    This is very confusing to me. Do ziplocks not exist where you live?

      They do, the bags are made as cheap as possible so if you open them more than once the plastic under the zip starts stretching and then tears making a bag with a large hole.

      Happens to me lots since I can’t control my hands as well as I aught to.

        Gallon freezer ziplock bags. Thick, durable, reusable for a long time.

          Yes, but don’t put the zip on it if it doesn’t work, it’s just plastic for the sake of plastic.

              I would love to find the brand that doesn’t.

              Legit dude, trying to open any thin plastic packaging when your fine motor control is failing is a losing battle, you aren’t opening it or your opening it way to far with away too much oomph.

        I have some large zipper bags that are specifically made to be washed and reused for that kind of stuff.

          The silicone ones? I have those too, I go through tortillas fast enough I could leave them out if I wanted so no big deal just an annoying waste of plastic.
