under the counter, consuming a full cabinet space that could otherwise be used flexibly. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/1ozljq3/why_dont_more_homes_have_trash_compactors/?utm_source=openai))  \n- In older homes or apartments, it\u2019s harder to retro-fit these units without significant remodeling. ([nepis.epa.gov](https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPURL.cgi?Dockey=9100SHCN.TXT&utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 3. Odor, Dirt, and Maintenance Challenges  \n- Extended storage of moist or organic waste can lead to smells, bacteria, and cleaning hassles. Enclosed \u201cbricks\u201d of compacted trash trap liquids and odors. ([engineerfix.com](https://engineerfix.com/are-trash-compactors-still-a-thing/?utm_source=openai))  \n- They require special bags, filters, and periodic mechanical maintenance. The effort (and cost) adds up. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/homeowners/comments/17rtfe7/why_did_trash_compactors_disappear/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 4. Changing Waste Management Practices  \n- Recycling programs (plastic, paper, metals), composting, and source separation reduce the volume of \u201cregular trash\u201d needing compaction. ([engineerfix.com](https://engineerfix.com/are-trash-compactors-still-a-thing/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Trash collection services improved: regular curbside pickup, better refuse hauling, and more frequent service reduce the need to compress trash. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1hnuw1q?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 5. Diminished Return on Value  \n\n- These units were more valuable when households had limited pickup and no robust recycling infrastructure\u2014compacting saved on bulky trash pickups and landfill fees. Historically, that was more common. ([clickamericana.com](https://clickamericana.com/topics/home-garden/vintage-trash-compactors-old-kitchen-appliances?utm_source=openai))  \n- Nowadays, for most families, their trash fits in standard bins without overflowing between pick-ups. The savings from compaction are minimal. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/1ozljq3/why_dont_more_homes_have_trash_compactors/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 6. Market Trends & Appliance Priorities  \n- Appliances like dishwashers, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves added more immediately noticeable value or convenience. The compactor was more of a specialty item. Over time, manufacturers emphasized utility appliances over niche ones. ([clickamericana.com](https://clickamericana.com/topics/home-garden/vintage-trash-compactors-old-kitchen-appliances?utm_source=openai))  \n- Many people simply didn\u2019t use compactors even when they had them. Some reports from decades past mention homeowners dismantling or disabling them because of the mess, odors, or low usage. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/1djylt6?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can pull up some recent data or studies to see how many homes still use compactors today, and whether usage is trending upward or downward."

        "content": "Here\u2019s a detailed look at home trash compactors\u2014how they work, what their pros and cons are, and why they haven\u2019t become a staple in most households.  \n\n---\n\n## What Is a Trash Compactor, and How It Works\n\n- A **trash compactor** is a kitchen appliance designed to reduce the volume of waste by mechanically compressing it into a smaller, denser package\u2014typically by about 75\u201380%. ([kitchenaid.com](https://www.kitchenaid.com/pinch-of-help/major-appliances/what-is-a-trash-compactor.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- The core components are:  \n  \u2022 A motor (often electric)  \n  \u2022 A ram or metal \u201cpress\u201d that pushes the trash down  \n  \u2022 A drawer or bin that holds waste  \n  \u2022 Safety switches to prevent operation when the drawer is open ([producthelp.whirlpool.com](https://producthelp.whirlpool.com/Other_Products/Trash_Compactors/Product_Info/Trash_Compactor_Product_Assistance/How_a_Trash_Compactor_Works?utm_source=openai))  \n- Operation is reasonably intuitive: load trash, close the drawer, start a compaction cycle. Trash should be inserted evenly, and drawers usually should be at least half-full before running the compression to make it effective. ([producthelp.whirlpool.com](https://producthelp.whirlpool.com/Other_Products/Trash_Compactors/Product_Info/Trash_Compactor_Product_Assistance/How_a_Trash_Compactor_Works?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Advantages\n\n- **Reduced Waste Volume**: A well-used compactor can cut down trash space by about 3 to 4 times, meaning fewer bags and fewer trips to handle trash. ([engineerfix.com](https://engineerfix.com/are-trash-compactors-worth-it-the-pros-and-cons/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Convenience**: Less frequent trash removal is appealing, especially for larger households or for people who dislike taking out garbage often. Also helps keep kitchen areas tidier. ([dgfloors.com](https://dgfloors.com/kitchen-trash-compactor/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Odor Containment**: Because trash is stirred less, odors are more contained inside a sealed drawer. Units often include filters or other odor mitigation features. ([kitchenaid.com](https://www.kitchenaid.com/pinch-of-help/major-appliances/what-is-a-trash-compactor.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Disadvantages & Limitations\n\n- **Cost**: The price tag isn\u2019t insignificant. Basic models run from **$800 to $2,000**, and installation adds another **$150\u2013$3,000**, especially if you need electrical or cabinetry modifications. ([dgfloors.com](https://dgfloors.com/kitchen-trash-compactor/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Space Requirements**: These units require under-counter or cabinet space\u2014usually around 12\u201315 inches wide and 34\u201335 inches tall. In smaller kitchens or apartments, space can be a major barrier. ([lowes.com](https://www.lowes.com/n/buying-guide/trash-compactor-buying-guide?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Bag & Maintenance Costs**: They require heavy-duty, thick bags that resist tearing, which cost more than standard trash bags. Also, filters, cleaning, and odor control add ongoing maintenance. ([engineerfix.com](https://engineerfix.com/are-trash-compactors-worth-it-the-pros-and-cons/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Odors & Hygiene Issues**: Trash stays inside longer, allowing smells to build. Liquids and organic materials getting compacted can make things messier and harder to clean. ([engineerfix.com](https://engineerfix.com/are-trash-compactors-worth-it-the-pros-and-cons/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Noise and Mechanics**: The mechanical action can be loud. Also, rams can jam, motors can fail, and drawers can get misaligned. ([dgfloors.com](https://dgfloors.com/kitchen-trash-compactor/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Why They Didn\u2019t Become Universal\n\nPutting the above together, here\u2019s why compactors remain relatively niche:\n\n- Most homes already have adequate trash infrastructure\u2014curbside pickup, municipal recycling, compost programs\u2014so the volume-reduction benefit is less dramatic. ([engineerfix.com](https://engineerfix.com/are-trash-compactors-worth-it-the-pros-and-cons/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The space and cost trade-off is just not worth it for smaller households or people who generate less trash. ([nepis.epa.gov](https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPURL.cgi?Dockey=9100SHCN.TXT&utm_source=openai))  \n- The maintenance and hygiene drawbacks can dissuade people. If you dislike trash odors or messy cleanups, the compactor can feel like more hassle.  \n- Builders in recent decades haven't included them as standard. Kitchen design trends\u2014especially in apartments and smaller homes\u2014prioritize storage space and cost-efficiency.  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can look up some data on how common household compactor ownership is now, or see whether modern designs are improving the downsides. Do you want me to pull up statistics for usage rates?"
