Twist Tie

/ˈtwɪst ˌtaɪ/noun
ELI5 mode

A short, flexible strip of thin wire encased in colorful plastic, designed to twist around the neck of bags to keep contents fresh and secure. Essential for bread, produce, and snack packaging, it's a low-tech marvel of reusability that's saved countless crumbs from spilling. Crafters and gardeners repurpose them for bundling wires, plants, or even as emergency fixes.
