Hate this diagram because who uses a bread box without any of the other non-chaotic evil options.
Chaotic neutral and lawful good is the GOAT
Drop the bread box and just gently squish the entire loaf before twisting and tucking to basically vacuum seal it. That's my GOAT
This. For soft crumb American sandwich sliced bread, you want as little air circulation as possible, balanced only by not crushing the loaf. A bread box is a quaint place to toss the bread once you squish the air out, but without the bag it's basically the same as the chaotic evil option.
This image is fairly old, and I have disagreed with it from the get go. Chaotic evil is tying as many knots as possible, forcing one to cut the bag open.
what is the bottle hack?
You put the bread in a bottle and you can just put the cap on it to keep it fresh. You can just pour it into your toaster after that!
Cut the top off of a 2 liter bottle and put the bread bag through the neck, spread it around the neck, then put on the bottle cap.
- cut the neck off a plastic bottle
- thread the end of the bag through
- fold the bag open around the bottle neck
- close the cap, trapping the bag between the bottle neck and the cap.
I’m sure it works but any other method of closing the bag from the top two rows are better imo, at least for bread.
I do neutral evil because I haven't seen a reason to do anything else.
You’ve never ended up with stale or moldy bread? I’m envious.
Bread is a stapleware, as such it needs to be eaten. Keeping the bag open for easier (tactical), time-critical access is a thus a necessity.
the... the bottle hack is for things like popcorn kernels that you can pour...
whoever closes a bread with the bottle hack is the true evil hiding in plain sight
Does anyone still have a bread box? I assume it’s to stop rodents, but hopefully most people don’t have rodents in their house. Does a bread box do anything else, or is that another technology that can fade into history?
Edit: TIL;
I bought bread box once but every time we used it the bread wouldn’t last 3 days. Can anyone explain why that was?
Jokes on you, de-aired, twisted, twist tied and tucked
Chaotic neutral for me. The twist tie goes in my twist tie collection.
idk why anyone would choose anything but chaotic neutral
unless you own a breadbox
Here's a version for my fellow gluten-free peeps:

I put mine in the fridge. Why? It lasts longer.
That's actually false. Bread is one of the few items that turn bad quicker in the fridge than on the counter. https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/shopping-storing/food/bread-storage
I live in a hot, humid environment. Keeping bread in the fridge helps it to stay good for multiple weeks. If I leave it out, it molds way quicker. I also sometimes will store bread in the freezer to keep it fresh even longer if I know I'm just going to make toast out of it.
Oh I don't mean homemade. I meant regular bread. I don't bake. I cook. But good to know!
Yeah, good point, but that article isn't talking about what's in this picture.
Store-bought sandwich bread usually can be kept in the fridge without much change in texture. That’s because it often contains additives and preservatives that keep it fresh longer.
Freezer is my preference. Stays good for very long and keeps the texture and freshness. Put it in toaster or microwave after if in a hurry, otherwise you can just put slices in the fridge so you have unfrozen ones for the breakfast.
I use a bread box and still put the bread in its original bag with the original clip.
Where does “twist and pull back over the loaf” fall? Same as twist and tuck essentially?
Its really just the best method no need for some stupid ass bottle cap. But it seals it just as well.
I think in my entire life I've only ever seen one or maybe 2 bread boxes.
10th option: eat the entire loaf in one sitting.
No slip knot?
I tie a slip knot. That is stupidly easy to do/undo, but apparently I am hated for it.
Where's the "four slices per freezer bag and keep in the freezer" option? Or am I just too good for this chart?
