Beat me to it! I was thinking of that site as I was reading the inital post. Howard and SO are obviously only talented amatures in comparison . Scary part is that apparently a lot of that site is archived and you need to sign up for the mailing list to get access .

And damn the aclocktwistists as well. How anyone can believe that load of tripe is beyond me.

Ahh, the dread bread tags. I've always had a difficult time getting those back on to the bag, so I remove them the first time I go to use the bread (or bagels or English muffins), and promptly replace them with an old twist tie from earlier bread purchases.

Per the environmental concerns, some of the twist ties are made with paper instead of plastic. The problem with these of course, is they are only good for a few uses before they start to fall apart, thus increasing your chances of injury. I still save them all the same, just to be able to NOT use a platic bread tag.

Flashback to early HS: bread tags were very popular for use as a short range weapon. If you break one of the tabs off, you could put the end of a finger in the other end (pointy end nearest your fingernail) and then the tag could be flicked at a high rate of speed! *WHIZZZZZZ* Of course, there was the ever-present Christmas Story warning with these: "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!"
