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

Actually just got rid of ours. We rarely have fresh bread in the house, we keep toasting bread and rolls in the freezer so it was just taking up valuable worktop space!

Try Dunelm Mill.

Personally I just keep bread in the cupboard.

Lakeland - 13 bread bins, only two say 'bread' on them.

The Range - 10 bread bins, 50/50 between scripted and unscripted.

I love that on a thread about bread bins posters are conducting independent research before posting, but on a thread about something hyperbolic on a public health subject? Nah.

Dunhelm - 58 bread bins, only 20 have 'bread' written on them.

Just choose a different style of bread bin. Or turn it round so the ‘bread’ bit faces the wall? You don’t usually see writing on roll-top ones so shouldn’t be an issue?

I’ve never had a bread bin issue but I am irritated by sets of coffee/tea/sugar tins with writing on (what if we want one for herbal tea not sugar) and sets of tins that are 3 different sizes from small to large, because they’re never the right sizes.

Are there local craft shops whose online presence you can look at and see if they can help? Or wait a few weeks, perhaps couple of months at most until non-essential shops re-open?

I've had something similar to this for a very long time... www.dunelm.com/product/brabantia-roll-top-matt-steel-bread-bin-1000115804?defaultSkuId=20468507&gclid=Cj0KCQiApsiBBhCKARIsAN8o_4gQCuasnbQlhmB6xcEEr5Vb2ulkLorfeTRMpI5xNFJrR_3zs1SuGv8aAlSkEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

So in my sample of 5 well-known homeware shops, 71% of bread bins in stock do not have 'bread' written on them.

A thread complaining that not enough bread bins have 'bread' written on them would be more reasonable.

I'm a rebel and keep the sugar in a "tea" jar

@WeeDangerousSpike

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

What harm does it actually do? I think this is some kind of weird snobbery.

I haven't had a bread bin for 15 years now and don't know anyone who still uses them, I have a drawer for all bread products.

If you really want the work one, can you ask if you can buy a replacement for work and have that one? I bet no one would care.

What about Bread Pro Keeper or maybe Bodum range of bread boxes?

We forgot to empty our bread bin before going on holiday for two weeks. Came home and . Got rid after that and haven't had one since!

Thread title is misleading
Sounded like only attractive writing is good for bread bins.
Sharpies are your friend in this case

(I am assuming it was an office but just seen you have said "the place where I work" - obviously not if you are a nanny or a carer in someone's home!)

Bread bins are a waste of space. Just stick it in the cupboard. Problem solved.

I managed to find biscuit tin to store birdfood with only a B on. B for birds, obviously.

I purchased this one. It comes in different colours

No one is saying it doesn any harm , we're all entitled to have a view on the aesthetics of things we have in our house, how do you get from not wanting writing on your receptacles to being snobby?

Missing the whole point in the thread, I do realise, but my DH keeps insisting bread bins make bread stale and mouldy faster, and so refuses to place the loaf hidden out of view inside the bread bin. Instead, it gets plonked right beside it, on the outside of said bread bin. Sigh.

Are you unreasonable for not wanting a certain type of bread bin? Really?

God almighty.
