Risky click of the day, but darn interesting!
indomara@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Aren’t humans great sometimes? :)
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Wait, there’s not just one kind?
indomara@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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. :)

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

If you were over 40, you'd call them opal fruits!
Vinny_93@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Still widely used in the Netherlands so everyone here knows.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 11 months ago
They still use these???
ohlaph@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s what I was thinking. I lost one to my bagels last week.

I’m sorry.

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

Do people under 40 just not buy bread in your world?
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 11 months ago
Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 11 months ago
Have my updoot instead.
RisingSwell@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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?
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 11 months ago
All the cool kids are doing keto and eating gluten free now
r00ty@kbin.life 11 months ago
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?
Daeraxa@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
I don’t think i’ve seen one. Even loaves from bakers 20 years ago were sealed using that little machine with strips red sticky tape.
RedIce25@lemmy.world 11 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@lemmy.world 11 months ago
These are an essential piece of beach/holiday gear to fix your jandals(flipflops or thongs in Australia)with.
Halvdan@sopuli.xyz 11 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?
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
under 30 maybe
chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
TIL these aren’t used anymore some places. These are on every bag of buns at my local stores.
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 11 months ago
These are on every bag of buns at all the stores near me.

jesus i feel old…
Toes@ani.social 11 months ago
What is that?
bstix@feddit.dk 11 months ago
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.
skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 11 months ago
I doubt you’d be able to order the wrong ones. There are basically two companies that produce almost every bread clip in the world (source), so there’s no way you’ll be able to mess up your order. These unlikely duopolies aren’t exactly known for their willingness to do custom runs, or wide product variety…

Do people under 40 not buying bread?
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 11 months ago
They just download it from the cloud nowadays
Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You wouldn’t download a loaf
alquicksilver@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Soggy bread sounds terrible. Do they at least keep it in a bread box in the cloud?
