Some things were never right for the job in the first place.
Why, then, do they linger on when other alternatives are readily available?
Oh, let’s don’t go there. So yesterday already.
THIS.
The dreaded Bread Tag. Why, I ask; WHY?

You don’t prefer that to the little twist ties?

In a word, nohellno…

Interesting. The bread tie thingy is one of those few things that doesn’t seem to have any other purpose. YOu know how in magazines like Real Simple they always give you clever alternative uses for everyday household items? Never for a bread tie.

hmm, such a small little item to get under your skin.

Yes, but aren’t pet peeves always on the picayune side?
Am I really all alone on this one?!? Damn. There goes my hopes for a grassroots boycott movement to bring the bread industry to its knees.

my only issue would be they fall on the floor and slide under the fridge never to be seen again.
I think this is a one-woman crusade.

Forget the bread tag. Let’s talk about those ridiculous little stickers they feel MUST be applied to every single piece of fruit in the produce department. Now there’s something to fixate on.

Agree. Bread tag, twist ties, stickers on fruit and veggies. Yick.

I’m looking for a hobby. I’ll jump on the bandwagon with you. Stupid, stupid little wastes of plastic. Men on moon…still using bread tags. Shouldn’t we be ziplocking our carbs by now??
November 8, 2009 at 9:26 pm |
Yes! Produce stickers! I’m right there with ya.
And thanks to those of you willing to wave the banner o’annoyance at my little pesky peeve. I was feeling so… lonely.

But aren’t they sort of groovy in a retro kind of way? hee–just stirrin’ the pot a little lol
I mean, what would we have in the very bottom of the junk drawer if we didn’t have a couple of those grimy plastic bread thingies?
Seriously, someone needs to find a viable second use for those things. Hmmmmm…
