what is the bottle hack?
You put the bread in a bottle and you can just put the cap on it to keep it fresh. You can just pour it into your toaster after that!
🎶please don’t forget to close my bread that’s in a bottle, yeah🎶
Cut the top off of a 2 liter bottle and put the bread bag through the neck, spread it around the neck, then put on the bottle cap.
sounds like a lot of work when I can just leave the bag open
Why even put it back tbh
- cut the neck off a plastic bottle
- thread the end of the bag through
- fold the bag open around the bottle neck
- close the cap, trapping the bag between the bottle neck and the cap.
I’m sure it works but any other method of closing the bag from the top two rows are better imo, at least for bread.
Bottle the bread?
Idk
I’m chaotic neutral!
This is brilliant 🤩
I am neutral evil - a twist and tuck.
You mean chaotic neutral. Neutral evil is just tucking…
Lawful good and chaotic good is so much work for diminishing return. The best way to do it is to use back the tag so you know when to throw this bag of still good bread into the fridge.
Jokes on you, de-aired, twisted, twist tied and tucked
When you say de-air, do you gently squish the whole loaf before twisting as well to effectively vacuum seal it?
Yes
Just like my balls.
Neutral evil AND kinda lawful good, but using a second larger bag instead of a bread box.
We have to lock ours in a safe because our cat’s an asshole
We would like to see the evidence
Oh, you’ve got a carb nibbling goblin, too? If we accidentally forget to put away the bagels, the bread, the muffins, the cookies, the cake, the insert whatever carb treat here… We will inevitably wake up to find tiny holes chewed out of the bag or box and shredded crumbs everywhere, including stuck to the little asshole’s fur.
Just put it in the freezer in the bag it comes in.
Most of this shit has been frozen before it reaches the supermarket anyway.
Buy better bread!
Takes me about 10 days to get through a loaf, depending on what we’re eating.
I don’t know any type of better bread that would last that long outside of a freezer.
The amount of bread we wasted before moving our bread to the freezer was crazy. Most of our bread gets toasted anyway, but the microwave handles the rest.
I put mine in the fridge. Why? It lasts longer.
I just never bake mine.
Freezer is my preference. Stays good for very long and keeps the texture and freshness. Put it in toaster or microwave after if in a hurry, otherwise you can just put slices in the fridge so you have unfrozen ones for the breakfast.
That’s actually false. Bread is one of the few items that turn bad quicker in the fridge than on the counter. https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/shopping-storing/food/bread-storage
Yeah, good point, but that article isn’t talking about what’s in this picture.
Store-bought sandwich bread usually can be kept in the fridge without much change in texture. That’s because it often contains additives and preservatives that keep it fresh longer.
Oh I don’t mean homemade. I meant regular bread. I don’t bake. I cook. But good to know!
I live in a hot, humid environment. Keeping bread in the fridge helps it to stay good for multiple weeks. If I leave it out, it molds way quicker. I also sometimes will store bread in the freezer to keep it fresh even longer if I know I’m just going to make toast out of it.
I think in my entire life I’ve only ever seen one or maybe 2 bread boxes.
I have an old bread box; but I don’t use it for bread.
Did you know you can put your weed in there?
Did you know you can put your weed anywhere? Some places have better results but you can still put it there.
I hide my weed in the bread.
In that case, does it become a weed box? Is a bread box still a “bread box” if it doesn’t contain bread?
Does anyone still have a bread box? I assume it’s to stop rodents, but hopefully most people don’t have rodents in their house. Does a bread box do anything else, or is that another technology that can fade into history?
Edit: TIL;
I have one! I love it, it’s got a magnetic door my cat can’t open is one of my best purchases ever. I use it for baked goods, though, not bread. It’s too humid where I am to keep bread fresh at room temperature.
Never thought of that - I usually put baked goods in the microwave to keep them sort of fresh. Is it big enough for a 9”x12” baking pan? Tall enough for a layer cake?
Mine is not, it has two shelves which would each fit a 9*5 loaf pan with a little room on each end. Or like four cereal bowls of cookies. They do make bigger ones, but I imagine a microwave probably works just as well for something that gets eaten quickly.
I have a bread box…which I generally don’t keep my bread in
I bought bread box once but every time we used it the bread wouldn’t last 3 days. Can anyone explain why that was?
Removed by mod
Really I am supposed to use whole loaf of bread in 3 days?
No, you’re supposed to buy a loaf, use 1/3 of it before it goes bad, throw away the rest, and buy another loaf.
That’s fuck up.

I use one to protect my bread products from pets.
Hate this diagram because who uses a bread box without any of the other non-chaotic evil options.
Chaotic neutral and lawful good is the GOAT
Drop the bread box and just gently squish the entire loaf before twisting and tucking to basically vacuum seal it. That’s my GOAT
This. For soft crumb American sandwich sliced bread, you want as little air circulation as possible, balanced only by not crushing the loaf. A bread box is a quaint place to toss the bread once you squish the air out, but without the bag it’s basically the same as the chaotic evil option.
Either lawful or chaotic neutral depending on whether I can find the clip again. But I doubt it matters since I store it in the freezer and heat the slices I need when I need them.
Turns out I am Lawful Evil.
This image is fairly old, and I have disagreed with it from the get go. Chaotic evil is tying as many knots as possible, forcing one to cut the bag open.
After licking every slice.
Chaotic evil is leaving the bag wide open … in the freezer … behind the three bags of frozen fries … for three weeks … but it’s the only bread you have at 11pm on a Saturday night and you don’t feel like doing or getting anything else to make you sandwich.
