Good advice if all you eat is Wonderbread. Refrigeration, plastic and
pre sliced are the enemies of good bread. It should be stored in a
box with a small amount of ventilation. The ventilation inhibits mold
and restricting the ventilation reduces the drying process.

If you live in very high or very low humidity then unfortunately there
is not much to be done, except eat it quickly.
