    Dont lick your finger, the veggies get sprayed with water. Wet your finger with the clean water and the bag will open for you. Just like everything else in this life: Its better when its wetter.

          A duvet that hasn’t been fully dried is miserable to sleep in.

            Dear god. I’m going to have a nightmare about that tonight I think. Just the weird awkward weight…the odd humidity nearby…the impending thought of mildew…

              It’s the weird damp sensation when you lay it over you that does it for me. Makes my skin crawl thinking about it.

      You can also just breath onto the bag too. Just enough to get the condensation to lightly form and it does the same thing. Although I also just grab a drop of water that’s on the produce container where it sprays sometimes.

      I just don’t put them in bags until checkout… Not sure if the cashier hates me or not.

    I put the bag between my palms and rub back and forth a bunch of times. It works as long as you have both hands free (and you have two hands).

      I usually wet the tip and rub it over and over until it comes.

      Usually get some looks at the store but it works 100% of the time.

        Even better. You can hold your fruit in the third hand while rubbing the bag with your other two.

    Theres no reason to put most produce in bags. I don’t know why people are obsessed with plastic. People even put bananas in bags… Theyre already bagged!

      I just don’t want anything touching the cart surface, I doubt they sanitize those regularly

        There is no part of the growing, harvesting, cargo packing, transportation, or store stocking process that’s making your produce too pristine to be soiled by a cart. A ride in a bag a couple miles to your house isn’t going to sanitize it either.

    That’s easy. Just flip it, then flip it over again, just like a USB plug.

    Most of the produce bags here have handles. I found that the meeting place where the “handle” meets the “bag” to be the easiest spot to separate. I just rub the bag between my fingers in that area and usually it only takes a single rub for it to separate.

    just remember which side is the opening, or you’ll accidentally tear the wrong side

    Just stretch the bag carefully a bit on opening. Works every time! Simple.
