Easy Mode. Try having a dog lead around your wrist while opening a biodegradable poo bag that got wet in drizzle…
I get the bag ready while she’s dropping the duece.
I remember back at the height of the pandemic, I saw this lady licking her finger so she can open those plastic bags, then proceeded to touch multiple vegetables and fruits.
Of course people touch those all the time. Maybe they sneezed before entering the store etc. Always wash the things you consum before because you never know.
And with the bag you just breath on your findertips and then you have some grip. And the you, of course, proceed to touch every vegetable and fruit you can lay your filthy fingers on.
Oh for sure, I know people with more filthy hands probably touched the produce, and I do wash them when I get home. I was just sharing something I remember at a time where spreading bodily fluids was an extra concerning thing.
And no, I personally do not touch the produce. I open the plastic bag just with my hands, invert it to wrap around my hand, and grab the produce with it. So my hands never directly touch them.
Place the top of the bag between your palms, then think about your evil plan while sliding your hands against each other till they open, if not, try it on the bottom of the bag.
Lick your fingertips, or wet them on a beverage from the cooler, then rub them against the 2 sheets of the opening. You’re welcome.
Don’t lick your fingers. Unless you just washed your hands. This is how you get sick.
Touch your fingers on a damp/wet vegetables instead.
Who tf is downvoting this, GUYS OMG PLEASE DONT LICK YOUR FUCKING FINGERS
yet another reason why paper veggie bags are better, trivially easy to open.
I’ve never understood the point of these bags. I have no problem just not using them?
-
Loose small produce like beans or cherries - keeps them all together.
-
Moistened produce like kale or cilantro - keeps everything else in the bag from getting wet.
-
Produce with flaky detritus like onions or garlic - keeps pieces of peel from getting everywhere.
-
Raw meat prone to leakage - keeps other items in the bag from being exposed to potential pathogens.
They sell reusable mesh bags to help with the first scenario, but they aren’t really helpful for the other 3. I also try to be mindful of not buying more reusable bags I don’t need because most of those end up in landfills long before the 100/200/500/20,000 uses needed to offset the number of plastic bags you’d use otherwise.
Paper bags would help for the first and third scenarios as well, but not the other two. And single-use paper is nearly as bad.

Babies’ diapers leak and the carts are almost never cleaned.
I don’t want the stuff I buy to touch the shopping cart or the conveyor also it is easier to separate them from other stuff in the fridge when you get back home
Do you have any idea how many boxes, crates, hands and other surfaces the produce has already touched? Its also just sitting in the open at the store for people to touch, sneeze on, drop on the floor. The carts and the conveyor won’t make it any worse and you should be washing all produce before eating it anyway.
Yeah I am aware of all of that, and I wash the stuff always. Even if the bag gets me no benefits it still makes me feel more at ease.
Future generations hate you
I’m hooked on a feelin’
I’m high on believin’

All that stuff was in dirt not long ago it’ll be fine without one
Dirt AND shit!
Protip: lick the end of the bag, so the plastic sticks to your fingers
My personal lifehack is to hold the side that opens between my lips and blow, that loosens them up pretty reliably.
And if you’re lucky it makes a farting noise, so I consider that a bonus.
find the grocery store vegetable rain forest get those little soldiers moist

I just eat the bag, its easier, free and delicious with the added benefit of supplying my daily microplastic demand
And I will not stop until my testicles can be used as ping pong balls!
My fingers naturally can open them dry, no need for licking.
OOOh FANCY PANTS RICH MCGEE OVER HERE.
Fancy pants? More like greasy hands!
I can wadh my hand for 2 minutes thoroughly, and will still open a bag with no issues
Even prorer tip: pull the handles gently apart from each other, the pulling will make the plastic to come apart and then you can grab the edges and open it.
This works in finnish supermarkets, dunno if the bags are the same over there.
Nice tshirt.
Learn to moisturise goddamnit
