Not the individual inventor, but this company[1] invented the twisty in 1939.
Also twistys are color coated on bread, denoting the day of the week it was put out[2].

- glhaynes 14y agoI love that Wednesday's twist tie color is a complete mystery even with the assembled resources of the internet.
- yareally 14y agoI had a good laugh at that as well. I'm wondering now if it was intentional or the person that added it to wiki really did not know.
- rexreed 14y agoAs for why bread is not baked on Wednesdays (Read the comments): http://main.kitchendaily.com/2011/04/07/color-coded-bread-bag-ties/ http://main.kitchendaily.com/2011/04/07/color-coded-bread-ba... "One thing is universal-all bread companies deliver five days a week, with days off being Wednesday and Sunday. Thus, these days have no color coded bread for the deliver driver to remove from the store." Also, it's not universal the color codes (Which can vary from one brand to another), and in some cases, 7 color codes are used because those bread companies deliver 7 days a week: http://www.snopes.com/food/prepare/breadtag.asp http://www.snopes.com/food/prepare/breadtag.asp
