I like the ends, too, though I haven't actually had
sliced bread for many years. I make an organic annadama
bread with blackstrap molasses myself, and I buy
Whole foods organic ciabatta bread for sandwiches.
That's more of a blob than a loaf, with tasty crust
on every side.

That's a case of emotional abuse resulting from
right-handed privilege. But that's OK. You didn't know
you were oppressing lefties.

Why doesn't the gov't force bakers to sell bread without
ends? What, do we live in the dark ages?! And another
thing... Why do they twist those little plastic ties so
many times? Could we at least agree on which direction
the get twisted? Why doesn't the gov't force bread

bread hasn't used twist ties in forever.

they use plastic clips with the date stamped on it, which are very
easily re-clipped.

I don't do the shopping for my family so I don't really know where the
bread comes from, but I do know that almost all of the bread in my house
still has the venerable twist tie, color coded to show the day it was
baked, but I don't know the code. I've seen the newfangled bread clip
that's linked above, but it's not common at my house. Maybe certain
bakeries and/or certain store chains have adopted the clip, while the
rest have yet to do so.


Here are some bread clips for you.

My bread twist tie collection is much smaller. Zero.

Gosh, discussing how bread plastic bags are closed. Things must be
boring today :-D

Here they use what you call "twist tie", I gather. A wire in plastic
sleeve. Not colour coded: the date is stamped in the bag. I don't
remember seeing bread clips here. That type of bread is made at a
factory half a country away and distributed, not daily.

Daily bread here is another kind, what you call French bread, of many
varieties. Some times sliced and bagged.


And I don't collect twist ties, but I keep them for reuse. Sometimes
they end tying my computer cables.

| "oppressing". I don't think that word means what you think it means.

This one looks about right to me:

"to crush or burden by abuse of power or authority"

Maybe if you're going to do a lot of thinking about
what others are thinking, it would be good to explain
your thinking.

I just wanna read text! And I don't plan to login when doing so.

My ISP has blocked Pirate Bay and the proxies to get around that
don't allow file download.

That all depends on where you live and the bakery. Here in the
Oklahoma City area, most bakeries still use twist ties that are color
coded to indicate the day of the week the bread was made, though there
are a handful that use those plastic clips.

Slightly steep learning curve, though.


I nearly forgot that DD-WRT the router firmware has that option....
