Hmmm. What can I post about to belittle younger people? Oh, I know! A fucking bread clip! Yeah, that’ll make me look cool, for sure!

    Did they get rid of them somewhere? Those were on the hamburger buns I opened last. Maybe a state like California banned plastic ties holding together plastic bags?

    Also apparently they got named by a parody site years ago and have a cool following of collectors. They call them Occlupanids. And apparently the colors are supposed to tell the day of the week the bread was baked on.. ended up in a rabbit hole

    Fun fact:

    Within each brand, the different colours of tag or tape represent different sell by dates, so the staff can quickly remove all the bread that's going out of date without reading the labels.

    This means that if you're looking to see if there's any fresher bread, you can check for different coloured tags.

    Honestly I wouldn't miss the little plastic garbage that ends up polluting the environment

    I reckon about 80% of posts like this are actually someone trolling and someone else falling for it

    "Bread" used to be a slang term (at least in the USA) for money, so yeah - most commonly "bread" IS digital now.

    It's only "bread" if it's made on the bread region of france, elsewhere It's technically sparkling wheat brick.

    ... I have no idea what it is. Is it just more popular in America or does no one use them anymore

    how are bread bags sealed where you are? the thin plastic ones that are mass produced

    around here, they still primarily use these clips, just often cardboard now. which is nice to see.

    'real' bread that doesn't have enough preservatives to keep it for weeks and is made fresh is typically sold in a paper/plastic bag with a sticker closing it, or just an open end

    Usually sliced bread is sealed with a bit of tape that has the best before date printed on it. Although it still only keeps for days rather than weeks, at a push you can probably get about a week before mould starts growing on it. Then real bread will probably start going stale by the next day.

    I prefer these to the twisty ties. I always save them from bags that use them so I can put them on other bags that don't.

    The only thing better are those clamp style paper clips.
