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 and
Saturday = Yellow.
So if today was Thursday, you would want 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. Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the
right color on the day you are shopping.
