      Yeah, I was picturing the big 40lb dog food bags. Those look like 20lb of dog food at most in the big ones. It’s not useful at best, and misleading at worst. If they had just said “2.5gal plastic bags” (which is exactly what the purple zipper ones are, 2.5gal Hefty freezer bags) it would have been far more useful, because not only is it accurate, it’s more familiar to more people.
