I’m not sure what’s in the bag has anything to do with if you twist before you tuck.

Twisting emulates how the bread seals with a clip. It’s more a habit of some sort, like double tapping the trigger on a drill to see if it has power.

Cuz it can fall apart if moved or slid. Needs to be redone when picked up.

Who folds without twisting??

(Ok I do sometimes, but I know it’s wrong.)
