I’ve noticed that every product I’ve bought in the past year with a zip-lock seal is destroyed with common use. I actually think the zip-lock itself has gotten stronger. The bag rips before the seal opens on half the bags now and whenever I try to opens bags I had no issues with before, I find myself stretching/warping the plastic before the seal eventually opens.
It’s pretty frustrating and I am seeing it across many products. Cheese bags, storage bags, snacks etc…
Ziploc, the OG name brand, seems about the same as ever. The trouble is in thousands of knockoffs for niche uses. They haven’t benefited from decades of tweaking the design to be strong enough, but not too strong, and easy to get back together.
Legal weed bags are the worst.
On the bright side, think about all the plastic pollution that happens because the government won’t let me take my own glass jar to the weed store!
Wait that sucks actually
The weed bags are the worst. And it’s usually because the zipper is so damn strong, the bag breaks instead of opening.
I disagree. The problem described by OP is one that I have with Ziplok brand primarily.
What state are you in?
