If you look at it, it’s lawful good.
But at its core, it’s chaotic neutral.
True neutral?
Throw in the fridge
Twist and tuck all day erre’day
All day until I started steady living with a woman. The twist tie or whatever must be attached at all times.
Many years later we got a cheap plastic bread box and I gotta say it’s awesome. You can twist and tuck and the bread stays good even longer.
Twist and tuck inside the breadbox obviously.
When you put the Lawful Neutral into the Lawful Good to form the Lawful Supreme
The box being “good” is wild. That is where bread goes stale unseen and uneaten. Its gotta be near the top of pointless kitchen things that only people with more money then sense have.
A bread box can be good for packing bread or sandwiches that you want to protect from being squished, like when camping for example.
That is not a bread box, more of a travel bread case. I use one for eggs and bread stuff when camping as well. But this… thing is a counter bound thing that is heavy and artsy.
I either reuse the clip or twist and tuck it if there’s no clip. I don’t understand why I’d use extra stuff for this like my own clips or rubber bands
I’m with you, either lawful or chaotic neutral is the way. Everyone else is trying to hard or not trying hard enough.

I got mine on the side of the road. Sanded it down and painted it up.
I love it. Bread goes in. Stays fresh.
Yes, my family uses it to store spatulas.
Since most of them are not airtight they suck like hell and they heat up in the summer to make a mold heaven. Some of them have gaps larger than a London subway station.
I have one. We still use the plastic bags, but just needed a place to put it that wasn’t “out.”
At least three people on Earth own bread boxes. Elsewhere, I’m unsure.
We got one like a year ago and I love it. Cheap plastic thing. It’s airtight. No more arguments about me not using that useless bread tie and the bread lasts longer.
I have never in my entire life seen an actual bread box, I thought they were a thing from England or something
They’re pretty common here in Sweden, at least in my experience.
How else to store real bread?
So not just the sandwich/toast bread, that comes in plastic bags, but real bread, with a crust and in plastic wrap it would lose its crust, but without any protection, it dries out.
It’s a delicate balance act, where paper and a bread box seem to work bestI think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn’t become spongey
My grandma used one. Personally I think the real function was to keep mice from eating your bread, but that hasn’t been a problem for a long time.
that hasn’t been a problem for a long time.
Mice are still a thing, dude.
Houses tend to be built tighter so mice can’t get in as easy as it was when we had old drafty log cabins, dude.
Oh good, then I can tell the ones in my basement my house is built too recently for them.
I saw a dead mouse at work two hours ago. Mouse traps, bait, and poison are still sold in grocery and hardware stores. You are just wrong.
Hmm other things: Traps and poison to keep the population down. Amazing. City ordinances to keep trash levels down and thus mice populations down. Incredible. A refrigerator to keep your bread in. Lasereyes.jpg
It’s not if mice still exist lmao, it’s whether we still need breadboxes to stop them eating our bread. Since you are so insistent on moving the goalposts I’ll leave you to have your last rage comment. Ciao.
Look at this guy, living in a house less than 70 years old.
I’d think most things post WW2 would be pretty good if kept up and neighbors kept up. Probably even older if they went through checking for gaps and air leaks. Neighbors play a role, if there’s a mice outbreak they’ll find more weaknesses.
Also we have fridges now. Yes you might argue to not put bread in the fridge but if mice are eating it you’d probably do it pretty quick.
People are so privileged and they don’t even know it. Every place I have lived I have had to catch mice, and we’re not messy with food and don’t leave stuff out. We don’t kill them either. We just can’t afford to live in some new-ass house or apartment, and we’re above median income.
They serve to keep bread at a cool, constant temperature, keep the mice away, and help keep the bread from going stale.
To be fair, you originally said, “the real reason,” but have just listed three different equal reasons.
Bread can’t go stale if the mice keep eating it. There’s an order of operations here.
I don’t know that I agree that breadboxes were solely used in times/cases where the risk of mice getting to the bread was present but I get your reasoning.
As with many things it starts for one reason, then a different benefit comes up, becomes a norm just because, then peters out.
English here. Anyone I know with a bread box use it in combination with one of the others. I have one, so we’re Bread Box + Twist and Tuck.
My grandma had one. Growing up we just kept our bread & bagels in the microwave.
Gf does this with baked goods. It’s awful for me because I microwave a lot and don’t always remember to put stuff back and it gets stale.
Same, my mom said I should get one when I moved out but we didn’t even have one at home?? 😭
She probably is just afraid you will leave the bag open and then eat moldy bread.
Free healthcare.
I’d see myself leaving a bread box open faster than the plastic bag the bread comes in tbh
Open bag will just dry out, it’ll get moldy quicker with a sealed bag
Lawful neutral, or if the clip gets lost, then chaotic neutral.
Chaotic neutral also if it comes with one of those wire twist ties, ain’t nobody got time for that. Only plastic clips get reused.
Oh I like twisty ties! Because I just wrap it once around the bag, then I get to spin the bread like a nunchuck to twist it all up
I am lawful neutral (use clip it came with) until about halfway through the loaf, then I become chaotic neutral (twist and tuck) at the back half.
There isn’t enough bag to properly twist and tuck until that point anyway.
I’m lawful neutral until I lose the bread clip and go chaotic neutral. Sometimes I’m lawful good the whole time, but I’ve been chaotic at the start and that’s fun!
Let’s put an end to the discussion
lol
lmaoROFL 🤣🤣🤣
Pros and cons of breadbox? Any paladins out there willing to enlighten us?
Had one, hated it, forget the bread was in there* and it doesn’t have some sort of magical bread preservation properties, it’s just a spot taking up counter space to hold a plastic bag.
* (I recognize this is my specific problem but it’s on the list of why it doesn’t work for me)
Same here though, the bread turns to a brick of mold way before even getting close to the end.
The refrigerator might change the bread properties but at least it isn’t ruined in two days.
The fridge is the worst place. Try the freezer.
When it’s more than one the others get frozen, I overbuy when it’s on sale.
Yeah I don’t wanna exaggerate but it was nearly the worst environment I could think of to just leave bread in. If you had a party or a brunch or something and didn’t want the bread sitting out, sure, but for having in there for a week and a half unmonitored, we’ve been taken for absolute fools. :)
I’ve tried bread containers (like boxes, but sealed plastic) and it was awful. I swear it went moldy faster in the thing than outside it.
Plastic seals in moisture, wood absorbs it
I guess I’m lawful evil lol
What in the world is the bottle hack
You cut the head off a bottle so you have the screwy-bit. Then you pull the open end through the bottle-Head and screw the lid on.
Hmmmmmmmmmm microplastics in my bread
Bread that’s in a plastic bag lol
Wouldn’t want to get those inside its plastic bag
TBF those are already in there. They’re in the water supply!
Cutting off the top of a bottle and jamming the bag through the lid to seal it.
That sounds chaotic evil to me tbh
