boomers desperately clinging to relevanceThat is my least favourite meme, the "nobody this age will know this this" style. As if people only know about shit that I happened when they were alive. It's fucking insulting.
I knew about the milk bags (I grew up with them too), but how is it physically possible to re-close one with a bread tag? Doesn't the weight of the fluid make it flop over, push the tag off, and make you cry over the spilled milk all over the place?
I feel we're approaching the horizon of "There has to be a better way!" TV ads.
Cyber-BreadWhat bread doesn't use those plastic tags? Do I have analog bread and I didn't know? Am in bread beta?
Also my spouse never puts them back on the bread bag and it's weird. Where else would it go? Just put it back!
My bread brand brought twist ties to bear, recently. They used to do tags, but a few months ago they traded for paper-covered wire ties (as opposed to the plastic-covered kind) and I find them much more useful, since I can then repurpose them for use around the house.What bread doesn't use those plastic tags?

I will say, bagged milk is super handy when working in a cafe. You go through such a high volume of milk, and it's nice that the empty bags take up very little space. I shudder to think of the number of cartons American cafes go through,and having to break them all down
I buy bread from my farmer's market. Occasionally fresh-ish bread from my supermarket. Neither use bread tags. The former uses like a kind of tape like substance and it sucks because you can't reseal them WITHOUT a bread tag. The supermarket fancy breads from the bakery are in paper bags with a clear stripe where the end of the loaf pops out of the top. But I think they stopped selling those in that fashion since COVID.What bread doesn't use those plastic tags? Do I have analog bread and I didn't know? Am in bread beta?

There's even a tool specifically designed for opening milk bags. It's called a "Snippit".
It's got a hook on the front, if you like to hang it from the milk pitcher that the bag sits in, and a magnet on the back, for keeping it on the fridge.
imo it's not an insult to anybody born after the eve6 guy lost his virginity to assume they can't know why this tweet is so funnyThat is my least favourite meme, the "nobody this age will know this this" style.

I actually worked at a cafeteria on my university campus that used bagged milk, funnily enough it was right near the Canadian border in WA, so maybe we got the milk from Canada.I will say, bagged milk is super handy when working in a cafe.

What makes this meme especially silly is that I have only seen the plastic tags relatively recently. For most of my life, my bread came with those wire ties.My bread brand brought twist ties to bear, recently.

It is insulting, but it's a pretty understandable impulse to discuss how things have changed during the course of our lives to the point where young people today won't have the same experiences we did. This one example was dumb and bad and wrong. But it's amusing to think about how the kids of today on average won't experience say, trying to talk to their crush over a land line in the evening, only to have their parents or siblings eves dropping on them through a different phone elsewhere in the house. As an educator I very routinely have to just stop what I'm saying and then describe something that would be common knowledge to you and me, but is something kids growing up today wouldn't know about unless someone explains it to them. Like, I had to explain to some middle schoolers last year the pause/fast forward/stop symbols on a CD player, the history behind what they meant, what CDs were to begin with, etc. The insulting thing I think is less the mentality and more how you talk about it. Because kids are smart, and they're better at seeking out and researching stuff on their own than any generation was previously. Talking down to today's youth makes you look like the idiot, not the other way around.That is my least favourite meme, the "nobody this age will know this this" style.
