Not really. You buy them as a container to keep your trash. So they serve a time limited purpose like pretty much any other product.
Yeah, you buy food just to throw it away by this logic.

Food packaging also really irks me. Technically, it has a use beyond being thrown away, but there’s just so much of it. You can readily find products in the shops that should be advertised as “plastic trash” and they just stuck a bit of food inside to keep it in shape…
That’s not true! I also buy condoms
Don’t get me started on toilet paper
I used to justifying buying the cheapest brand possible because it’s just to wipe shit on then throw away.
my wife says I’m not wrong but…
Technically one buys food just to eventually flush it down the toilet after briefly using it to maintain energy and mass.
Most of us throwing money in the toilet everyday
And matches are a thing you buy just to have go up in flames.
And you use them to light cigarettes that literally go up in smoke. You can’t even store the smoke in your lungs, but at least you get to keep the tar and cancer.
Either the match burns out or I do
That reminds me of a Lily Tomlin joke: “The other day I bought a little wastebasket and brought it home in a paper bag. Then I crumpled up the paper bag and put it in the wastebasket.” A lot of her stand-up act was just making little ironic observations like that.
Not ‘just’ throw away. They provide a very nice convenience of bundling a bunch of trash together and make it all easier to transport to the bin.
Thx for explaining what trash bags do.
That’s the magic of plastic: Producing more of it is cheaper and easier than producing less.
Of course! You’ve solved it! We just need bigger bags to put the landfills in!
Then we can put those bigger bags if landfills in EVEN BIGGER landfills
They also are used to ball up you clothing to toss in the car when you move…then in the trash can to then throw out. Yeah, you win this one.
Someone’s never made themselves a poncho
I buy food just to shit it out of my body, its the biggest scam
And, you never have to clean your dish soap.
And you buy drinking water just to flush down the toilet.
Sadly there’s way more like that. Mostly plastic related.
