Barb will probably end up putting the bag over his head.

Definitely a one bagger, maybe two.

I’m coming to get you Barbara

He’s sure Barb will be Glad® to see him now.

What’s the scent? … Next time he could try a dryer sheet.

Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy…

Not long ago I commented to my kids, “whose idea was it to make trash bags smell like very cheap men’s cologne?”

The odors on scented trash bags simply reek! I just gave away a brand new box of the scented things because I bought scented ones by mistake.

If you’re just going to the movies… store brand.

If you’re going out to dinner at a high-end restaurant… definitely Hefty® Lavender and Sweet Vanilla.

You may now thank me!

Spoiler Alert: it will not be a hot date with Barb.

Ha silly man….he could’ve easily used the “pine tree shaped” air fresheners for that. “Black ice” is my personal favorite

Try taking a shower next time.

Maybe off-point, but, were I Barb, I wouldn’t let those weird hands touch me anyway.

What, exactly, does he plan on doing to Barb?……

I would of gotten this if the bag he was holding was the same color of the bag coming out of the box. Duh!

Ah, it’s a cinch!!

They’re selling scented trash bags now???

While your at it, would let Bleeb out of the cabinet.

Ha! On the plus side, it also makes for a wonderful conversation starter.

I tried trash bags with “Odor Control”, I never bought them again because irony of ironies, they smelled bad!

It will double as a rain poncho if he cuts a hole in it.
