Dont lick your finger, the veggies get sprayed with water. Wet your finger with the clean water and the bag will open for you. Just like everything else in this life: Its better when its wetter.
Except paper bags and toilet paper before you wipe
You can also just breath onto the bag too. Just enough to get the condensation to lightly form and it does the same thing. Although I also just grab a drop of water that’s on the produce container where it sprays sometimes.
FYI, reusable produce bags exist!
I put the bag between my palms and rub back and forth a bunch of times. It works as long as you have both hands free (and you have two hands).
The Mr. Miyagi method!
Exactly.
I usually wet the tip and rub it over and over until it comes.
Usually get some looks at the store but it works 100% of the time.

Theres no reason to put most produce in bags. I don’t know why people are obsessed with plastic. People even put bananas in bags… Theyre already bagged!
I just don’t want anything touching the cart surface, I doubt they sanitize those regularly
There is no part of the growing, harvesting, cargo packing, transportation, or store stocking process that’s making your produce too pristine to be soiled by a cart. A ride in a bag a couple miles to your house isn’t going to sanitize it either.
Bring your own reusable bag.
Most of the produce bags here have handles. I found that the meeting place where the “handle” meets the “bag” to be the easiest spot to separate. I just rub the bag between my fingers in that area and usually it only takes a single rub for it to separate.
I have zero issue opening these bags but for some reason my mom and siblings really struggle.
Woah look at hr.reasonablymoisthands over here!
You guys put all the fresh stuff in plastic bags? Why not just straight into the shopping bag?
Just stretch the bag carefully a bit on opening. Works every time! Simple.
just remember which side is the opening, or you’ll accidentally tear the wrong side
I was at my local walmart today…
