- Makes food taste weird!
- I bought the bags a couple of days ago....and my strwberries taste really strange. I'm tossing the bags after reading the rest of the reviews.

- Green bags don't keep food from aging internally
- The green bags do keep the fruit from looking old or corrupted (brown), but they do not keep the aging/overrippening on the inside. The bananas will look great on the outside, but inside they will be mushy, not firm as you would expect a yellow banana to be and the fruit doesn't taste good either.

- They DO work!
- Okay, I was very skeptical that this product would work - but give them a try. I used celery as my test. I never have been able to keep celery fresh for more than 2 days before getting soft and tasteless. Put the celery in a bag, closed the bag and came back 2 days later - still fresh and crisp. Waited 4 more days - still crisp. Waited another week - WOW - fresh and crisp - I was sold.
Been using these bags for a year and am still impressed. - 2008-05-04, 6 of 7 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Used properly - without moisture - they are great
- Important - moisture is the enemy.
I've been using these bags for over 8 months and they really extend the
life of my produce. The important thing is to make sure you limit the amount of moisture inside the bag. I put in one or two paper towels
before closing the bag. Every now and then, I'll check to replace the
towel when it feels wet, and wipe away any condensation in the bag.
Before I learned this trick, I had some disappointing results, but now
they work great!

I agree with the comments about bananas. They don't work well. - 2008-04-25, 12 of 12 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- I was skeptical, but they actually work, SORT OF
- I purchased these bags the same day I bought some bananas, a "bunch" of 3, 9 days ago. Normally after a few days the uneaten bananas get thrown away, even though I only normally purchase a bunch of about 4 or 5. We just don't eat them fast enough. On a whim, I purchased a box, only because of my walking 7yo infomercial. Today she ate the 3rd banana, 9 days later. Granted, it was a bit softer than usual, but not a brown on it.
I had also put a red & a green bell pepper in another bag, which has been on my countertop for about 6 days. Not a wrinkle on them. We'll be cutting them up tonight, so if I have a negative comment to post, I'll be back.
Next I'm going to try strawberries, something else that normally rots away in my fridge.
So far, I don't regret my purchase and am glad that I didn't go with my thoughts of "no way, can't work".
EDIT 05/30/08: Strawberries: rotted/molded within a few days. Peppers: did prevent wrinklage, used peppers 6 days later, peppers in great shape. Tomatoes: same as peppers. Bananas: definitely prevented the browning by more than a week, but the banana was alot softer than I would expect.
If I could change my original 4 star rating, I'd bump it down to a 2.5.
To me, it's worth it just to extend the life of my bunches of bananas. - 2008-04-23, 30 of 30 people found this review helpful, Rated:
