I ain't got no time to maintain some stupid little plastic bread clip. I got a landlord to feed.
-
I spin the bag and then clip it shut because spinning it gives the bag an easy part to clip.
Is…is that not what everyone's doing‽

Never even seen a bread clip, I just use the twisty thing that comes with the bread.

Bread sold in plastic bags is so strange for me
we have them in paper bags, so that the crust stays crusty 
Here, pre-sliced bread (sold on store shelves) comes in plastic bags, normal bread (sold in bakeries and in-store bakeries) comes in paper bags

Lots of the bread in thé US has that clip instead of the little wire thing

I like these way more than the twisty ties.
Me too, but there's a way to make the twists easier to use.
- Hold the open end of the bag and twist the loaf to make the twisted end
- Fold the wire in half around the twisted part of the bag
- Pinch the 2 ends of the wire with one hand and hold the open end of the bag with the other hand. The bread will hang below that like a Y.
- Swing the loaf of bread in a loop around your hands 2 or 3 times like you're making a ring with your arms and swinging the bread into it or out of it. That twists the wire around the bag.

I can keep track of the clip for about 1/3 of the bread loaf... until the twist is long enough to tuck easily. Then, sometimes I'm even too put-upon to twist and I simply wrap and tuck.

I use these
This is just a binder clip with more steps

We've learned quite a bit about these Occlupanids thanks to the HORG:

Kids, check it out. This should have been your inheritance.
Edit: spelling.

The wire thing always works.
Fuck the cardboard clip, you get one use out of that fucking thing.

Yeah, but some of us don't want to go through a giant indoor hedge maze to get one.
are you describing a grocery store?

Is that how you think of your "random small appliance" drawer? Aka. The junk drawer of the kitchen.
-
Am I the only one who spins it then sleeves it inside out back over the bread?
Not enough plastic for that until further along in the loaf...!?

It's called an occlupanid, thank you.

That's a fun rabbit hole.

Stores used to have this thin red tape for produce bags and it was almost impossible to remove the tape so you just mangled the bag
They still use those here. I don't bother with the tape. Just cut the bag.

It says IKEA on it.
