I ran to the store and picked up a box of ziploc bags because really, how can you get through the day without zipping something in? Food? Snacks? Books for the pool? Legos?

When I reached in the the box I realized that the box was filled with "food storage bags." "What's the problem," you wonder.

No zips! No little ridgies at the tops. These odd throwbacks were just bags with twist ties! Who would buy those? Why do they still make these? What kind of cruel joke was it to put them where I would accidentally grab them while dazedly drifting through the aisles of the grocery store? I pinched and zipped and slid and nothing. I could poke an eye out with those twist ties. I could get a very nasty cramp in my fingers trying to wriggle them tightly around the bag.

Be careful. This could happen to you. I'm just sayin'....

twist ties???....
