4. 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.
