Why would I need to have unattractive writing on a bread bin

[Mydogisagentleman]

I really dislike labels and patterns on clothes and accessories.
I am in the middle of planning my kitchen and we are going to paint it next weekend.
The the place where I work got a new bread bin and I really want the same.
I went to the range and they don’t have blue or white.
I’ve checked out eBay and Amazon and all the ones I like have bread written on the side.
Essentially AIBU to want a plain metal bread bin

Yes.

If you get one with a lift up lid instead of a rolling front one, you could just turn it round so the lettering isn't visible.

I spent ages looking for a bread bin that didn't say bread on to keep the cat food pouches in

Why DO they write bread on it, it's obvious its a bread bin. You don't have a bath with the lettering bath on the sides do you? Arghhhhhh

I feel your pain. It is quite limiting when you don't want to have half the containers on your counter to have what they contain in large goofy font proclaiming that they contain 'bread', 'tea', 'sugar' just in case you forget...

Only thing I can say is keep looking and try and keep an open mind on what may work.

I have a plain Nigella breadbin (I think the whole range is discontinued though). For years it had crisps in it whilst the bread lived in a cupboard.

I'm sure the cats wouldn't mind. They can't read after all!

There are lots of plain ones on Amazon though.

I have a plain metal bread bin, it’s a brabantia one.

I got a plain metal one from Asda a year ago. It was cream.

I have a plain breadbin (hurrah).
However my mum gave it me...so I have no idea where it's from!

YANBU. I feel the same and it took me ages to find a suitable bread bin. Eventually got one from T K Maxx.

Wayfair have a good number too.

I can't stand containers which tell you what you're supposed to put in them. I never buy them. We have a roll front Morphy Richards bread bin. I can tell it's a bread bin even though it doesn't tell me it is.

I've voted YABU because I've just searched for 'bread bin' on the Argos website. 16 bread bins, only three of which say 'bread' on them.

Your problem does not exist.

Except some people do buy those letters/signs/wall stickers so some folk do need to be told.

Must be worried that people might forget where the bread goes

How on earth will you know where your bread is? If nothing is labelled, you might find yourself stuffing bread into the tea tin and rummaging for teabags in the biscuit tin. Very confusing.

I got one from Asda, plain cream but it was made of China not metal, with a wooden lid. About a year ago so may not have them now. Try John Lewis?

I have Orla Kiely retro range . I love them and no labels

YABU and dramatic.

Of the first 20 bread bins to come up on a simple amazon search only 2 of them say Bread on them.

So 10%. Get a grip love

Got a lovely one in TKMax

If Argos isn't posh enough for you, OP, John Lewis also have 16 bread bins in stock, and only two of them have 'bread' written on them.

Did you actually look for an unscripted bread bin before you started the thread?

It's so irritating when you find a lovely storage container set, but it's got 'tea' etc on it. Sometimes they even helpfully put it on both sides
