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…

    Which… might be ok, if the object is to reduce plastic consumption and pollution.

      It’s not. It’s to make more money. Everything will continue to get slightly worse - year after year - for as long as this current economic ideology continues.

      Then get rid of the non-functional ziplock part altogether. That’d save way more plastic.
