Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Reversed

I eat sandwiches for lunch at school. This year, I’ve been alternating between ham sandwiches and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I end up buying a loaf of bread almost every weekend, and here is a strange thing: if the bread bag is held closed with a twisty-tie, it is often twisted counter-clockwise. That is, the factory is doing lefty-tighty.

I don’t alwyas buy the same brand of bread, so it doesn’t happen all the time, but my current loaf had the backwards-twisted tie on it. It seems strange to me, since the world is so consistent about the lefty-loosey rule. Maybe there is some precedent in the world of baking that reverses the notion of clock-wise and counter-clockwise?

    Mind. Blown.

    Could it be so that it’s an on/off motion? That is so weird.

    Happy sandwiching! I am amazed that peanut butter is allowed in your school since it’s banned almost everywhere else.
