I don’t want my English muffins sliced at all, personally, and I agree about freshly sliced bread…
…but…
In the US, pre-sliced bagels are the worst. They’re the fucking worst! In a package of 6 bagels, at least 4 will not be sliced in the middle, so you get one “half” with 75% of the bagel, and the other “half” just disintegrates. Of the ones that are sliced in the middle, they leave a line of uncut area for godknowswhy and trying to tear it apart usually fucks up one of the halves.
One shouldn’t have to pull out a sharp knife to open a pre-sliced bagel!
And don’t even get me started on toasters with a bagel function…
I get that, but it’s executed poorly. If only 20-30% of the time they’re cut properly to do the twist move, it’s still a failure. I’d rather have a bag of disconnected bagel halves or have to cut them myself than the BS currently available in my local market.

You don’t “open” a bagel like a pop can, that’s why they’re ripping.
You “twist” it like a bottle, and it should split evenly 99% of the time.
The middle being connected is so you don’t just have a bag of bagel halves.

I mean, I honestly can’t remember buying bagels at the store and ever having one that isn’t connected still.
Not that I eat a crazy amount of bagels tho.
