Hey, I actually saw one of these bags yous guys are talking about last weekend when I was visiting "city folk" relatives. I guess they are common in stores that are on bus routes? I live in "cow country" here in Northeast CT but do have three major supermarkets, Wallymart, Lowes, Sears, and Tractor Supply within 5 miles so "shopping by bicycle" is quite doable. None of these stores have bike racks and I don't think I ever saw a bike loaded with groceries hereabouts. Anyways I guess I'll pick up some of them bags next time I'm in a "pedestrian" city. I did hit the WallyMart 3.3 miles away today (longest trip yet!) and picked up some frozen pizzas and big sode bottles and got them home just in doubled plastic shopping bags fine. I figured the pizzas could survive a bit of defrosting unlike ice cream products!
