If you leave bread fully enclosed in plastic, all the moisture from the crumb moves into the crust and makes it soggy. But it doesn’t dry out.
If you leave it just open, it dries out.
That’s why (real) bread is best stored in a paper bag or in an unglazed ceramic bread bin. Those two materials allow for a slow exchange of air, therefore keeping the crust crunchy and the crumb soft.
I dont understand bread bins. How do they not just make the bread stale
They do, you should always use one of the other methods to close up the bag, then put it in the bin

I guess I dont have to think about this for my loaf of bleached supermarket bread
what if i like soggy bread
Not really dripping with water, but it equalises the moisture between crumb and crust.
That’s not a concern for wonderbread, since the crust was never crunchy to begin with.
