        Soggy bread sounds terrible. Do they at least keep it in a bread box in the cloud?

    Ridiculous. I’m only 35 and I can tell that this is obviously a Starburst with a hole punched out.

      If you were over 40, you’d call them opal fruits!

    Yeah that’s ammo (specifically 2 rounds) in the endless war to hit <insert family member> with a covert flick of the finger from across the room!

    Still exists in cardboard form, not entirely sure why people wouldn’t know what this is at basically any age, unless they buy no bread products?

      Here in the UK, I don’t think I’ve seen one of those in use for more than 20 years. Maybe it is still in use elsewhere?

        I don’t think i’ve seen one. Even loaves from bakers 20 years ago were sealed using that little machine with strips of red sticky tape.

          I have a clear memory from the 80s for sure where these were routinely used on pre-sliced bread loaves. I’m sure I have seen them since the 80s. But they became much rarer for certain.

    At first I thought of course everybody knows, but the longer I was thinking: I haven’t seen one in a long time

    Yes, but how many knows that you can break them in half so that the opening is split in two. Then sort of wedge it onto your finger and shoot them at unsuspecting siblings?

    I know what it is, but I have no idea what it’s called. Like, if I had to order them from the factory, I’d probably get the wrong ones.

    TIL these aren’t used anymore some places. These are on every bag of buns at all the stores near me.
