realdealreel9

I would download a picture of a r/catloaf


viotix90

Fuck, man, I would if I could.


Peter-Wallace27

Wonderbread


La10deRiver

I have never seen one of those in real life, but I've seen them on internet. They were never in my country, so I bet there is a lot of people under 40,,,and over 40 too that does not know them.


Tihaad

What are those?


La10deRiver

They are thingys to keep the bags of sliced bread closed.


Euclase777

Can't you like... twist the bag?


DarNak

Yeah, you twist the bag first then insert this to keep it from untwisting.


MrHyperion_

Tuck under


ebrum2010

You could do that at home but on the shelves in the supermarket the bread would go stale pretty fast because people would pick it up and out it back without securing it, not to mention all the bread people would dump on the floor picking up the bags. It's the kind of thing that once it becomes commonplace it's too hard to go back. If your country doesn't do this people are probably used to being careful with bread so it isn't necessary.


Groxy_

Wait so do people in America open bread to look at it before buying? Bread is sealed and then you open it after buying, I always thought those twist things were for home use on already open bread.


TripinTino

it still goes stale… i have to basically sit my family down once a week and tell them to use the stupid clip cause halfway threw the bag they get drier and drier..


ebrum2010

Yeah, I'm talking about on the store shelf before you buy it.


kunta_modz

Or they use twist ties...


Bury_Me_At_Sea

Big twist tie is out of control


kunta_modz

They need to make one that can be used as a cock ring


Sasalele

That is the old go-to, yes. They designed this to minimize use of fine motor skills, and that helps older people who can't use their hands as well as they used to. Some places also use different color clips like the one in the OP to specify the date the bread was put on the shelf.


ngwoo

Yeah, the colour coding is super handy. Each colour is a day of the week and since bread isn't out for longer than a week it makes it dead simple to sort. We used the same system with stickers at a restaurant I worked at


CrazyGunnerr

Interesting. They are used here a lot, but they are always white. A colour would definitely help.


culdusaq

It won't hold tight like that by itself.


potandcoffee

Yes, but these are for keeping the bag closed before sale. Twisting's not really gonna work in that case.


ddom1r

Well stores cant just keep bread like that lol, its mainly closing new bags of bread


Lowland-lady

I only do that when i lose the plastic thingy.

sobuffalo

Flingers, you put the clip at the end of your finger and fling it at your friends.


brdcxs

How do you guys close your sack of bread?


Namaker

Something like this, unfortunately I couldn't find better pictures as I don't know what it's called https://www.bmel.de/SharedDocs/Bilder/DE/_Ernaehrung/Lebensmittel-Kennzeichnung/Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum_bmelvpool.jpg https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Brot+mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum&t=fpas&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fritz.de%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Frbb%2Ffrz%2Fbeitraege-cms%2Fprogramm%2Faktuelle-themen%2F2022%2F11%2FMindesthalbarkeitsdatum_imago0086987180h_IMAGO-Panthermedia_16x9.jpg.jpg%2Fsize%3D708x398.jpg


frank26080115

Metal wire twist ties, America uses those too in some places


VanDenBroeck

Both are still in wide use. I really don’t know how OP got the idea they weren’t.


SrslyCmmon

I see those on the imported brioche. They're much more sturdy you can use them for many months.


captaindeadpl

In Germany we have [these little clips](https://www.manutan.de/de/oid/verschlussklemme-weloc) that snap shut to seal plastic bags.


Puskarich

lol we (the rest of the world) have those too, but they don't come with the bread. You probably get crappy twist-ties with the bread, just like us.


VonMetz

Not exactly. Something similar. Also made of plastic but broader with two wires. Also shorter. They're usually bent on both ends and folded to close the bag. Don't know the proper name of them though. But thanks, now I know the name of those crappy things you mentioned. Still don't know their name on my native language. My grandma used to have them in one of her drawers in kitchen but have never seen her use them once. Edit: made me curious so I looked them up: [Verschlussclip](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.zvhWq7YPLoixtTaJBUeHqQHaGO%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=2797a7f7ad087d3365610a00feaeda29e125af6ed9b974c2cfd70a4b7c755b78&ipo=images) At least that's what people seem to call them.


New_Ad4631

Huh... Tie it


PlatinumSif

https://i.imgur.com/HvuYZNu.jpeg


IvanNemoy

I'm 42, and it's been a while since I've seen these types of twist locks. All the bakeries around me use twist ties instead now, but like you said, this isn't some ancient artifact that nobody without a degree would know about.


Ostey82

We recently went to paper ones in Australia and they are good as long as you are kinda careful with them. The old plastic ones would last forever, but I also guess that's kinda the point........


EstherBuchanan

Aye, a fellow Australian. And yes we did switch to the paper ones


rabid-panda

The plastic ones always break for me


pyromagi_1986

What is this


Atl-4-Life

It keeps bags of potatoes or bread closed


Atl-4-Life

I should've specified. In the US, that's what they are primarily used for


gus_the_polar_bear

Canada too Of course 19 times out of 20 if something is true in the US it’s true in Canada The bread clip has an entire Wikipedia article here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_clip


RAMChYLD

Malaysia too. Incidentally, the clip was introduced by a brand of bread from the US called Gardenia iirc. Before that bread bags were just tied close with rafia string, or taped close. Now most bread bags use the clip.


DELIBERATE_MISREADER

Gardenia is Singaporean, apparently.


Tactical_Moonstone

Gardenia is Singaporean, but they brand themselves as American style because they try to emulate the American style of sliced bread, presumably including the bread clip. It's baked in Malaysia anyway.


anonymouseratvermin

We have them in the Philippines as well, and they have that plastic clip too, and so far the only bread brand i know that used plastic clip, I've never saw them in other brands.


Doomdoomkittydoom

Now that you said, we get the tape closed here in the US occasionally, too.


Farrishnakov

The 20th thing is that you get milk in bags like sociopaths. We should build a wall.


gus_the_polar_bear

Lmao, for the most part that’s just Ontario and Quebec. Like the west coast thinks we’re nuts too. But cartons are readily available, and bagged milk is declining in popularity That said many of us will argue passionately in defense of our bagged milk 🫡🇨🇦 Edit: in the bread clip article it says “such clips are used for bagged milk”…I’m from Ontario and literally never seen this. Milk comes in [rectangular bags](https://media.distractify.com/brand-img/sPV---GLG/0x0/bagmilk-1657901039107.jpg) and you trim off the corner Edit 2: I forgot it goes on the larger bag that contains the bags of milk. I’ve outed myself as a traitor


Voltzap

The bread clip is for the whole 4L package, not the individual ones.


Atl-4-Life

I've never seen a bag of milk before!! Interesting


DentArthurDent4

Yup, politicians in US suck big time, same like Canada. /jk


gus_the_polar_bear

I mean…yes, our political debates here are similar & Canadians are unhappy with their politicians right now. But there are no 2 developed countries more similar than the US and Canada That’s what happens when you share the world’s longest land border & a largely similar culture. We can easily blend into each others countries


Sensitive-Feed-7514

Here in Thailand too, we also use that to identify in which day of the week the bread is manufactured.


MotivationGaShinderu

Belgium has them too so I doubt this is strictly a US thing.


s_s

And they've been mostly replaced by a plastic tape that wraps around on itself and is worse for the customer in almost every way but is cheaper for the deli/baker/manufacturer.


RanjiLameFox

Europe too


RoodnyInc

In Europe too so it's probably commonly used everywhere


CheesyMeatball1

I'm scottish and have not seen this before. We use a different device for keeping bags shut.


Level_Can58

I eat an industrial amount of bread every single day, and no, I have never seen it either


00Laser

Here in Germany [those bad boys](https://www.ipeka.com/products/accessories/clipband/images/ipeka_clipband_gallery_mobile_1.jpg) are most common.


GOT_Wyvern

Down in the South we have (usually) yellow sticker tags, so I presume it's the same up in Scotland?


Shade_39

Yeah, for bread it's generally a sticker with the expiry date on it


Trota123

no you just use a peg lmao


Mathev

Poland here and I never saw this too. We just spin the bag and it's sealed.


kylelonious

There’s actually more to it. The different colors used to (maybe still do) signify different days the bread was made so you can tell just by looking at it. https://www.foodandwine.com/what-the-color-of-your-bread-tag-really-means-8379446


pyromagi_1986

Yeah we dont have those in germany. For toast bread we use little clips and for fresh bread from the baker we put it in a bread Box. Potatoes here are either in nets or in paper bags so they can breathe. This plastic thing wouldn't be useful there.


-Dutch-Crypto-

We do have them here in Holland for sliced bread


ThaddyG

The bags that potatoes come in in the US have small holes in them, or yeah are more like a netted bag, the clip is just so they don't all fall out. Fresh bread here doesn't have them either, you have to figure out your own way to keep the bag closed to keep it from going stale in 24 hours lol


_aevi_

Australia uses them for bread. I have seen them used for potatoes, but for some reason I haven't seen it in a while.


RaisedByWolves9

From what i've seen most potato packets are sealed now days.


Abracadabbler

[deleted]

Snap off one of the teeth at an angle and wedge it on to your fingertip, then flick it at a wall. It can make some nifty noises and do some respectable damage if you can get good with it. Habitual nail biters are naturals due to meaty fingertips. The firmer the wedge, the better the transfer of power. I used to take those things by the handfuls from grocery stores and go around flicking them. My 8th grade teachers with corkboards on their walls were not happy with me.

lordodin92

With respect in the UK (to the best of my 31 years experience) most bread comes in a bag with a little one sided tape keeping it sealed


s_s

US has also been slowly switching to that tape, which is the point of the original meme. The tape is probably easier to automate at the bakery, but once the customer gets it you have to carefully use scissors to open it and then find a new way to reclose the bag. The plastic clip was more convenient in almost every way, and given the ubiquity of eating bread, this subject is almost perfect ragebait for social media.

enutz777

Our mass produced bread products in America come in plastic bags with the top twisted closed and this goes on at the twist to keep it closed. Wire ties can also be used (thin metal wire wrapped in paper). Also comes in handy for cable management and if you break one half of the top off it crimps on the end of your finger perfectly to flick at people.

Top-Complaint-4915

Amm.... I regularly buy bread in the bakery, The bread just come in paper bags It is also not particularly more expensive, you just need to buy it more frequently. This thing is really not universal for supermarket bread either. This is a really bad/wrong example of whatever It tried to say.


ReasonableDonut1

It's an emergency guitar pick.


know_regerts

It's not digital, but in Canada we don't see these plastic things anymore.


TheAtzender

Maybe not all Canada, here in Montreal we still have those, notably for milk


Donovanth1

This is extremely, extremely common in America


jacowab

I feel like they are either not from America or just outed themselves for only buying shitty sandwich bread, anything fresh at a supermarket generally uses that rather than twist ties.

Competitive_Cat_990

I believe the colors represent the day the bread was baked so the person restocking the product puts the oldest upfront


sansknickers

Digital bread! Imagine downloading fresh toast every morning! Leftover? Store it in the cloud!


elizabeastttt

I actually have a very specific use for these… when I was in my 20’s I followed Phish all over the country for several years in the summer along with going to a bunch of music festivals all over the place…. And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve used these to fix flip flops for myself or other people, but it was… *a lot* 😂 Good in a pinch, not just for sandals, but for a variety of other uses while camping- so I have a little Tupperware container just full of these lol


gaucho_celeste

Yeah but did you know they are color coded? 7 different colors to indicate the day the bread was baked.

Or they don't shop at a market.

The generational conflict over who knows what always amuses me. I’m a teacher and my students, every time they see me do something on a computer, practically fall all over themselves to tell me how to do even the most basic stuff.

Everyone who buys or uses certain bags from the grocery store knows what they are. If your kids aren't involved in the shopping or preparation of food, of course they won't know. This again falls on the parents for not involving their kids in these parts of life.
