Do people under 40 not buying bread?

[-] MacNCheezus 42 points 5 months ago

They just download it from the cloud nowadays

[-] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

You wouldn't download a loaf

[-] MacNCheezus 2 points 5 months ago

I totally would

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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

[-] indomara@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago

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/

[-] Usernamealreadyinuse@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Risky click of the day, but darn interesting!

[-] indomara@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Aren't humans great sometimes? :)

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Wait, there's not just one kind?

[-] indomara@lemmy.world 2 points 5 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. :)

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Mind blown.

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

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

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 2 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Still widely used in the Netherlands so everyone here knows.

[-] LodeMike 8 points 5 months ago
[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

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

[-] jayemar@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago
[-] LodeMike 5 points 5 months ago

I’m sorry.

[-] astrsk@kbin.social 7 points 5 months ago

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!

[-] RisingSwell@lemmy.world 5 points 5 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 3 points 5 months ago

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

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 1 points 5 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 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 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 of red sticky tape.

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 1 points 5 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.

[-] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 months ago

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

[-] RedIce25@lemmy.world 4 points 5 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 4 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Halvdan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 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 2 points 5 months ago

under 30 maybe

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 5 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.

[-] Toes@ani.social 1 points 5 months ago

What is that?

[-] chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] MacNCheezus 1 points 5 months ago
