        Only thing I know is to fix cheap flip flops where the plastic strap breaks through the foam sole. And its not a permanent solution.

      Mine always break by the time I get through a bag of bread at best, what’s the proper way to reapply them without stressing the plastic?

        They’ll break eventually but it’s nice to get a couple more uses out of them for things like bags of frozen veggies and stuff.

    We used to break one wing of, wedge it onto the tip of our middle finger and flick them around the store. Mom would get so pissed!

    Stores around us used to have them for produce bags.

      Stores used to have this thin red tape for produce bags and it was almost impossible to remove the tape so you just mangled the bag

    I can keep track of the clip for about 1/3 of the bread loaf… until the twist is long enough to tuck easily. Then, sometimes I’m even too put-upon to twist and I simply wrap and tuck.

      Me too, but there’s a way to make the twists easier to use.

      • Hold the open end of the bag and twist the loaf to make the twisted end
      • Fold the wire in half around the twisted part of the bag
      • Pinch the 2 ends of the wire with one hand and hold the open end of the bag with the other hand. The bread will hang below that like a Y.
      • Swing the loaf of bread in a loop around your hands 2 or 3 times like you’re making a ring with your arms and swinging the bread into it or out of it. That twists the wire around the bag.

        You buy them in bags of 20ish, and keep buying them until you have established an equilibrium in your home where there always are a few around to put on new bags. I’m not joking.
