When you go to buy bread in the grocery store,have you ever wondered
which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness softness.

Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a
week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Each day has a different color twist tie. They are:
Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow.
So if today is Thursday, you would want a red twist tie - not white which
is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color
Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow --- Monday through Saturday.
Very easy to remember.

I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the
bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the one with the
plastic clips have different colors for the same reason.

You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy
bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

I knew some of those, but by no means all. I'd be leery of WD40 rubbed into my skin for anything, though. Thanks.

Thanks Earthling!!
I use WD40 on my hands all the time to get motor grease off of them! Works great! (no problems that Im aware of) :o)

Years ago, my MIL swore by WD40 for her arthritic knees..Now my husband and I use it..LOL

Hmmm...nothing about the curative properties of Windex though... ;)

Ohhhhh do tell angie! please!!!

omg, someone who HASN'T seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding???? You absolutely MUST rent it if you want the story. :)

lol! OK! so as of right now I SHOULD NOT start putting windex on sore muscles or anything?? LOL

Well, unless someone has some real life experience with this, than I would say no, wait and just see the movie. :)

The bread tie thing isn't exactly true. Different bakeries have different arrangements.

With some brands of bread it is true, but it doesn't really matter too much. This killed me:

In other words, since you're not going to encounter a loaf that's more than a few days old anyway, there's no earthly reason to mail off the astonishing news to the entire population of your online address book that there's a secret code worked into bread tags. Even without knowing the code, your friends and family are never going to get a stale loaf.

Too funny, GW..too true, but too funny...

This reminds me of the other day, when my mother-in-law called me. She said, "How do I forward an e-mail to everyone in my address book?"

At first, the wheels started turning, thinking of an easy way to explain the nuts and bolts of doing this, but then it occurred that I might want to ask what she was wanting to forward.

She said her granddaughter Abigail had sent her an e-mail about a Wal-Mart associate whose daughter was missing.

Hmmmmm. "Why don't you forward it to me first, and let me check it out. There's an awful lot of hoaxes out on the web about missing kids."

As soon as I read the name of the missing girl and saw the picture, I recognized it. Sure enough, it was that Penny Brown hoax that's been going around for a few years now: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/children/penny.htm

In the end, it was a good way to educate both her and Abigail about checking stuff out before forwarding it.

Dont mean to hijack the thread earthling, but speaking of hoax's (?) this is a neat site. http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/tests/hoaxphototest.html

Ahem...Got 100% on level one, but I didn't do as well on the other four levels!
