Talk:Bread clip

message: The *-NRP series clip is obviously not as simple as it could be, so the irregular shape of its edges must have some purpose(s), but there is no mention, much less description of them.  They are almost rotationally & translationally symmetrical.  The edge irregularities could generally make the clip easier to grip, and the translational symmetry could save salvage during the stamping, except that it is not precisely, so why not.  The 'mouth' has an inner pair of 'teeth', that seem unnecessary, but might allow for a wider range of bag neck sizes.  The Manufacturer does not have a descriptive site, but might have some in their catalog that must be ordered.

message: I'd edit the article to say "or bread climp" because that's what everyone I know has always called it but I do not want to get banned? What is going on with the Clip/Climp argument anyway?REGULAR-NORMAL (talk) 20:31, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: "Climp" as a word for fastener is old and regional but it is still widely used in certain regions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. My family still uses it. Its history began in the late 1780s and it was most popular in the late nineteenth century. It definitely belongs in the article. I read the website you linked to but it looks like a comedy message board. I don't see what it has to do with anything. Climp belongs in the article. Please stop editing it out. I've added a source from my library. Wood Thrush (talk) 00:07, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I particularly like the very grainy image of one of these contraptions. It's as if they're very elusive objects that are only rarely sighted or caught on camera. I'm glad the human race now has an encyclopedia that has articles on things like this. — Trilobite (Talk) 06:50, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Unidentified Flying Breadclip

message: Um. Just so you know, we're not all lunatics. Could this possibly be changed so it specifies that the easterners are the crazy ones? Not that I've ever seen a milk bag even through my travels in Ontario, but it would make me feel better knowing at least the occasional American and those of other nationalities understood that we don't all live in igloos and eat baby seal roasted over an open fire with a bag of milk sitting in the ice fridge built into the side of our igloos. P.S. I am Canadian if you couldn't tell. Saskatchewan to be precise.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.254.80 (talk) 02:50, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I do apologize for being unable to cite my source for the Emergent Popular Use section.  I hope someone else can find one.  I certainly know it is true, and put it that anyone born in the 60s or 70s in Western culture will remember this practice to be true.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tlozinski (talk • contribs) 10:56, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've seen them used as guitar picks, when we briefly did guitar stuff in music class in 7th grade. They can also be used to label individual electrical plugs, so you can tell which of the plugs in the power strip is the lamp and which is the scanner....  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.249.207.195 (talk) 17:40, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
