Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0001] A wide variety of potential practical and useful embodiments will be more readily understood through the following detailed description of certain exemplary embodiments, with reference to the accompanying exemplary drawings in which:

[0002] FIG. 1 is a side view of an exemplary embodiment of a plastic bag 1000;

[0003] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a plastic bag 2000; and

[0004] FIG. 3 is a side view of an exemplary embodiment of a device 3000.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0005] Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a device that comprises a plastic bag. The plastic bag comprises a slider seal closure. The plastic bag comprises air pillows. The air pillows cushion items placed in the plastic bag from impacts. The plastic bag can comprise polyethylene. The plastic bag can be substantially optically transparent.

[0006] Certain exemplary embodiments can be utilized when one goes to a grocery store or any store really that has delicate or breakable items. For example, delicate or breakable items can comprise bruisable produce, glass cups, breakable dishes, food bottles, wine bottles, liquor bottles, and/or fragile electronics, etc. Store cashiers can be creative in wrapping and/or bagging items. For example, some cashiers might use paper or plastic in between items and/or to wrap items. Such cashier actions can be relatively time consuming and can cause delays for others are waiting in line.
