I couldn't find the 'NON' Slider version of the Storage Bags (the one with the pink top) we bought both the Sandwich Sized and the 1 Gallon, neither of them are usable. I tried to use the Ziploc website contact feature, but it crashed repeatedly so I figured that at least the Facebook page would not crash since it is not created or maintained by Johnson. We purchased the Ziploc STORAGE bags and have not been able to use them because when attempting to open, it rips the plastic near or around where you are grasping. If you do manage to pop the seal, the motion is so jarring that it rips the edge of the bag down the seam and the contents goes everywhere. The seal is so strong that in cannot be opened unless pried open with a knife or something with an edge on it. We do have other bags by Ziploc (Sandwich GREEN or Freezer BLUE) and they perform as expected.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So disappointed with this product! Prefer the tradition ziplock by far!!! The zip feature falls off so that you are constantly left with Closed bag that is difficult to reopen!

I have used ziploc for years but the last few boxes of the gallon zipper storage bags have been awful. Plastic is super thin, zippers won't unzip the bag and end up falling off and when you try to open the bag it tears under the zipper area which then makes the bag useless. Out of this box and the last I threw away over half.
Bought these today on a recommendation to marinate in. Used 2 bags, each had 2 pieces of pork tenderloin and teriyaki marinade, total weight of ALL meat was 2.8lbs, plenty of room in each bag. After marinating for about an hour removed bags from fridge to massage the meat and redistribute the marinade, both bags began leaking rapidly at the sides in roughly the same spot, with the marinade spilling into the sink. Bad batch?
I just started using these bags and will not use anything else again. These storage bags are heavy plastic that will not tear, and the closure is so easy and so much better and more reliable than the type you have to pinch together. I make up my freezer meals in these bags--including meat, veggies, seasonings and liquids. I seal it, freeze it and forget in until it's time to use. With these bags, I don't have to worry about the bags getting torn or leaking in the freezer or during thawing. These bags help make my life easier and worry-free.
I would recommend this to a friend!
