So true. Sometimes, I just wrap things in two bags and hope for the best.

I love reusable bags. I remember when the ziplock first had one strip and it sucks. It never stayed closed. When they came out with two strips to keep they were thinking. I reused many bags and containers instead of buying tuffaware, canning bottles, and so on. I am not a recyle junky but why spend more money on things when you have already, lol, they might not be the standard brands, but they are good enough.

  For me the resealable bags don’t love me back and the rascals enjoy frustrating me.

Do I not know Carl D or do I not know that they have recently invented a new zip lock bag made of paper called sartire

I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything in one of those bags. Maybe the closest is parmesan cheese in a resealable bag – but it just sticks together, it isn’t ziplocked

I try to open…then can’t. Then, I use a knife.
Then, I throw away the e-z open bag, and rewrapt in saran wrap or old bread bags.
grrrr.

I am gratified to be among you. Those plastic bags are impossible. I try to reseal from the right, then the left, finally the middle. Lunch meat shouldn’t be a political struggle.

  Will you join the Underground? We want to start a news paper. Vox Populus or the Liberator. Perhaps you will recruit family members for distribution to your surrounding villages. We have 24 horses. The enemy says I am full of baloney. I intend to make them eat their sandwich.

Trying to re-seal those lunch meat bags with slimy, ham-hands is nearly impossible. Plus, when I’m hungry I don’t have the patience to mess around with such nonsense.

I really hate it when I’m packing slices of salmon and try to seal the bag with slimy hands. I’ve learned to pile them up open. Then I clean my hands and go back to fight with the seals. Blessings to you, Carl…

Finally, someone has been brave enough to bring this scandal to light. The American people have been duped long enough. We have stood for lies from previous administrations and for demogogary around the world. But this is too much. I see demonstrations in my future. Where the hell did I hide my 60s armband? And a major announcement: I am now getting your posts!!!

The glue is a good idea unless you sniff it in preparation or after in continued use. Watch out if the food touches it.
Step up to the ones that have little zippers they are more expensive and the little zippers fall off. You can keep the same frustration level at a more expensive price.

You spark my imagination. Going to make a fortune on resealable glue – It will hold things together but you can always open and then re-seal. Beautiful.

I’ve seen people from THE BUREAU – Taking the mantra from the FBI – The Consumer Protection Bureau! If you make a complaint, they will be tearing up the baggie factories!

  And the Consumer Protection Agency does nothing to protect us. It is an outrage, I say. I use empty bread plastic bags with ties instead. I also have a complete set of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” margarine containers that I use instead of that outrageously expensive Tupperware. Hey it’s a war out there and Publix is in collusion.
