Why do stretchy bread bags turn crinkly after being in the freezer? - eviltoast

So every time we get bread it comes in a stretchy bag. However, once we pull it out of the freezer later the bag is noticeably more crinkly and brittle. Anyone know why this is? I can’t seem to find an answer to this phenomenon anywhere.

      That’s how presliced bread comes in Canada. I’m talking the sandwich loaf stuff. Not nice handmade bread.

        Huh. Ours are either non-stretchy plastic bags or wax paper. You learn something new every day.

          Atlantic Canada. I don’t mean like cling wrap stretchy. It just isn’t like the crinkly kind of plastic. It has some give if you try to stretch it.

            Ok, stretchy isn’t a great word for that because basically all bread bags match what you did mean, though mine don’t tend to get crinkly in the freezer.
