Do people under 40 not buying bread?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They just download it from the cloud nowadays

[–] Mr_Fish 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You wouldn't download a loaf

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I totally would

[–] alquicksilver 1 points 10 months ago

Soggy bread sounds terrible. Do they at least keep it in a bread box in the cloud?

[–] indomara 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This, is an occlupanid. To read further about the fascinating research on these, see the "Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group" (HORG) website. https://www.horg.com/horg/

Risky click of the day, but darn interesting!

[–] indomara 2 points 10 months ago

Aren't humans great sometimes? :)

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait, there's not just one kind?

[–] indomara 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Indeed not! Australia has some interesting ones not yet classified, if you come across an occlupanid in your daily life that has not yet been classified and catalogued, you can contact HORG and send them in. :)

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 10 months ago

Mind blown.

[–] alquicksilver 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ridiculous. I'm only 35 and I can tell that this is obviously a Starburst with a hole punched out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

If you were over 40, you'd call them opal fruits!

[–] Vinny_93 10 points 10 months ago

Still widely used in the Netherlands so everyone here knows.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] ohlaph 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That's what I was thinking. I lost one to my bagels last week.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I’m sorry.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Yeah that’s ammo (specifically 2 rounds) in the endless war to hit \ with a covert flick of the finger from across the room!

[–] RisingSwell 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Still exists in cardboard form, not entirely sure why people wouldn't know what this is at basically any age, unless they buy no bread products?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

All the cool kids are doing keto and eating gluten free now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Here in the UK, I don't think I've seen one of those in use for more than 20 years. Maybe it is still in use elsewhere?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I don't think i've seen one. Even loaves from bakers 20 years ago were sealed using that little machine with strips of red sticky tape.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I have a clear memory from the 80s for sure where these were routinely used on pre-sliced bread loaves. I'm sure I have seen them since the 80s. But they became much rarer for certain.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do people under 40 just not buy bread in your world?

[–] RedIce25 4 points 10 months ago

At first I thought of course everybody knows, but the longer I was thinking: I haven't seen one in a long time

[–] Rincewindnz 4 points 10 months ago

These are an essential piece of beach/holiday gear to fix your jandals(flipflops or thongs in Australia)with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Yes, but how many knows that you can break them in half so that the opening is split in two. Then sort of wedge it onto your finger and shoot them at unsuspecting siblings?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

under 30 maybe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I know what it is, but I have no idea what it's called. Like, if I had to order them from the factory, I'd probably get the wrong ones.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

What is that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

TIL these aren't used anymore some places. These are on every bag of buns at all the stores near me.
