Today I was cooking and realized, right in the middle of things, that I needed eggs. Really just an egg, but its not something that you buy individually. I quick ran over to the grocery store, found the eggs and hurried to the check out counter.
Usually when I’m buying a single item, I skip getting a bag. It seems like a waste for a single item, and I always picture forests devoid of trees or a landfill full of plastic bags in a million years.
I told the bagger to skip the bag, and he looked at me and said, “Really? Without a bag, the eggs could break.”
I took the eggs without the bag, and walked out of the store wondering how much protection a plastic bag really does offer.

I think the plastic bag is not to protect the eggs, but to protect your car/home from the broken eggs.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need a Byerly's bag! How could you leave home without one?
