I've used ziploc freezer bags for years. But the new style "easy open" version is terrible and you've lost me as a customer once my current stock is gone. I always reused them multiple times, by turning them inside out to thoroughly wash them. Now not only can you not do that without tearing them along the seam, you can barely open them without tearing. There are few replacements that work as well but not only in the interest of sustainability but also because I'm tired of being ripped off by planned obsolescence, I'll have to find a new way to store things I want to keep fresh and dry.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm not sure what has changed with this product. I've bee buying these bags for years and loved them. Lately the zippers keep ripping when I open the bag. I feel like most of the box is useless and they are not inexpensive!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. These Ziploc gallon size freezer bags are great. I like the way they stand open without having to hold them. It makes filling them so much easier.
I have been buying ziploc products for years and have been the easy open gallon bags tear when you try to open them

Ziplock's New Stay Open Design is a game changer !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the pleasure of trying out Ziplock's innovative new Stay Open Designed Gallon Freezer Bags, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations in every aspect. One of the standout features of these bags is the cleverly integrated cut-off line that adds rigidity to the bag, ensuring wide openings that make filling and accessing the contents an absolute breeze. This feature not only simplifies the process of transferring food or other items into the bag but also helps maintain the bag's shape and structure, preventing any accidental spills or leaks. It's a small addition, but it makes a world of difference in terms of usability. Another notable improvement is the patented crosshatched pattern found on the bag. This pattern adds stability to the bag, preventing it from toppling over or collapsing under its own weight when filled with heavier items. It's impressive how such a simple modification can have such a significant impact on the bag's functionality. With this enhanced stability, I can confidently store bulkier items without worrying about the bag giving way or becoming misshapen. Ziplock has also addressed the issue of labeling with their larger write-on label feature. This expanded labeling area provides ample space to write detailed information about the contents, date of storage, and any other important details.It's incredibly convenient to have a dedicated area for clear labeling, making organization and retrieval of items from the freezer a breeze. These improved features make Ziplock's Stay Open Designed Gallon Freezer Bags an absolute must-have in any household or kitchen. They offer unmatched convenience, durability, and versatility.

Super easy to fill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The main thing about Ziplock bags is that they do not skimp on the quality and thickness. I also appreciate the small details, like the grippy tabs to open the bags and the way that you can sit the bag up and fill easily right on the counter. I've never been able to do that with any other bag, so this is very helpful.
