People are so privileged and they don’t even know it. Every place I have lived I have had to catch mice, and we’re not messy with food and don’t leave stuff out. We don’t kill them either. We just can’t afford to live in some new-ass house or apartment, and we’re above median income.
How else to store real bread?
So not just the sandwich/toast bread, that comes in plastic bags, but real bread, with a crust and in plastic wrap it would lose its crust, but without any protection, it dries out.
It’s a delicate balance act, where paper and a bread box seem to work best
I have never in my entire life seen an actual bread box, I thought they were a thing from England or something
My grandma used one. Personally I think the real function was to keep mice from eating your bread, but that hasn’t been a problem for a long time.

Mice are still a thing, dude.

Houses tend to be built tighter so mice can’t get in as easy as it was when we had old drafty log cabins, dude.
Look at this guy, living in a house less than 70 years old.

I think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn’t become spongey
Same, my mom said I should get one when I moved out but we didn’t even have one at home?? 😭
She probably is just afraid you will leave the bag open and then eat moldy bread.
Open bag will just dry out, it’ll get moldy quicker with a sealed bag
Free healthcare.
I’d see myself leaving a bread box open faster than the plastic bag the bread comes in tbh
They’re pretty common here in Sweden, at least in my experience.
My grandma had one. Growing up we just kept our bread & bagels in the microwave.
Gf does this with baked goods. It’s awful for me because I microwave a lot and don’t always remember to put stuff back and it gets stale.
