Not exactly a review, an opinion. Green Bags. What a stupid idea.

First off, if you go to the site, you get blasted by the ad without a choice. Try it:


Props to the chick for coming up with a TV SENSATION, but what a load of crap. Here's an idea, EAT YOUR FOOD instead of squirrelling it away like uh... A SQUIRREL! Why would you BUY food and not eat it? It must have to do with Antarctica and Japan, as witnessed by your "Story behind the bags"

Scientists involved in Antarctic exploration were searching for ways to prolong the freshness of produce. During their research, they found a region in Japan where for thousands of years farmers have been storing produce in mountain caves with amazing results.

These days it's called the crisper drawer in the fridge.

Help me with the math too, if these things preserve food "up to 10 times the normal life", are you saying normal life is 3 days? That's what it sound like to me! I've got bananas that hang around longer than some zits I get, so I'm thinking this is wrong.

And get this, if your bags are smelly: "If the odor is getting bad, it is probably time to purchase additional DEBBIE MEYER Green Bags". Not the fruits and veggies, the BAGS!

What a load.....

I wonder what other day time commercials I'm missing out on? What other treasures have I been neglected to own? What other problems do I have that can be solved for 3 easy payments of just $19.95?

I buy fruits and veggies at the store to juice them. I hate going to the store. Therefore I buy enough to last a week or so, so i don't have to go every day. By the end of the week, some of the produce isn't very fresh. I'm hoping these bags work - your review isn't helpful since you've not even tried the product. Lame.

I was anxious to try Green Bags. I'm not any more. They are just another false advertisement trick.
The bananas were mushy (pretty on the outside and mush inside). The tomatoes are also mushy. We were totally disapointed no matter what we tried.And the lettuce was wilted.

Both Cooks Magazine and Consumer Reports say these are worthless, basically anyway.
