Default Debbie Meyers GreenBags Review & Banana Experiment

I got a package of the Debbie Meyer Green Bags for free from a family
member who always seems to be buying those sketchy As Seen On TV type
products.

To test them out, I took two new bananas and put one of them in a
green bag and left the other one out in the open air.

After leaving them alone in a dark corner of an air conditioned room
for four days, the banana in the green bag did seem to fare better.

The green bag banana had less black spots on the yellow skin, the
fruit inside was firmer, and the peel stayed yellow for longer after
it had been removed.

The open air banana had lots of black spots on the skin, the fruit was
noticeably mushier, and the peel turned very black a few minutes after
I peeled it off.

I admit that the experiment was a bit short, but we go shopping once a
week and fresh produce doesn't hang around too long in this household
before it is eaten.

Since the banana test, I've been casually using the bags for our
celery, romaine lettuce, tomatoes and carrots. It seems like the
produce stays fresher for longer but I haven't done any more
experiments.

The 20 bag package might be worth the $9.99 price if you buy produce
in bulk.

I put pictures of the bananas in this photo gallery -

Thank you for the test results, Paul, but I suspect an even more useful
test would have been between DM's bags and regular ol' supermarket produce
bags. Give that comparison a try and get back to us.

My question remains..........why in the hell would you buy SO MUCH
produce that a human couldn't consume in six weeks.

I buy food that I can consume......if it is on sale, that is my good
luck. Buying seventeen pound of bananas just because they are on
sale doesn't make sense unless you are feeding a high school cafeteria
for the Chicago school district.
