41. 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 five days a week?
Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color
twist
tie.
They are Monday= Blue, Tuesday= Green, Thursday= Red Friday= White and
Saturday= Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist
tie;
not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go
alphabetically
by color Blue- Green - Red - White -Yellow, Monday through Saturday.
Very
easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the
grocery
store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the
ones
with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new
everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on
the
day you are shopping. (A P.S. on this one - I believe they are putting
expiration dates on the tags now.)

Also, soaking feet in brewed tea can keep them from perspiring because of some sort of acid in the tea.
