To anyone who does anything other than twist and tuck:
get a life
I use the clip if I can find it…
… I mean, was RIGHT HERE a second ago…
They’re not as good since switching to cardboard anyway
My hoarding of the plastic tabs for the past decade is finally coming in handy.
My ability to lose them immediately after grabbing first slice has not.
I don’t see what’s wrong with it at all, solid foolproof method, I’d airlock my spaceship like that
Tie a knot you monster!
I twist and roll the excess bag over the bread. Kinda like how you do socks
Chaotic neutral. Only way to live.
I don’t understand why the twist and tuck is seen as a bad thing. It’s a tight seal that is effortless to both do and undo.
Cuz it can fall apart if moved or slid. Needs to be redone when picked up.
I agree
I do that if I lose the original bread tag.
If I still have the tag, it’s twist and tag.
Though with modern cardboard tags, it’s a bit more difficult and the tags wear out more quickly.
Breadboxes are bullshit and you know it
They just make me forget about the bread.
Sounds like an scp report.
Someone call the memetics department. About what, I forget…
That must be a simultaneously fascinating and terrible job. Much like a normal SCP operative but worse and more boring.
“So you contacted us on Nov 18th about a problem.”
“Did I? What was it?”
“We don’t know.”
“So what do we do now.”
“First, I’m interviewing you about the thing.”
“Thing?”
“Yes, the thing.”
“What thing?”
“The thing you can’t seem to remember.”
“Wait, hang on, I’m so confused, what are you here about?”
“So… you contacted us on Nov 18th about a problem…”
“Did I? What was it?”
“[sigh] Hi, I’m from the Memetics Department. I’m going to perform a routine inspection. I hope you don’t mind if I search through everything?”
Free penicilin.
What bread? What are we talking about again?
You put the bread in the box, while using one of the other methods.
The box is there to look pretty.
The only thing a breadbox has done for me is give me molded bread the next day. Every time.
You might want to consider cleaning your moldy box…
The last one was new and I bleached it out before using it, still happened. The bread was also new.
Bread don’t last long. In to the fridge it goes.
Do people still use these? I haven’t seen one since my great aunt’s house in the early '90s, and I’m certain it was never used for bread. Still remember the smell of that kitchen. Picked up the early, mineral tones of her weird, dank basement. God damn, I played a lot of Megaman 2 in that basement. I think Megaman 2 is actually what that basement smelled like.
My gram used to put the bread and crisps in the oven when the oven wasn’t being used :)
We used to do that in my old tiny apartment until one of us forgot and turned the oven on.
Made some toast without knowing.
Put it in the freezer.
What is this “bottle hack”?
Cut off the top inch or so of a plastic bottle and put the top of the bag through it. You can then twist the cap back on the bottle to seal the bag
That makes sense for beans, but bread?
Makes sense for beans? I only recall very small bags of beans here in Finland. Other than that its only cans and boxes. Peas you can buy in pretty big bags though…
Ok, maybe I meant like dry lentils.
The original DiWhy, at least for bread
lawful neutral, then chaotic neutral when i lose the thingy
Chaotic neutral here. The twist tie that comes with the bag immediately goes in my twist tie collection.

Are you a crow?
Possibly… 🐦
Not to gripe at a funni meemee or anything but it’s interesting how 2 out of 3 the “good” options revolve around straight up consumerism.
“Think about how organized you would be if you had a special box to store your sliced bread!?! (Nevermind the fact that this totally unnecessary as the bread already comes in packaging that is both more airtight and likely more sterile)”
The environment weeps.
Also bag clips break. A rubber band or a knot (one you sure you can untie).
I usually use “just tucking”, though.
People put bread just loose in a breadbox? That’s disturbing. Keep the bread in the bag, but put it in the box so it doesn’t get squished.
Chaotic neutral for life.
Seriously, why anything else, it is the best seal and it is the fastest way. As long as you’re not going to travel with your bread, you don’t need an attach.
For people who value time as much as bread freshness.
I am lawful neutral but my mom’s lawful evil and she throws the fucking thing away so I can’t even do it :((
I never expected to be in the neutral evil segment here…
You look good tucked though.
I honestly don’t see the problem. I’m not putting that little bread clip back on the bag once it’s off.
Who folds without twisting??
(Ok I do sometimes, but I know it’s wrong.)
I just figured out it can be a cultural thing. In my country, we mostly eat dark bread. It lasts up to a week before it dries out. To achieve that, the air seal is tight enough with just tucking. If the above image is supposed to be of a bag of white bread/toast, then just tucking actually is not enough, the toast will dry out in a day. With toast, I’m actually lawful neutral
I’m not sure what’s in the bag has anything to do with if you twist before you tuck.
Twisting emulates how the bread seals with a clip. It’s more a habit of some sort, like double tapping the trigger on a drill to see if it has power.
Proudly Chaotic neutral.
Efficient and lazy, that’s my way!
Good enough is good enough for me
It’s not just good enough, it’s probably more air tight than the other methods because the twist is longer. Also, most plastic is air permeable.
Lawful good just leads to mice, which is more cruel than good imo. Mice are incapable of self regulating population, they will boom and suffer en masse without predators.
Somebody explain this to the trees that drop millions of nuts in the surrounding forest every few years skyrocketing not only rodent populations but also their parasites; ticks, chiggers, fleas. Predators are here, but they can’t seem to catch up to the mouse output.
It’s called a mast year. Every 3 to 5 years the trees in an area produce an enormous amount of fruit, then on the next year it’s super low. Scientists think the trees produce more mast (botanical term for fruit of forest trees and shrubs, like acorns etc) than the animals could possibly eat, which guarantees that some seeds can grow into saplings. We don’t know exactly what triggers it though.
Mice in your home is more a problem of class than alignment.
A nice gated suburb might be less likely than a home in the hills or a manufactured home near a field, but I assure you that mice don’t give a f*** how much you make in a year.
Lived on a rural farm most of my life and never had issues with mice in bread boxes.
Pest control services are popular in the suburbs
We’re talking about D&D, I wasn’t making a deeper commentary on real world socioeconomic status.
Lol, sorry
I’ve seen rats in rather expensive parts of Moscow.
Lawful neutral, moving to chaotic neutral when I get down to a few slices.
Brother.
What does it mean for me that I would twist and tuck into the bread box…
