I actually dont hate this. It occupies a corner that would otherwise be empty or cluttered. It looks nice. And bread doesnt care if its on its side or upright.

Ya, I think the whole point the woman is going for is to cover the bread so the counter looks clean. She just wants to save some space.

Also takes up less counter space.

Saves space, still usable. I like it.

Op said it's less usable, because the bread gets caught on the door when you're trying to get it out

can he not store the bread vertically? part of me suspects the person who isn't thrilled about this very smart idea only folds over the plastic under instead of twist tying it shut.

For real bread, not an issue. If you are buying that cheap bunny bread style loafs, it will crush the pieces somewhat and you have misshapen sandwiches or torn bread when you try to stretch it back out.

Same. GF is on to something and deserves an extra hug for thinking outside the breadbox.

I can't hear it from the trashcan.

I like it too, but bread that is on the bottom - will have mold at some point almost guaranteed, that's the problem here. Maybe shelves for different bread inside would be a good idea tho

well it cares about gravity tho, it's just gonna fall out the moment you open it

Its actucually better to put the bread upside down on the Schnittkante to seal it from drying

Right. If it was the butter dish she wanted to store sideways it would be a different matter. But bread doesn't care what orientation it is.
