    Did you know?
    EVERY TIME A LOAF OF BREAD IS BAKED,
    APPROXIMATELY
    150,000,000 YEASTS ARE
    KILLED

    Come to the award-winning 1987 film,
    "The Very Small and Quiet Screams"
    -- a cinematic electromicrograph of yeasts being baked.

    A must for those who care about yeast, and especially for those who don't.
