What does resealable mean to you? To me, it means a container that has some mechanism for resealing the container – for a jar, that might be a lid, and for a bag, I’d go with some zip-lock mechanism. Perhaps even a little patch of adhesive could make a bag pass as faux-resealable.
The box of Sunmaid raisins on my desk at work has neither, yet the box proudly boasts of “resealable bag inside”. The bag is no more resealable than any other zipper less bag – that is to say it isn’t. Kristi points out this is a step in resealability from the previous “raisins loose in a cardboard box” configuration, but I’m not buying it.
On the other hand, I bought a 6-pack of champion socks in a bag that boasts of its resealability, and comes with a ziplock!
So I can have my socks never lose that new-sock smell, and stale, maggoty raisins. Because no one likes stale socks.
You can’t make this stuff up.
“He will open the bag of raisins with his left hand. He will hold the bag of raisins out at a *fourty-five* degree angle so that I may remove a raisin without touching the sides of the bag.”
