How to buy the freshest bread

I read this earlier today and found it kinda cool:

Bread is delivered fresh to stores 5 times a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and each day represents a different colour.

Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow

The twisty ties and/or the plastic ties all follow that color scheme, so if you go to the store on a Monday, buy bread that has a Blue tie on it, or on a Tuesday, a green tag on it, etc.

I just wonder if nobody bought the bread the past week, do they get rid of it or replace it with fresh bread?

Why not check the expiration date? Unless you are talking about store made bread, but usually those have exp. dates too.

Your avatar just fucked my eyes right up.

According to snopes, this is true, kinda. Bread manufacturers do use color coding systems, but their systems are not all the same. Also, the system is there so that stores can easily identify the older bread to remove it from shelves. They don't keep bread on the selves for more than a couple of days.

I just squeeze it, if it feels hard I don't buy it, if its nice and soft its all mine.

(Yes, I know how gay that sounds.)

store bought bread is getting more and more expensive which i find ridiculous.. i make all the bread i eat, which is good since i can put just about anything i want in it! and it isnt difficult either.

That completely excludes the sense of sight. What if persay the bread was covered in Mold?

that just makes it taste even better...

eww that has happened to me before. also the main reason i stopped eating store bough bread.

My mom bought a wheat grinder a month or two ago, and all we have to do is buy wheat that hasn't been rid of it's fibery skin to make completely healthy bread at my house. And even home-made bread with just normal wheat store bought tastes phenominal.

definately. every now and then i throw extra things in my bread like cheese and bacon, herbs or anything i feel like.. definately alot cheaper and healthier than storebought

I've worked at couple grocery stores while in highschool and my first year of college, and I can attest that the stores themselves do not follow these procedures. Perhaps vendor placed bread does, but at the ones I've worked at (which rated fairly highly in their various company's rankings) we didn't use tags. We used dates.
