Actually, this is the second chance for Ziploc and they struck out again. This package had three bags slit side to side near the bottom. One of the bags had what look like thick black racing stripes wrapping the left side along with its slit (that didn't make it through the stripes due to their thickness, I suppose). The stripes also give of a strong "poly" odor that tainted all the bags closest to it... 10-12 of them. This is frustrating being the second time we've had a box with bags we can't use. Money wasted. Ziploc is too expensive (for bags in general) to feel good about continuing to buy them. Twice in a year is enough to call up another batter/player in our bag game.
