Down The Rabbit Hole

“"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” “She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it)”

42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered
which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness?

Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week?
Monday,Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie.

They are: Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Green, Thursday = Red, Friday = White and Saturday = Yellow.

So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow,
Monday through Saturday.
Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting.
I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist
ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You
learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with
the right color on the day you are shopping.

Some of these I knew about and some my house isn't equipped for - fortunately we don't have Efferdent yet ;0
Please allow me to add my welcome back also. I too have been having to work while at my job. Imagine.

Ok, wait. I love the list but what if the bread delivery person hasn't gotten there on Thursday and you wind up getting the right color tab on it but it's a week old? I feel like I'll be able to confuse myself even more now.
