We have used Glad Tall Kitchen bags for years and they just don't hold up like they did years ago.  When they were white with the red draw strings they worked pretty well.  Since you changed how they're made and now have the black drawstring, they're fairly weak.  I just had to "double bag" my kitchen trash because the side of the bag ripped open.  What I've been using at the Force Flex with Leak Protection.  These bags are sorry!  Looks like I'll have to find another brand to use that's stronger.
