Eight twists to the right, separate the ends, then twist those to the left 5 times. Keeps the MIL out of the bread.

Humanoid 2.0 would report you to the Mods over there.

Anything except throwing the twist ties away and folding the bag over is gay.

Machines put them on wrong and don't honor righty tighty.
I don't reuse them though, bags get binder clips at home and cords get Velcro straps.

I keep several of them in a kitchen draw and when I get something with a twisty on it, I throw away the twist tie and put the "horse collar" on.
