Bread Ties

Every so often the principal puts things in our mailbox at school that really have nothing to do with teaching. Basically she gets forwards in her e-mail and then prints it out and gives it to each of the teachers.

I found the one she gave to us on Friday quite interesting. It is about bread ties:

"When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you 'squeeze' for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores fives days a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie:

Monday=Blue

Tuesday=Green

Thursday=Red

Friday=White

Saturday=Yellow

The colors go alphabetically by color. So if today was Thursday, you would want a red twist tie; not white (which is Friday) because the bread is almost a week old!"

So now I plan to really see if the bread ties are in fact different colors. I get to test this idea tomorrow at the store after school. We shall see.
