Do people under 40 not buying bread?
They just download it from the cloud nowadays
You wouldn’t download a loaf
I totally would
This, is an occlupanid. To read further about the fascinating research on these, see the “Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group” (HORG) website. https://www.horg.com/horg/
Risky click of the day, but darn interesting!
Aren’t humans great sometimes? :)
Wait, there’s not just one kind?
Indeed not! Australia has some interesting ones not yet classified, if you come across an occlupanid in your daily life that has not yet been classified and catalogued, you can contact HORG and send them in. :)
They still use these???
That’s what I was thinking. I lost one to my bagels last week.
F
I’m sorry.
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!
Still widely used in the Netherlands so everyone here knows.
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?
All the cool kids are doing keto and eating gluten free now
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.
These are an essential piece of beach/holiday gear to fix your jandals(flipflops or thongs in Australia)with.
Do people under 40 just not buy bread in your world?
Have my updoot instead.
under 30 maybe
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.

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