Can you un-smash a loaf of bread?

9. Oh what timing. Today I walked 4 heavy bags of groceries home, plus a backpack full, and

the bread got squashed somewhat as usual. Fortunately I was able to squeeze here and there until it looked pretty good.

A sub sandwich got almost completely flattened.

Worse, I was horrified to see an egg carton with one side crushed in quite a bit. Fortunately only one egg was actually affected, thanks for reminding me to put on my meal-planning card to poach this egg right away.

The main reason for this was probably the gallon of milk. But I've carried bags of groceries with a gallon of milk before without all this mayhem (except the bread somewhat). Not that the milk was in the same bag as the soft stuff, I'm careful not to do that, but still, 2/3 mile with bags bumping into each other. Will have to make a point to be more careful. I've never had eggs damaged before so I'm cogitating about that.

Another time I had a gallon plastic jug of milk leak in my backpack. What a mess. So even a backpack isn't safe
