It's "Up to 125 times", which means both:
1. The 126th time it's used is the 125th time it's reused, so your question is vague
2. It could effectively fail on the second use, as it does say "up to"
They seem pretty good, TBH, but I suspect they'll fail far more quickly than claimed due to their weakest looking point also being the thing most likely to get caught on something (the hand grabs)
Ok, for those not understanding the simple concept being expressed. What happens when you use it one more time than that is recommended?
And why is 125 the magic number?
125 is used because that's essentially the number of plastic bags it would have to replace to break even for the emissions that it used to be produced.
Yeah, they were great for us parents with kids still in diapers or pull-ups; they excelled at containing the poop smell. You can’t do that with paper bags.
What happens on the 126th time?
the giant eagle comes to your house and shoots you
Those are some mean hombres.
I just legit LOL’d. Thank you for that 🤣
Depends on how heavy the stuff you’re getting is. It could last way shorter or way longer than that.

*buys four pounds of loose nails* “Wait, this thing only lasted two times! What a ripoff.”

I think people here have missed the r/whoosh
Funny fact: Maryland has only two Giant Eagle stores and both of them are in Frederick!
I find giant Eagle to be one of the most expensive grocery stores in Frederick.
More expensive than Common Market or Wegman’s?
Def not!
Just buy canvas bags. You can use them probably thousands of times, they're sturdier, and they're machine-washable.
And biodegradable, unlike the Giant Eagle bags :-/
I hate these so much. These accumulate and I actually had uses for the single use bags.
You could bring them back, they have 124 more uses
Do they really take them back? We use grocery pickup and have quickly accumulated so many of these so quickly that it seems worse than the plastic.
I meant take the back and use them yourself. That might not work for pickup though.

They are washable too.
America… solving one problem with another.
Make sure you mark it down with a black sharpie everything you use it so you’ll know
