    I had to switch to using a bread box because my dog would eat anything on the counter, and I didn’t really have anywhere else to store my bread/bagels without really rearranging my limited cabinet space.

    That dog was ravenous. She even ate a whole crab once, shell and all. I learned my lesson.

    Isn’t all of it evil, because they bought bread in a plastic bag? Use a paper bag. And if the bread gets hard, steam it, bake it, and its fresh again.

      In grocery stores in many parts of the US at least, it is extremely hard not to find bread in plastic bags. Even the one of 3 near me that has its own bakery puts the bread in a plastic bag, and then in another bag that is paper with a plastic “window”, and the paper part has a PE wax lining for god knows what reason.

          To what put the bread in after you throw away the plastic bag?

            I don’t throw away the plastic bag, because I don’t have the plastic bag. Because the bread I bought was in a paper bag.

            I you live in a country where you don’t get bread in paper bags and you want to avoid plastic waste, you can put the bread in a cotton bag in the store, which you can wash and reuse.

                Were I buy bread it is on a rack, and you use tongs to put it into a paper bag. You can also put it into a slicer first and then in the bag, but I rather slice it myself at home.

                Or I buy it a a bakery, where some employee packs it for me, you can ask them to put it into your cotton bag, if they only have plastic bags.

                I don’t buy prepackaged bread.

      I was thinking that this matrix is missing an accompanying time-chart but I don’t know how to plot the y axis.

    I tie a slip knot. That is stupidly easy to do/undo, but apparently I am hated for it.

      Slipknots are ok but I think you may as well do a mean twist and tuck unless the bread is travelling. The knot can go bad* if you share bread with others.

        Not sure I understand what you are saying. I do a real big twist and then a slip knot. The twist doesn’t come undone. I am out of bread or I would take a picture.

      Cut the top off of a 2 liter bottle and put the bread bag through the neck, spread it around the neck, then put on the bottle cap.

      • cut the neck off a plastic bottle
      • thread the end of the bag through
      • fold the bag open around the bottle neck
      • close the cap, trapping the bag between the bottle neck and the cap.

      I’m sure it works but any other method of closing the bag from the top two rows are better imo, at least for bread.

      You put the bread in a bottle and you can just put the cap on it to keep it fresh. You can just pour it into your toaster after that!

      I do the same. I don’t understand why it puzzles some people. They look at me like I put a padlock on it and I have to undo it for them, which is just pulling the end…

      A slipknot works great! It’s done in a second and easily undone as well.

    Hate this diagram because who uses a bread box without any of the other non-chaotic evil options.

    Chaotic neutral and lawful good is the GOAT

      Drop the bread box and just gently squish the entire loaf before twisting and tucking to basically vacuum seal it. That’s my GOAT

        This. For soft crumb American sandwich sliced bread, you want as little air circulation as possible, balanced only by not crushing the loaf. A bread box is a quaint place to toss the bread once you squish the air out, but without the bag it’s basically the same as the chaotic evil option.

    Where does “twist and pull back over the loaf” fall? Same as twist and tuck essentially?

    What if you use the bag clip, but then slash the side of the bag with a knife to show dominance?
