How the bag got germed up in the first place may be less clear?

eco-nuts will never accept that reusable bags are a bad thing.

My wife has been vindicated. She said the reusable shopping bags were a virus outbreak waiting to happen.

Going Green will kill you. We have been warning them ever since they tried to outlaw plastic bags that reusable bags were germ collectors.

My cousin did a double tour in Korea, A couple days after he got back to the states he bought some groceries. As he was unloading the cart onto the cashier’s checkout, she asked him “paper or plastic?” He replied “plastic”, “I just got my debit card yesterday”.

Even worse news ~ we don't know what kind of polypropylene bag it was but did you ever look at how they make that stuff now?

Just look up "100% HyActive™—hollow core polypropylene ".

This product is a cloth manufactured from polypropylene thread with a HOLLOW CORE. It's popular stuff for winter wear worn close to your body ~ your cuts, scrapes, private parts, sweat glands ~ whatever.

They claim it's easily cleaned but what about those HOLLOW CORES? Are they easily cleaned? Does detergent get down there and wash out the viruses and bacteria that are invariably going to get inside those tubes?

If we scale that up a bit we run into a product called Double Walled Polypropylene Sheet, and they make modern mail trays out of it.

It's strong, wears well, and still flexible for any sort of packing requirement or condition. The hollow core tubes make this an ideal place to hide viruses and bacteria ~ USPS faced the prospect of having to destroy upwards of 250,000 of these trays after the Great Anthrax Attack of 2011 since breaks in the tubes sucked in the anthrax, while placing mail into the trays compressed the tubes and expelled the anthrax.

I don't know how many were destroyed but they and the mail in them were subjected to high intensity ultraviolet sanitizing light systems. You knew your mail was safe from the char!

Really, folks, I hadn't realized the woven polypropylene cloth was HOLLOW CORE but it appears from digging through the literature that's the only way you can make it flexible enough for use as a thread for weaving cloth-like products.

They've been selling these bags CHEAP at grocery stores nationwide, and as women's underwear, skintight undergarments for the ski slopes, men's underwear, t-shirts, etc.

I think it's a product whose time has come and gone!
