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…
I only notice this with weed baggies from legal weed. Not only is it not an official Zip-Lock™ system, they’re made specifically to be hard to open as a child safety feature. But it’s too good at that, being difficult for an adult to open too.
Most others are so weak, they never actually snap shut properly or they’re just incredibly thin and tear right off the bag when you try to open it.
