Not so Hefty

I would just like to take this moment to express my frustration with a certain garbage bag. You know the one, the one that is made specifically to be strong and not tear. The commercial says it will hold up against pizza boxes and even shows elephants walking through unable to rip this bag. But guess what. It rips more easily than any other bag I've used. I've never had a problem with bags ripping but thought I'd get these just to try them out. Nearly every one broke in some way. I thought maybe I had a fluke bag, but nope. Every time I get these bags they rip extremely easily! I'd like to know how these bags got past the testing room.

I can tell you're in the middle of major spring cleaning! Vacuum cleaners and garbage bags! What would we do without them?

I would write a letter immediately to the company and get some reimbursement! They may end up sending you coupons for more of their defective bags, though... something to think about,

Thanks for the heads up! I've always wondered if they work as good as they say... but I usually end up buying the store brand!

Definitely write the company for a refund or credit.

We tried the no-name garbage bags recently and it made a very entertaining mess of all of our garbage. Are you going to write a letter to the company?

I recently just stopped using the bags I had been using for years. I picked up the Walmart brand to test and they work better than the other ones I had been using. (They are the opposite of mad) :D
