Did the bags not have holes in the bottom to avoid children suffocating? If they did, would you not worry about fluids leaking out of the bin?


I literally never encountered a grocery bag that has holes intentionally punched in. I do, however see them in product packaging.


There's some drive to have them put in as a small suicide prevention measure.

In the UK a few supermarkets had holes in their free bags. I haven't checked the new paid bags.


I don't put liquids in the bin. Food scraps are composted.

I also used store bags to take my lunch. Does anyone not reuse plastic bags?
