Claim 10:
11. A folded thermoplastic bag, comprising:
a first sidewall;
a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall and joined with the first sidewall along a first side edge, an opposite second side edge, and a bottom edge;
a first additive component localized at a first position on the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
a first fold proximate the first position;
a second additive component localized at a second position on the first sidewall and the second sidewall that is laterally offset from the first position of the first additive component in a first direction across each of the first sidewall and the second sidewall, the second additive component being reactive with the first additive component;
a second fold proximate the second position; and
one or more additional positions on the first sidewall and the second sidewall directly above or below the first position to which the first additive component has diffused,
wherein the first position, the second position, the first fold, the second fold, and air gaps created by the first fold and the second fold are configured to effectively compartmentalize the first additive component and the second additive component by causing the first additive component and the second additive component to diffuse in a second direction that is across layers of the first sidewall and the second sidewall created by the first fold and the second fold and that is perpendicular to the first direction without substantially diffusing laterally in the first direction across each of the first sidewall and the second sidewall.
