Great product at an affordable price!

I LOVE THE GLAD FORCE FLEX MAX STRENGTH, BAHAMA BLISS, TALL KITCHEN, DRAWSTRING BAG BAGS!!!!! I have purchased Glad products for years (I'm 84) and this has to be the best 13 gal kitchen bags I ever used! I love the smell and the color perks my kitchen up! I appreciate the strength of the material for holding all my trash. THANK YOU for such an excellent product at a reasonable price.

Makes the trash smell so good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So first off I love the color. It shows blue from the photo but it's actually like a teal or turquoise. Even though color doesn't matter to me it was kind of fun to have a pop of color to the trash! I have used Glad febreze in the past but I am really loving this new scent. It says it's “bahama bliss” but it smells to me almost like cucumber melon, but maybe that's just me. It's like a fruity fresh scent. This is the only scent that I can say literally smells like that every single time you open the garbage lid. It states it's a steady release scent and it really does do that. This is also a max strength and since using them over the last few weeks I can happily say that not one time did the bag rip when I pulled it out of the garbage can. This was probably the biggest positive for me. They seem to be extra durable even if you end up shoving too much trash in the garbage can which I know we all admittedly have done.

Bahama Breeze fragrance trash bags fragrance

The trash bag does what it's supposed to do and I don't want to be negative but someone has to say it.. The fragrance of l Bahama Breeze febreze smells like cigarettes. Or maybe a common fragrance to cover cigarette smoke on clothing. Does anyone else have this issue? I tried to use them because trash bags aren't cheap but had to throw the box away after the second bag.

Tears a hole at pull string when lifting it out

I have bought Glad Force Flex Mac Strength for years with no problem. I think the fragrance was Frebreez. This purchase they only had Bahama Bliss as a fragrance. Every single bag has torn when I lift it out of the trashcan. I don't know if it's the fragrance or just a bad batch. The tear is right at the black tie area. I'm surely not happy after all these years with this particular box of bags!!! Have you had any other complaints… I sure hate to go to a different bag as I'm used these for many many years with no problemd

There is an issues....

We have purchased Glad Flex bags for years now. This last box has be considering other options. They are easily tearing, ripping at the drawstring when taking them out of the can and just now, went to put in another bag and it wouldn't even open! When i tried, it was like it was melted together. What is going on?!?!

Horrible bags

First and last time buying this bag. The drawstring around the top is only attached at the side seams – – it's folded over the string around the top, but not attached in place, so it's impossible to snuggly close your trash bag. Total rubbish, pardon the pun.

bad drawstring construction

EVERY single bag in the box (40 count!!) had its drawstring outside one side of the bag and the other half was inside the bag, so there was no way to use the bag to tie it up properly. Make sure to check the bags before you get rid of the box. Don't make my mistake or don't bother buying this product in the first place.
