Melbourne<\/i>: Bread is sold in plastic bags with a nifty plastic clip that holds the twisted bag closed.<\/p>\n
London<\/i>: Bread is sold in plastic or foil bags but the “twist retention device” holding the bag closed is tape. Not just sticky-tape because that would almost always be a single-use design. This tape isn’t sticky in the middle, where it wraps around the packaging and it’s not sticky right at the ends, where you open it with your fingernails.<\/p>\n
I’m still trying to decide which is a better system. I’m veering towards the Aussie method for two reasons: <\/p>\n
1. You can collect those little plastic clips (Don’t think I’m crazy, I’ve seen people’s collections!). <\/p>\n
2. The plastic clips are quicker to install and remove.<\/p>\n
In London’s favour, the tape doesn’t fatally wound the plastic\/foil packaging if the operator is a overzealous during bag opening\/closing.<\/p>\n
