47.When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have
you ever wondered which is the freshest? So did you
"squeeze" for softness to determine freshness?
48.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: M - Blue, Tu - Green, Th Red, F -
White, S -Yellow. So if today were 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.
It's 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.
49.You learn something new everyday!!! Enjoy fresh
bread when you buy bread with the right color on the
day you are shopping.
