Ok, This may sound like a stupid question but I know I'm not the only one to experience this. You twist that thing off a loaf of bread, set it on the counter or table, make your sandwich and poof ... by the time you are ready to twist it back on it has dissapeared. Where did it go? I don't do drugs, drink or watch Jerry Springer so I think my mind is clear yet I have no explanation for this. Any ideas?

I think they must disintegrate the minute they are touched by our hands. I've literally taken one off, put it down for no more than 2 seconds, went back to get it and it was gone, nowhere to be found. Or maybe, at this very moment there are millions of bread ties, which have been magnetically attracted, stuck to the north pole.......yep, I think that's it, OR.....maybe they are in our sock drawers, where those missing socks should be!

When you take it off throw it in the garbage. Then you'll always know where it is. You don't need it anyway. Take out how many slices you need then squeeze the air out of the loaf twist the open end and fold it under so the weight of the loaf holds it. Make sure you get as much air out as possible without crushing the bread. This will help keep the bread fresher.

LOL-no drug,booze or Jerry Springer. I keep them in a drawer next to the area where I keep my bread. I don't do Jerry Springer either,but I swear-if you start putting bread twist ties into a drawer,they will reproduce on their own.

I'm honestly tempted to believe in the Smivens or any of those other little creatures. It's not just twist ties either... does anyone else put a full pair of socks in the wash and come out with half a pair???!!!

No, I just twist the bag and fold it under the bread. Keeps the air out. Most often the twist tie goes missing anyway.

Because the twist ties have done such a good job getting the bread to you in prime condition they are instantly rewarded when you take them off and go straight to heaven.
It pays to live a useful life :-)

They are made by elves, so are magical and economical. When you take them off, they disappear and reappear back at the company that made them, hence the company saves money. But where, oh where, do all those odd socks go???? Also, umbrellas!!!!! I do however know where all of your missing pens went. My husband takes them...we have so many pens I could go into business if people would buy odd pens. I apologize for him. He says he won't do it anymore since we started going to church.

I throw those little twist ties away, they annoy me lol.
I bought a big bag of clothes line clips 12 years ago and haven't had to buy and since and I use them to close my bread, chip bags ect. It's so much easier that way.

they go to the gods of lost/stolen/misplaced items. like the afore mentioned sock in the dryer. but they are not without mercy. after taking a few socks (from different pairs of course) they give you a towel or washcloth (that doesn't match any one you have

It's the same gremlins who steal socks. They must be hoarding odd socks and bread ties for use in the coming apocalypse.
