Has anyone else noticed Zip-locks have changed?

Sarmyth@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 81 points –

I've noticed that every product I've bought in the past year with a zip-lock seal is destroyed with common use. I actually think the zip-lock itself has gotten stronger. The bag rips before the seal opens on half the bags now and whenever I try to opens bags I had no issues with before, I find myself stretching/warping the plastic before the seal eventually opens.

It's pretty frustrating and I am seeing it across many products. Cheese bags, storage bags, snacks etc...

This question seems to be about things packaged in bags you buy not bags you buy to package your own things.

I noticed the bags my underware came in were bad quality over a decade ago. I didn't care then as I don't know why I want my underware in a stay fresh bag. Those cheap bags are coming to places I care though.

Ooh, well in that case, yes, it's all junk. But I'm just going to throw that away anyways, so I don't care.

For undeware I don't care. However I expect to reseal my cheese a few times.
