Worked fine = seals and vacs FINE...ok?
Jack



If you used them and say so, OK. If not, NO, it is not fine or OK.

Sorry to be doubtful, but I've seen too many times that someone sealed a
bread bag or lunch bag and they thought is was just dandy and it "worked
fine". But while it sealed, it did not draw a vacuum.

My foodsaver will NOT pull a vac on potato chip bags. Not Lays chips .Not
Fritos. Not Ruffles. It will,however, pull a vac on Black and Decker rolls.
Ed, that's three testimonials from me. You must remember that I am from
Texas and a Republican and perhaps by definition not to be trusted. Maybe
two or three others have used the B&D bags or rolls and will come to my
support and bring you to the dark side of B&D.

YOU I trust. Even if you are from Texas. It is some of the other a$$&0es
that think their 30 year old Daisy Seal-A-Meal is better than the vacuum of
outer space.

I'll be looking for some B&D rolls in the future.

You've tried these with the Tilia and they work?


I've tried 'em and they work. But I think Tilia rolls at Sam's Club are a
little cheaper.

They no longer sell the Tilia style bags. They go caught selling out the
back door, so to speak.

Can anyone confirm that they do?


READ MY LIPS - The B&D rolls SEAL with the Foodsaver - They VACUUM with the
Foodsaver - They ignore your rule that the MJST have air channels as they do
not.

I don't read lips. You just never know where they have been.

I doubt highly that either tilia or B&D imports their vaccum from outer
space. The aforementioned vaccum probably comes from Texas as well.

Actually, the B&D bags do have air channels of a sort. They're just not
etched onto the bag, itself. They incorporate two interior "wings" of
mesh material which provide the channel for air extraction.

Thank you. I figured there must be some way to evacuate the air. Now to
find a source as I've not seen them in stores (but have not looked all that
hard either) and did not find them in a quick search of web sites.

As I posted originally, I got them at WalMart.

Yes, you did. In my post wrt Black & Decker bags that started this
thread. Here's the relevant part:
"While it says on the box that they "work with leading brand vacuum
sealers," I wasn't sure of how well they'd work with my Tilia, so I only
bought one box. I just tried making one bag and sealing an apple and it
works just dandy. I'm going back to wipe them out."

I've since used them for packaging up some sauce for my kids to take
back to school and they did the job well.

oops... my bad... ;-) Thanks!
