    What's wrong with keeping bread in its original plastic packaging?

    • -8

      Micro Plastic bits going into your body is definitely not good for you.

      I'm not sure but I personally shouldn't trust the cheapest shittiest plastic the manufacturers use to cover their food products.

      /Max profit thoughts usually overcome any of the ethics and moral and health thoughts these days.

      • +2

        one less thing to ingest micro plastics

      • Our bodies are already full of them anyway, (profanity) it

    • Not a bread specific thing but everytime you grab a bread it's like smearing your hand on the supermarket shelf first by touching the bag

    • +2

      Ignoring the microplastics issue, bread sweats in plastic which means it goes mouldy faster. Bread bins give an extra few days of “freshness” at least, which varies per the quality of the bread

      • +2

        If you can finish bread in time,it is probably better to store it in the fridge instead

        • +5

          never store bread in the fridge. it will go stale incredibly fast. put it in the freezer

          • @Kambo_Rambo: What do you mean by bread going stale? I get bread going mouldy and going bad, but what's going stale?

        • +4

          Unless you live in hot humid environment, the benefits of refrigerating are outweighed by increased rate of staling. If you live in sthn states and it’s going mouldy on you, better to chuck in the freezer

        All the brand name breads like Tip-top/Helgas can keep longer due to preservatives. One of those store-made, woolies and Coles bread goes off quicker. Temperature also affects regardless of the packaging.

    • A little off topic but does anyone know the reasoning behind printing the best before date on a removable tag as apposed to printing on the plastic bag.

      • +2

        cheaper

        don't know but the story of bread tags is a lot more wild than youd expect

        Bags are mass produced and not produced at the same time as the bread. Trying to tag the packet with bread in it is not as easy as a semi-solid tag that needs to be put on the now packed bread with the correct info. It is also easier to read the date on the tag then a plastic bag, you can move it around more easily and put it up to light from one point, harder with a bag and for elderly or those with disabilities, would need to be on all four sides for convenience. Bread usually sits up right or on it side and you access it from one point. When the bread is tied, it has minimal appropriate surface to put the date at the top and the plastic bag top is twisted to put the tag on, again, not much visible flat space and existing date would be most likely partially or totally covered.

        Old bakery bread used to come with tie-wire and hand written market dates on the clear plastic bag, possibly with a small or central bakery logo. Depended on the bakery.

          Milk bottles are mass produced and the BB is printed on during the filling process. I really don't think it is a technical issue.

          • +3

            @TSIF: Do you want squished bread? Because that’s how you get squished bread.

          • @TSIF: Milk bottle hardness vs thin plastic bag hardness, the latter of which has none. If they tagged the bag before the bread is put inside may be, but where would they put it???

            Refer to above, the only place would be the sides or base but how many bags have clear areas. The size of text, readability and placement are then key. And which is easier, marking a hard service you need to use any way to seal the bag or finding a consistent place to mark a date which is easily and consistently seen?

            Any crease or fold, hinders display of important health and safety information. The tag does away with this unless a really good sized date is put on it. Again, the top where you access it is the wisest and easiest place to see it and therefore put it.

    • What's wrong with keeping bread in its original plastic packaging?

      The same original packaging that’s been handled by god knows how many people, put in a shopping trolley that probably had shitty diapers and kids standing in it and put on a conveyor belt with who knows what germs on it?

      No thanks, I’m not putting that packaging my kitchen.

      • +3

        a little bit of germs is good for you.

      • +1

        so you remove all packaging outside before bringing it into the kitchen?

        do you also clean your shoes after each time you go outside

        • +1

          so you remove all packaging outside before bringing it into the kitchen?

          Yes. Or let them sit in storage for about a week if they’re not perishable (as this is about how long Covid survives on surfaces).

          do you also clean your shoes after each time you go outside

          Well I don’t wear shoes inside. I also don’t put my shoes on my kitchen bench, in the fridge or pantry if you want to make your analogy make any sense.

    Thanks op. Got a chance to use onepass.

    • Haha, this was half the reason I grabbed one too. Subbed with the deal yesterday and figured I'd put it to use (especially since there's no nearby stock at my local Kmart)

  • +5

    Ants love this !

  • +7

    Thanks, bought one for the pool to stop the phones getting splashed.

    • This would be the best use of this since 80's

  • +5

    Why don't you just do what every asian does throw the loaf in its plastic in the fridge.

    • +5

      TIL I'm Asian

      • +1

        You mean any normal person or person who lives on their own? Or toasts all bread they use?

        • Yeah that - lol

    • +1

      How's that an asian thing?

  • +8

    Cheap stainless steel like this is rubbish. It will have rust marks on it within a couple years and will be in landfill before you know it. Buy a wood one or none at all

    • Thanks, I'm very weary of buying Kmart junk for these sorts of reason. Will only buy very specific things from Kmart…

    • +3

      Couple of years worth of use for $6 is a bargain in my books. Thanks for convincing me to get one!

    • Years…. $6. Skeletor is ok with that

  • +2

    Why not throw the bread in freezer like every Aussie does? That's the reason toasters have "defrost" feature after all.
