do you often put consumables in your shoes? or touch things you eat after touching your shoes? -- nm - b. May 23, 16:52 16

  - some items have more packaging than others and have a more direct path from container to mouth.. - b. May 23, 17:07 5
    - I should say, though, that ^^ is not of as much concern to me as what can get tracked from the outside of bags.. - b. May 23, 17:15

      - that was just my squicked aside. it applies to regular plastic-wrapped loaves. - b. May 23, 17:17 2
        
        So wait, I *shouldn't* use my gym bag for groceries? Wow! -- nm - Spawn May 23, 17:31 1
        
        *squint* -- nm - b. May 23, 17:32
  - Yeah, that was kind of where I was going. I figure shoes track in far worse on carpets that people sit on and touch then ever gets to me in a bag. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 17:06 6
    - I sort of hate to even mention this with all the germophobes around here, but the dirtiest thing in your house is probably your keyboard. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 17:17 5

        Eh, I bleach my hands before (and after) everytime I sit down at the computer. Probabloy one of the reasons I don't like a laptop computer. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 17:29 1
        
        sorry your hands are going to disappear soon! -- nm - b. May 23, 17:32
      - Depends on how much handwashing you do, as well. - Spawn May 23, 17:21
      - no worries, we already know and clean them. ;p - b. May 23, 17:20
- probably. humans are dirty creatures. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 16:57
- Actu... oh. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 16:52
local tv consumer reporter did a story on them, says the bags should be rinsed in bleach (which would likely dissolve some of htem) I just put meat in - zeitgeist May 23, 16:46 12
- I would think distilled white vinegar would be preferable for this -- nm - con_carne May 23, 16:50 1
  - It is. -- nm - the liioul without a u May 23, 17:00
- why would bleach dissolve plastic bags? What's it sold in? -- nm - Reagen May 23, 16:49 6
  - those reusable grocery bags are a heavy textured paper -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 18:47
  - Harder plastic! -- nm - Spawn May 23, 16:52 3
    - You ever notice how you don't see expired jugs of bleach? - Spawn May 23, 16:53 2
      - on the off chance you're being serious, it's because the bleach itself decomposes. - Reagen May 23, 16:56
      - I've long said I wish that everything that expires (consumables, skincare products, etc etc etc) should have expiration dates or mfg dates; but you - b. May 23, 16:56
  - "I dunno ... jugs?" -- nm - Jesse Pinkman si May 23, 16:50
- I actually think Krogers puts the meat into a plastic bag and then that bag into our sack, IIRC. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 16:48 2
  - that's what I do myself, if they're available. (the produce-type bags.) -- nm - b. May 23, 16:54
  - this. same for shampoo and some other liquids (ones that you wouldn't want on your food if they spilled) -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 16:51
