Valmond,

Put the opening “line” between your big hands and rub it; both hands goes along the “opening line”, one hand moves one way, the other hand the other way for say some centimetres or an inch or two, change direction, repeat.

SocialMediaRefugee,

Sometimes works, sometimes I’m rubbing away like a boy scout trying to get his fire starter merit badge

If you listen closely you can hear him whisper words of wisdom such as: “I’ve tried both ends five times now!”, “I think this one must be defective!”, or my personal favorite “I don’t think these are the same brand they had out last week!”

Damn… I thought I was the only one that noticed they switched the plastic bag brand.

They usually have the good green ones, but then sometimes they have the clear ones that are harder to open

All of them are clear ones here, you just notice these new ones are harder to open, and then you start reading the fine print at the lower end of the bag… yep, not the same ones as last week 😂.

explodicle,

I just wave it around frantically until the wind opens it.

This doesn’t usually work 😂. Tried it a few times 😂.

Smoogs,

Tip: distress the edge by pulling at it. This causes the sides to separate. Sometimes you gotta create a tear to get them to separate enough to get it

Like your uncle said back in the day: blow it

EeeDawg101,

I always grab a disinfecting wipe at the entrance and use it to wet my fingers so I can open them.

AgentGrimstone,

I go to the broccolis and touch the usually wet crate first.

Moses parted the sea faster than I separate the bag at the store

it’s called grocery bag fission

lseif,

Desistance,

This was me today. I just wanted some apples dammit.

NaoPb,

I had filled one bag. Then tried to fill the othet with air to open it up, when the filled one broke and everything went out the bottom.

Highlight of my life was shortly after I broke my arm, someone saw me struggling with one of these one-handed and opened it for me like the damn lockpicking lawyer. I’ve considered taking my sling with me shopping ever since, in case I need another good Samaritan to open one of these godforsaken bags again

JizzmasterD,

Just lick your fingers first! The grocery store sells food products, it and its patrons have to be hygienic …
