paper bags!!!

This is part of a project I have to speak for four minutes about a random topic. Yes, that random.

The Amazing World of Paper Bags

Paper bags are one of the most fascinating things ever. They’re like portable trees that hold things. Imagine if you had a tree that followed you around all day, holding your lunch. That would rock! You could sell it online for 10 dollars, but it costs so little for a bag, you could earn a lot of money. People who are really eccentric would buy it if you marketed it well enough.

Plastic bags are another kind of bag. Not nearly as nice as paper bags, and they have far fewer uses, and much less recyclable, and they have very few strong points. If paper bags and plastic bags had a fight, the paper bags would just… you know, it wouldn’t even be a fight, it would be a loss for all of plastic bag kind.

Some may say there are reasons to distrust paper bags. They were a racist reference in the 1900s to the 1950s, where parties were held, and anyone darker than a paper bag couldn’t enter. However, it’s not the paper bag’s fault, but instead, the people who bought the paper bags. Now people make paper bags in mass, some selling them in groups of 10,000 minimum. There’s also a record production company under the name of Paper Bag Records in Canada. Who could forget the Fandango ads, with those fascinating little puppets? No one, that’s who.
