2 Mil Reclosable Bags - Not just for sandwiches anymore!

When I was a kid we did not have the money for the school lunches, so mine usually came in a brown paper bag. Further compartmentalized in small plastic bags. Not always the zip kind, but plastic nonetheless. As I grew up (I had never envisioned my future career in the plastic industry) I came across bags in every aspect of my life. Although my brain catalogued the encounters, they never really had impact until I sat behind my desk as a reclosable bag salesman. Oh yeah, there were zip bags in that game of Candy Land, and holding that plumbing fixture, or the extra buttons on my shirt. As I sat and thought about it, there are zip bags in every store I go to, and in most of the products.
Of course now it's my job to know where and who are using the bags and if we are not selling them those bags WHY?
I have been reading a few blogs lately which mention their own personal uses for Zip style bags and I wanted to share them. I found this particular blog very interesting, a group of writers talking about packing for conferences with a ton of helpful tips on using 2 mil reclosable bags . I love the idea of the bags keeping wrinkles out of clothes.
Another great blog on LifeHacker suggests using reclosable bags with a paper towel to keep your salad greens fresh for long time periods. Then there is the bath towel method, haven't tried that one yet, but I am sure to give it shot.
I'll be sitting back having my green salad fresh from the ziplock bag in my wrinkle free clothes, but in the meantime, let me know your thoughts on other uses for reclosable bags.
Thanks for your time
