things that don't make sense

for anything that doesn't make sense...

Why is the plastic on cookies tougher, more puncture resistant, and heavier gauge than most garbage bags? I just got back from Aldi with their knock-off chewy chocolate chip cookies, and that plastic is tough as nails. You could put pounds of broken glass in it. You'd have to pay $15 for 5 construction site grade garbage bags to get this kind of quality, and I'm not sure you'd even get this toughness then.

Noticed that with a lot of foodstuffs these days. We buy cheese platters from Costco, supposedly with a tear off top. Takes a chain saw to get through the plastic. I can't do it and I used to tear phone books in half, lol.
