Glad Fold Top Food Storage Sandwich Bags, 180 Count

We've used the Glad sandwich bags when our kids were younger and know received them to be review for the Walmart Spark Reviewer program. This time around we're not using the bags for the kids but for myself to put my protein powder, nuts, fruits and so on that pertain to snacks and nutrition during my training to keep separated and contain. I also use it to put hair ties, bands and underwear in my swim bag so as these don't get lost and wet in my bag. They work pretty good and just use tiny braid rubberbands to secure them. They're durable and handy and easy to use. I say it has many uses besides storage for a sandwich. My best use for them is for my protein powder to mix with water in a bottle so what I do is just pour right amount to use and just snip corner to pour in bottle to mix without hassle and avoiding spills. I say they're pretty handy!

I received my 180-count Glad Toy Story Pinch & Seal Zipper Snack Bags as a free sample, and an instant surge of nostalgia hit, reminded of the days of elementary school and toting lunch. It's also been that long since I used a Fold-Top bag instead of the zipper-type, and I realized why I missed them. The Fold-Top, along with a footed bottom that allows the bag to stand upright, gives the bag a roominess that the zip-tight bags lack. Have you ever put a sandwich or something else into one of those zip-tight bags and then smush it once sealed? Even when using as a snackbag, standing upright, the Fold-Top wants to stay open unlike the zippered types that want to snap shut. Like everything in life there's trade-offs. The Fold-Top is roomier and more convenient than the zipper-type, but you don't get that air-tight seal and can't store any liquids in them. Nonetheless, a sandwich in the fridge for six-or-so hours stayed as fresh as when made, as were the potato chips filling another bag. These Glad bags are more pliable than the dollar-store cheapos, and sturdy to be easily reusable. The more I think about it, the more I realize I prefer the Fold-Top to the zipper-type bags. They are just simpler to use.
