run out of clippies to close bags?

USE BOTTLE TOPS to seal a plastic bag or bread wrapper

WHAT A GREAT IDEA. NO MORE TWIST TIES OR RUBBER BANDS. This method is WATER PROOF AND AIR TIGHT. GREAT!

Cut off the neck of a disposable water bottle and throw the main part of bottle in recycle. Keep screw-on cap.

Insert the plastic bag up through the neck and screw the top over plastic edges to seal.

The bag is made to be air-tight, such that water will not leak, the secret lies with the top and screw cap!

Good for us and the environment too.

I think the DUmmie read that tip online. It doesn't seem very practical for something that gets used a lot. I just save old twist ties and use them.

This is the dumbest idea I've ever heard.  Good for the environment?  How, DUmmie?   

First you have to saw through the plastic with a bread knife or something, guaranteeing a gaping cut when the knife slips on the slick plastic.  You have two parts to keep track of now, and plus you have to thread the bread wrapper through that little hole.  Impossible if you're in a big rush.  Just goofy.
