Utah Fishing Reports
I was opening a new bag of bread this morning for breakfast and thought about the direction of the twist on the twist tie…it was twisted so I had to twist to my left in order to undo it…I thought it strange and so I went searching.

How to Know the Freshness of a Bag of Bread With Clips & Ties
Bread companies use colored ties to show when the bread was baked.
You may or may not have noticed when you buy your bread that the color of the tie that closes the bread bag is sometimes different. If you have noticed, you likely didn’t consider that it might mean something. But it does. The companies that make and distribute the bags use certain colored ties to help consumers determine how fresh the bread is. They also print the date on the bag, but checking the colored ties is a quicker way knowing how old the bread you are buying is.
