for all my favourite bread-squeezers...

this may not be true, but i like it anyway...and if it's not, you can blame the nameless acquaintance who sent me the info.
When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or 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 was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white, which is Friday's (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday.

i'd also like to remind you guys that (i assume) this is specific to america...but feel free to ask the trini/bajan/insert-your-nationality-here store-owners what they do and lemme know.
walk good.

It's true!

I viewed this with a huge chunk of skepticism, but a google search turned this up: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/f/freshbread.htm

HOWEVER, that link says the specific color codes vary by company, so the info may not be all that useful unless you can figure all of them out by lurking around the bread aisle until the delivery guy comes.

I saw this short film about bread salesmen once...but that's a story for another day.
