I thought I knew my colors but obviously I didn't know them as well as I thought I did---until today. I received a valuable lesson at the grocery store about color-coding, which I thought was worth sharing.
While looking for bread, my grandson quickly noticed that the twists were different colors and he wanted me to explain why. I didn't have an answer but, fortunately, there was an employee standing nearby who was willing to share the information.
He said if you want to know how fresh the bread is in your grocery store, look at the tie that is holding the wrapper closed. Bread is delivered five days a week, Monday Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and the bread maker puts a different colored tie on to designate which day of the week the bread was baked:
Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow
So, if you go to the grocery store on a Saturday, you should look for bread with the yellow twist or even the white twist since that was just delivered the day before. On the other hand, if you arbitrarily pick up bread with a blue twist on a Saturday, you can bet that bread has been sitting on the shelf for at least five days.
And to think, I've been color blind all these years.

I actually learned that earlier this year for the first time and was amazed because I didn't believe it at first. Good to have a freshness gauge, isn't it?
Mitch,
Why didn't you blog about it? LOL! You can bet I am going to be mindful of that knowledge from now on. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
