The dirty secret about the plastic bags are that they are designed to disintegrate in a lot of cases. The UV rays turn them to dust rather fast. I have tested a few when they came out. Took about a month.

Coming home today, I had to pick up groceries in a downpour. All my stuff made it to the car intact except the 7UP box was done by the time I got the tailgate window up. Had to spoon a few cans from the lot before I could put the window down. I remember paper bags not being so generous in the rain as well.

‘________The UV rays turn them to dust_______.’

In an earlier posting, I was going to suggest I think I’ve noticed one store’s plastic bag “not holding up,” that I was suspicious the bag was intentionally disintegrating.

That would be the bag from the ‘99Cent Store.’
Fine with me. I just make a note not to use these bags for long-term storage.

Of course, anything could change at any time - - -
