[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had just thrown my daughter's graduation party a couple of days before receiving this sample. I made 4 varieties of individual mini-trifles for desserts. For ease of prep and assembly, I made all of the ingredients the day prior (each trifle had some mixture of pudding, cool whip, cream cheese as one of its layers). The plan was to fill a freezer bag with each pudding variety, and simply cut a corner of the bag and pipe in the goodness into each serving cup the day of the party. NOT SO EASY with slider bags that don't stand up!! It was a messy disaster attempting to fill them, scooping in the pudding one spoonful at a time, as I mumbled to myself how I wish the bags would just stand upright so I could just pour it in. Then, the next day, I cut the corner off my first bag, started to pipe in the cool whip concoction, and immediately discovered that slider bags will pop right open if you squeeze the contents. NOT IDEAL to say the least! A couple days later I received this box of stay open storage bags. I ended up having family over for dinner just a couple nights ago and re-attempted the mini-trifles. WHAT A GAME CHANGER HAVING THESE BAGS!! Lightweight, yet stand up and stay open with such ease - so easy to pour my ingredients right in. The ziploc is super strong, and I had no bag blowouts at all. Phenomenal. Sure wish I had had them a week before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed the new ZIploc Gallon bags with the Stay Open Design. Nothing is worse than trying to pack snacks and the bags close or fall over and everything falls back out. Especially if you are in a rush. These bags stand and stay open. Makes it so much easier to get them packed, sealed, and the kids off to where they need to be! Game changer! will be buying these from now on.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the product to prepackaged meals for the week. I was surprisingly shocked that once I folded and stood it up it didn't move once added the product too it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bags were great. They stayed open when I needed them to and I was able to put stuff in them very easily. They were particularly good for putting in salad items while I was cutting them and I could just easily throw them in.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bags are easy to use and stay open when needed. I like the ziploc brand and quality and so far these bags have been great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of those staple items that just need to work and work well - no fuss, no fighting with the closure. These are so simple to use, stay open, can be rolled down, and are super durable. A kitchen (and house!) staple for sure. The uses are limitless!
I've been using Ziploc bags for many years. I don't understand some of the poor reviews. While I have noticed that sometimes the zipper is hard to open the first time, I use my thumbnail to get it started. After that, they open, seal and reopen just fine, and I haven't had any bags tear. For non-messy foods and non-food items, I have reused them without incident. I can turn a sealed bag containing liquid upside down without leakage, which is something I couldn't do with the "other" brand's bags.
