Modern wired closures defeated by time-honored method


Tired of having to spend double-dextrous moments fooling with those little plastic and wire strips that come with your airtight plastic-wrapped bread loaves from the grocery?
This is not our original idea but greatly simplifies the operation of re-closing the package after extracting, say, a piece of bread. Just spin-wind the plastic wrapper a few times with a push of momentum and then close the package with a pinch clothespin.
This time-saving method also works with such food wrappers as those nasty quarter-pack quantities of saltines, bags of cookies, anything requiring fumbling with &%#@!! twisties requiring two hands to secure the tops of food packages. Raid your clothespin bag, if you have one.
Old-fashioned spring-powered clothespins put it together for me, for I much prefer to dance rather than fumble through the kitchen, where I have other fish to fry, dishes to wash, &C..........
