Glad Tall Kitchen Drawstring 13 Gallon Bags, 45 ct

It appears Glad recently changed the drawstrings to better grip trash cans. This (a) was unnecessary, and (b) has made the drawstrings (and thus the bags) ineffective because pulling the drawstrings still leaves not-insignificant gaps in the top of the bag when you try to tie it closed.

I have used nothing but Glad bags in my kitchen for many years, but now it looks like I will have to find a different brand. I only buy the drawstring bags because the handle-tie bags didn't work for me, and I buy them in boxes of 150. Recently, I asked my husband to pick up a new box and they were sold out, so he got the Force Flex instead. I had never bought the Force Flex before because we don't need them, and because there are 30 less bags in each box, but I decided to use them anyway because it was easier than going through the hassle of returning them, but I made sure that he was aware of the differences so that he would not make that mistake again. From the first bag out of the box, I hated them because the drawstring just wouldn't work. In order to cinch the bag, I had to use one hand to hold the bag where the drawstring comes out and the other hand to pull the drawstring through, inch by inch, and I had to do this four times for each bag, i.e., once for each of the four openings. Having disabilities that make it difficult for me to use my hands this way, I gave up after a few bags. Thinking that this was a problem exclusive to the Force Flex bags, I sent my husband for a new box of the same kind that I had been using for so many years but, unfortunately, they are exactly the same so, apparently, you have made changes in order to save money for the company at the expense of the consumer. It's really a shame that you don't realize that saving a few pennies in production will actually cost you more in the long run because of the loyal customers you lose.

I bought this product like a couple months ago because the other bags that we were using Glad stopped making/producing them and its really really dumb that glad stopped making the other bags and they were really good they never broke never leaked nothing but as soon as glad stopped making the worlds worst trash bags everything just went terrible the " leak protection and leak guard " bags would always leak no matter what and yesterday my son went to take he trash out the strings broke then we put everything in to a new bag and it was drenched the floor was soaked in whatever was wet inside of the bag and when my son brought the bag down to the dumpster it broke the trash barely made it into the dumpster as a matter of fact on the way down it got his shoes and end of his pants soaked in whatever was in the bag that was wet and the food that got thrown away had molded because it was absoulutely soaked.

I recently bought a Mega Pack of 110 kitchen trash bags with Fresh Clean scent, and I find that the entire box is defective product. The drawstring is not secured to one half of the trash bags, and simply separates from the bag with the slightest pull on it. I have to get creative to tie the bag shut when it is half full. What a hasle! I feel that I am stuck to use this poor product for a year and spent $19 poorly.

These are the absolute worst garbage bags I've ever bought. I've bought generic bags that were better quality. Every single one of them has leaked at the corners. You should be able to dispose of a certain amount of liquids without worrying about leakage.
