Whenever I’m asked “paper or plastic” I always choose Kryptonite. I inform them that Superman might be out in the parking lot thinking that I owe him money.

As my late father would say, “What’s a sick chicken worth? Whatever someone will pay you for it.”

The bag has since been spotted in a Nordstrom pop-up store in Seattle, retailing for $590.

Is that the Nordstrom in Seattle, Venezuela?

Talk about the world’s simplest blackmarket knock-off.

Ever.

Might as well tack on a 90% excise tax. No one will notice.

retailing for $590. (That is approximately $589.95 higher than what a regular plastic bag costs to produce.)

Sounds a bit pricey. But, if/when it goes on a 5% sale for $569.99, I'm sure to stock up and buy dozens.

A few years ago, I was buying something at REI and saw a little plastic ball looking thing. I asked the clerk what it was and she told me it was a reusable bag.

“For 16 bucks?” I asked, incredulously

She told me it was made from recycled plastic then handed me my purchase in a paper bag.

“Paper?”

She went on to nervously explain that they were recycled paper stock.

I then said “trees were nothing but a slow growing crop.” Leaving her speechless.
