Just gotta get this off my chest:

Went grocery shopping yesterday and bought a couple loaves of bread. Now I grew up in a world of "lefty loosey, righty tighty"...so why in the Good Lord's name would all the bread companies install twist-ties spun counter clockwise? It took me half an hour to get to the bread just so I could make a sandwich! UFF DA!

They were meant to be sold south of the Equator

Billy, I've been wondering the same thing myself. I've also several times lately that the plastic sack was upside down when the loaf was inserted, or maybe just 90°, but definately not right side up. Whatever happened to quaility control?

Its a conspiracy. They're just trying to confuse the Norwegians. And its working. ;>)

It's pretty easy to throw us Scandenavians for a loop I guess. I almost asked the dog to give me a hand with it...though I am sure he would have just gone right through the bag!

just do what I did in 1962 marry a left handed red head and get used to every thing being backwards

Speak for yourself. It might be easy to confuse a Norwegian,but you have to get up pretty early in the morning to confuse us Swedes. Now what the heck were we talking about?

I only buy standard loafs stay away from the metric ones.

Just make some homemade Swedish Rye Bread. Don't need a bag around here. It's gone before that is needed.

Try holding the twist tie and flippimg the loaf- it'll come off the right way--
