I bet we have all used the big grey recycled and recyclable bags that we are offered at the Co-op registers. My tofu-making friend had one years ago that he would actually get stickers from the cashiers to stick on the little squares to show how many times he used the bag. His bag was almost fully stickered, tattered and taped.
The other day I decided to read my bag, which I had never done. I usually read every label that comes my way, ever since I was a kid practicing reading on cereal boxes.
The grey bag is GREAT reading. Read it.
Really. Every word. Don't skim. It is charming, informative and funny. My biggest surprise treat was finding out where they are made! I am definitely not giving that fact away here. Happily they still offer the bags at the register and I bet many of you have some at home, so you have a chance to find out all there is to learn on those bags.
I wonder if they still have the stickers.
