Bread can be used in many ways beyond just eating it. It can be made into sandwiches, used as a hair and body scrub, made into the traditional Russian drink kvass, used in weight loss cooking, as a fishing lure, fed to ducks, and used in some alternative medical treatments. Bread can also be used for removing fingerprints, baking surprises into for fortune telling, as a character in fairy tales, and embodying values or social organizations in allegories or proverbs.
