Slider Bags are Horrible Design and Bad for Environment

Received these quart size slider bags through a promotion and after several uses, the little plastic slider comes off. The best part is, the bag is sealed and without the little slider, you can't open the bag without tearing it apart. I tried diligently to reattach the thing to the slider channel on the top of the bag and it doesn't work. Frustrating and ridiculous. Now I've got 2 problems as a human being that cares about this beautiful planet: 1 - another plastic bag entering the waste stream of trillions of disposed plastic bags. 2 - the little plastic slider piece is so small that it can easily enter the waste water stream heading to rivers, lakes and oceans where it can be consumed by birds and other animals living in and around these waters. It's bad enough that our lives depend on these bags, but I do my part by recycling them for as many uses as possible. If you are to continue to make these ziplock bags and consumers are going to continue to buy them, please offer better solutions - STOP making slider bags would be a great start. These things are horrible especially because there is no way to slide them closed (or open them) without the silly plastic slider thingy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

3 Strikes. Time for a new batter/brand

Actually, this is the second chance for Ziploc and they struck out again. This package had three bags slit side to side near the bottom. One of the bags had what look like thick black racing stripes wrapping the left side along with its slit (that didn't make it through the stripes due to their thickness, I suppose). The stripes also give of a strong "poly" odor that tainted all the bags closest to it... 10-12 of them. This is frustrating being the second time we've had a box with bags we can't use. Money wasted. Ziploc is too expensive (for bags in general) to feel good about continuing to buy them. Twice in a year is enough to call up another batter/player in our bag game.

Received a free box of the bags about a month ago. Overall a great product. Some of the bags sliders slide right off which made those bags unusable.

Handy Snack Bags

I use the quart-size, slider storage bags on a daily basis. I fill them with grapes, olives, strawberries, and cheese sticks to make our daily snack bags. Every Sunday I make ten of these for the week so that each morning all I have to do is take two out of the refrigerator, one each for my husband and I. Then we can eat our snacks throughout the day while at work. Very convenient and, of course, love the slider and flat bottom!
