    Still exists in cardboard form, not entirely sure why people wouldn’t know what this is at basically any age, unless they buy no bread products?

      Here in the UK, I don’t think I’ve seen one of those in use for more than 20 years. Maybe it is still in use elsewhere?

        I don’t think i’ve seen one. Even loaves from bakers 20 years ago were sealed using that little machine with strips of red sticky tape.

          I have a clear memory from the 80s for sure where these were routinely used on pre-sliced bread loaves. I’m sure I have seen them since the 80s. But they became much rarer for certain.
