    The struggle is real.

    …the easiest way to open these IME, is to lightly lick your thumb and the neighboring finger. This makes the respective sides of the bag stick to them for easier opening.

        You are a jerk.

        Also, I don’t touch produce. When I deal with these plastic bags, I am using them to line my thermal bag, to carry home my hot meal of fried or glazed chicken. This is because the carrying pouch the store puts the chicken into has air holes - which means that my thermal bag would get dirty.

      When masks were mandatory, I couldn’t do this and tried for over a minute to open the damn bag.

      I found that if I start with the cold vegetable, I could use their moisture to wet my fingers.
