Color Scents 8 Gallon Medium Trash Bags - 40 Count Pack with Twist Tie, Vanilla Flower Scent & Microban Protection | Odor Control for Kitchen, Bathroom & Office Waste

Pleasantly surprised is the term I'd use to describe how I felt using these bags. The first time I bought them was in-store, they were super cheap at the time. I'd decided to start taking out my kitchen trash every dang night as my curious dog kept tipping over the trash can. It felt wrong to throw out a tall kitchen bag while it was only 1/4 full, so I opted for these smaller bags. My criteria were simple: small, cheap, and fit my current tall-kitchen 13 gallon trash can. I was not particularly concerned with Durability or Sturdiness. These bags are indeed quite thin. They are not as durable or sturdy as typical tall kitchen bags, but they are perfect for one-day use in the kitchen or one-week use at your desk. Be wary of throwing away sharp-cornered, flattened boxes if the bag is relatively full. As for fitting my existing trash can, they do! The bags are constructed with a single pinch point at the bottom (laid flat it looks like a fan) rather than seams on all sides of a rectangle like tall kitchen bags. This means the top flares out so it will fit the mouths of a variety of cans. Lastly, the scent! I have vanilla. I'm not a big vanilla fan, but I figured if they had done a terrible job scenting the bags that vanilla would be the least offensive smell. But I actually really like the vanilla scent! As long as I can find these bags at a reasonable price, I will continue to use them. That scent and the act of taking out a small bag of unoffensive kitchen trash has been a game changer for me--taking out the trash isn't nearly the chore it was before.
