Or the very first time you open the bag, the zip seal pulls away from the rest of the bag.

Or the seal doesn’t line up properly and can’t be zippered no matter what you do.

Or the seal is one of those cheap single layer ones that cross-threads and pops back open every time you think you’ve got it.

Or the zip opening doesn’t cover the whole bag, and you, moron you are, cut the top instead of the disturbing mouth hole they want you to use.

I end up clipping them half the time anyway… good thing large packs of wood clothes pins are still commonly available at the dollar store :)

  There’s a brand of museli in Australia that does this as well

the creatine supplement powder i get has this wonderous resealable bag that uses something similar to velcro to stick together, like imagine velcro but it’s just a bunch of tiny rectangles on either side that friction fit together.

it seems effectively infinitely durable, has no moving parts, and because it can be made however wide you want you don’t have to worry about lining it up like the traditional press-lock bags, and it’s way more of a solid lock.

  We had a bag of cat food for our diabetic cat that had the Ziploc feature, and it is far and away the best bag-closing design there is. We ended up just dumping future foods into that bag. Cat has since passed, bag remains, an homage to her legacy.

I use binder clips for a really secure hold.

  I lose them entirely too often for that to be an affordable option for me 🤭 I get like 80 clothespins for $1. I’ve gone through like 5 packs of them in 15 years, give or take.
  
  But maybe I’d hit a level of saturation eventually (I find random clothespins all the time now) and it would work out.
  
  Probably not - I have a habit of MacGyvering stuff from whatever I find laying around… clothespins are stupid handy for that, and binder clips would be too… so I’d definitely repurpose them… :)
