Review on Hefty Strong Tall 13 Gallon Kitchen Trash Bags, White, Unscented - Pack of 90 by Dave Howard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much better than what I used

For 13 gallon cook bags I used Glad. There have been a lot of problems with them ripping lately, even ripping right out of the box. I also never liked how the Glad pouch has to stretch at the top to fit over the rim of a 13-gallon container. Since there were so many broken packages last time, I decided to try something else. i found this The first thing I noticed is that they easily fit on the rim of a 13 gallon container. Bags don't need to be stretched. I then compared the circumference at the top of the two bags. The girth of the hefty is 5 inches larger than that of the glad. No wonder it easily fits into a container. I then compared the weights on my not-so-accurate electronic postal scale, which measures to the nearest 0.2 ounces. A bag of Hefty weighed up to 0.8 ounces. wheel .6. So they seem to be more ductile with the hefty, which I think makes them more durable and less prone to cracking. Whatever the reason, there are no issues with their break - so far. I am not an employee or straw man of the manufacturer or seller. I'll probably try other brands that might work better. I did not receive any freebies or money in exchange for this review.
