John Okay, now this is for Californians. This is a tip of the day for Californians. It’s going to be a tip of the day for everybody because of what’s happening with our the ban on plastics.
So, what’s happened here in the Bay Area and it’s just everywhere now. The whole country is going to be stuck with these biodegradable plastic produce bags. So, when you go to the store, I mean, some people if they’re really nuts, they go to the store, they don’t even put it in a bag. They don’t care. They just put it in their pocket. Just take it in. They put it in their pockets and then they put it in their own bag. They brought a bag to the store because they’re really conscientious.
Adam You don’t bring bags to the store? You seem like a bag kind of guy.
John No, why would I bring bags to the store when I can get a double bag nice paper bags that I can use for other purposes?
Adam Okay, I didn’t know you were going to get mad.
John Bring a dirty old bag to the store because these bags are all dirty. These people bring these dirty old bags and they stuff stuff in them.
Adam Dirty old bag! Yeah, gotcha.
John Okay, so the plastic bags they now have in the produce sections of most stores in the Bay Area at least starting, it’s going to be everywhere are these biodegradable plastic bags. And so they biodegrade in the refrigerator, rot in the refrigerator within three days with the fruit or vegetables inside and because the bag is rotting so is the fruit and vegetables. The stuff goes bad instantly.
Adam Don’t you take your fruit out of the bag when you bring it home?
John Well, if I’m going to put it in the refrigerator I’m just going to put a piece of raw raw stuff in the refrigerator with no covering am I going to take it out of the bag and then wrap it in saran wrap? What am I supposed to do?
Adam I don’t know. This is a conundrum.
John No, I use a nice plastic bag and then I put whatever it’s in so I pull the bag, I look and see what’s in the bag there’s some herbs in there, maybe some lettuce maybe some cabbage, who knows. Who knows.
You’re going to have to do the following: buy your own plastic produce bags on a roll from Amazon for 12 bucks, 12 by 16 inch plastic produce bags on a roll, they’re about 12 bucks it’s made with real, the normal plastic that doesn’t rot in the refrigerator and rot the fruit with it and you buy a roll, it’s 350 bags a roll, it’s 12 bucks, it turns out so I bought one, I’m starting to use it because I got to go to the store, I buy the whatever I buy, a couple tomatoes and I take them out and put them in this bag it’s a disgusting situation but that’s just the way it is and I would recommend buying these plastic produce bags on a roll. That’s your tip.
Everyone, believe me, you’re going to need this. You’re going to need them.
Adam You’re going to need them. Stock up now while stocks last!
