9 Of Reddit’s Wildest Food Conversations – Daily Meal

Yes, you read that right: this is a popular subreddit about bread that has been stapled to trees. That's it. That's the sub. This thriving community of bread stapled to tree enthusiasts runs about 318,000 deep. According to Bon Appetit, it was started by two friends back in 2017 as a joke, but has taken off ever since. Users come to r/BreadStapledtoTrees to share images oftoasted white bread stapled to an ash tree, a marbled rye stapled to a palm tree, and even a sourdough starter stapled to a tree. There's something weirdly wholesome and calming about the thread. Redditors seem to understand and even celebrate the silliness of this tradition, while still respecting the strict rules.

Yes, there are rules. Lots of them, in fact. For starters, the founders of the thread spoke to tree conservationists who confirmed that staples won't hurt mature trees. But the group does have a strict no young trees, bonsai, or cactus policy (via Bon Appetit.) There is also a list of approved breads, which is quite extensive and ecompasses everything from Pop Tarts, taco shells, and more typical types of bread. So if you're inspired, why not grab some challah, matzah, or even some gingerbread menalong with a stapler and join in on the fun?
