Got a Eye For Freshness?
Not sure why I notice things like this, but for better or worse have you ever noticed how hot dogs wieners and hot dog buns don't come in equivalent pack numbers (for instance, 8 wieners and 10 buns)? What about the ties on bread colors?
Apparently, bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday). Each day, consequently, has a different color twist tie. They are:
Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow
The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White Yellow, Monday thru Saturday, which is fairly easy to remember. Not sure if this is an industry standard but it is mostly applicable. It'll help you tell, for instance, if it's Tuesday, that you shouldn't buy that week old red tie bread.
