Bumkins Reusable Sandwich and Snack Bags

I got intrigued by this whole zero-waste trend everywhere online and saw people suggesting reusable snack bags. I think it’s a great idea and after researching, when I found the Nintendo-themed ones, it was a “must-buy”! They work on a basic level, but they did not meet my expectations—I thought for sure this was an upgrade in every way to sealable ziplock bags, and without the wastefulness if you don’t reuse those. I can keep dry snacks like nuts and pretzels in a ziplock for a week (or more?) and they still taste the same. I put pretzels in one of these and the next day they were already stale. Disappointing that the trusty ziplock outperformed this. If you eat the snacks that day, it’s not a problem. But if you are like me and put them in your work computer bag for “emergencies” throughout the week, you will be annoyed when your snack you were counting on is gross. After this happened, I stopped using them for food and now use them for things like pencils, cables, and travel supplies. Many others on here are giving generally positive reviews and have this complaint too (even some say same-day staleness happens!), so while the average rating is good and the product is handy, they fail for food storage. I would recommend you search for airtight snack bags, which I am doing right now...
