That\u2019s the part that actually houses the wire. The wire of a twisty-tie is like the spine of a human being. This twisty-tie has a double spine, which is why it holds its shape so impeccably in whichever way I bend it. See how beautifully it spirals around my finger. I found it in the drawer just now in this exact shape \u2013 just the way I left it there about six months ago. Unfortunately I can\u2019t remember what product it came off of. If I could, I\u2019d probably go buy more of it.<\/p>\n<p>You may at first think I am a sick woman, and you may be right, but there IS an upside to it.
