TRUTH !!
Bread is delivered fresh to stores five days a week; Monday's ties are blue; Tuesday is green, Thursday is red, Friday is white, and Saturday is yellow..... Note that the colors go alphabetically, from b-g-r-w-y. Very easy to remember..So, Don't buy a white tied loaf on a Thursday, as that loaf will be almost a week old.
But this is not done to help you get the freshest loaf; most days you will only see three colors on the shelf.... the tool is for the clerk who must pull the older loaves.

Wow. I had to go looking in the weeds for this one, lt.
I wasn't online after around noon yesterday, so I didn't see it.
Where did everyone else go? Cowards, All! LOL!

#2 - okay. I can even remember all the times I've been on that thing! But it was about 28 years ago the last time. Fond memories.
#3 - only got 3 correct.
#5 - nope. I thought it was 21. Maybe that was Baskin Robbins?
#7 - okay.

Thanks, lt.
