Assuming bread boxes are suppose to keep your bread fresher longer - How does it keep mold & staleness from happening to your bread? What's the idea behind the bread box? I don't understand the concept.

I remember bread boxes from when I was a kid. In those days, a refrigerator was such a small thing that no one thought to keep bread in it; there wasn't room. A bread box worked pretty well as long as you kept the bag tight. It is dark and dry and keeps the bugs off, which was all we thought about. The bread got eaten up fast enough that stale was not the issue; stale bread was good for french toast on Sunday morning, anyway.

Do Bread Boxes Work

Less air= less mold exposed to the bread. It's the same reason many foods are vacuum packed.

yes, they work because they help insects that are tee tiny from getting inside of your bread bag. & messing up all the bread =]

I have absolutely NO IDEA how or why they work, but they do. Maybe it has something to do with keeping them in a dark, dry place at the best temperature...

the lack of light inhibits the mold growth, that's why the fridge works too (no light)

...hmmm...maybe your bread isn't in a draft? (therefore doesn't go stale as quickly)
