Based on those feet it was bigger than a breadbox.
Harmony, is it… a sodding breadbox? --Spike
Kinda surprised to see this here; always thought the breadbox was a British thing and Buffy’s British character making my only reference to it was confirmation.
I think it’s a “20 questions” joke. Or it’s referencing the origin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What’s_My_Line%3F#Breadbox
Yes, my reference above is Spike playing 20 questions with his girlfriend, Harmony…
So maybe breadboxes were common in the US, but not for a long time, and it only exists as a 20 questions opener?
