Tried it and I still peed my pants, I think I’m going back to bread clips.
Am I the only one who spins it then sleeves it inside out back over the bread?
Seems overkill
You monster
Not enough plastic for that until further along in the loaf…!?
Not only do I use these, I save and reuse them for other things.
Like what? What are they useful for?
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.
Respect for a fellow re-user. 🤜
It always seems like not many people pay attention to that part of the motto.
I just do a slip knot.
I push my fingers into my eyes.
Good idea
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
God, I hate that tape so much. I still see it sometimes.
They still use those here. I don’t bother with the tape. Just cut the bag.
Never even seen a bread clip, I just use the twisty thing that comes with the bread.
Lots of the bread in thé US has that clip instead of the little wire thing
TIL
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.
I like these way more than the twisty ties.
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.
I have to reread this way too many times to get an imagein my head
I thought that while typing it. It would be a 5 second YouTube video, but the text description is hard to follow.
Pfifft I just leave the bag open
Bread needs to breathe
Pfft, I just eat the entire loaf in one sitting.
I believe that was chaotic evil on the chart.
I use these
Take your fowl magic elsewhere vvitch.
Also id probably lose 4 of these before giving up outright.

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.
Foul
This is clearly derived from chicken magic.
Chicken arise arise chicken arise.
No, they were invented by chickens.
Yeah, but some of us don’t want to go through a giant indoor hedge maze to get one.
are you describing a grocery store?
It says IKEA on it.
Ohhh. I sincerely thought you were referring to your own personal small appliance drawer, hah. Glad I revisited this comment.
Is that how you think of your “random small appliance” drawer? Aka. The junk drawer of the kitchen.
me too, so simple but a godsend
This is just a binder clip with more steps
It’s called an occlupanid, thank you.
Give me a twist tie, so I can violently spin the whole loaf a few rotations.
Clothespin gang
We’ve learned quite a bit about these Occlupanids thanks to the HORG:
That’s a fun rabbit hole.
Man, I have a new favorite animal, and it turns out it’s a plastic clip
Thank you for bringing me a small slice of the Old Internet, 1.0. I miss it, and its very specific websites, tremendously and frequently.
Kids, check it out. This should have been your inheritance.
Edit: spelling.
I spin the bag and then clip it shut because spinning it gives the bag an easy part to clip.
Spinning the bag is also fun. Sometimes I spin it more than necessary just to be silly
Plus it makes the bread dizzy.
Is…is that not what everyone’s doing‽
That is what everyone is supposed to do, and yet…
