guh. am i misunderstanding what dumpster diving is or are you really going to eat old bread bits other people throw out.... voluntarily?

more like bread products that are thrown out at night when the store closes. example: dunkin donuts throws out all of their leftovers at night, so any uneaten bagels or donuts from the day go into the dumpster. they're perfectly fine.

oh! ok, i totally had a different image in mind.

Yeah, and places usually tie up the stuff airtight (I think they're required to do so) to discourage rats, etc. Never done it myself but it's pretty common practice.

I'd rather befriend the night/closing shift workers and gain free day-olds that way than take a trip through the dumpster and possibly get flashlights in my face and a friendly voice asking me what I'm doing.

And besides, dumpster juice doesn't make bagels taste any better.
