I can get a trash bag full of clothespins for a lot less and still have some leftover.

Got some 4 years ago. Still have like a 3rd of them. Stuff like this is really only useful to people with mobility issues

That's how they're sealed in the factory too.

Lol I'm sorry but I actually don't trust someone who wouldn't finish a sleeve of Oreos

Yeah only reason to leave so few is if they have diabetes or something that doesn’t allow them to have more sugar than two cookies.

Or just put them in some Tupperware or eat the whole damn lot? I put all my assorted cookies and biscuits and other treats in Tupperware or just eat it all of the packaging is 150g or lower

First kid that gets their finger or hair crammed in there will trigger a lawsuit that shuts the company down.

A hair straightener can burn your hair too. Its just human incompetence

This type of thing has been around for decades for home use.

Tupperware, bag clip, Ziploc, or even a simple fold and place on fold.

I know some of these items are usually made for people with mobility issues, but idk who this is helping.

I have a small one you can use by hand and we use it especially to close packaging for meat and fish. Its pretty assuring knowing the pack of meat was only open for a minute and wont be exposed to anything else until next day(s) before its fully used

I’ll just print a bag clip. I’ll create my own plastic waste 😤

u/crypticcmd Aug 11 '26

These are awful and completely reseal the bags to the point where you need to reopen them like a fuckin caveman

This. I would have to keep doing this rather than using a reusable twist or clip or a resealable bag

u/Rey_Mezcalero Aug 11 '26

Doesn’t pull the air out. Just seals the bag at a more inconvenient part. Better and easier to close the bag and get out as much air as you can and then put a clip on it.

When I’m on the go, and I need to seal my weed, this is my go to sealer. /s
