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.

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?!?!

Defective bags

We have used these trash bags for years. But it seems this last box came defective. There is a perforated tear in every bag. It would be great if you could figure out the issue and fix it.

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.
