Agree with the sentiment, but in my experience the zippers have gotten worse and I haven’t seen any indication that Grove is addressing the issue. I still use their smaller 1/4 & 1/2 oz bags. Figure it’s worth the extra money so folks have decent storage for a bit. But I no longer trust that the pound bags aren’t leaking.
Grove knows the zippers detach as they had videos showing how to use your thumbs to secure the zipper to the bag sides when opening - which I do. And a lot of the time it’s hard to actually tell that the zipper has detached since it’s just a small section that comes loose and not readily apparent. You actually need to test that the zipper doesn’t have an air gap, which then makes it more likely that you’ll create the problem you’re checking. Here’s the first bag I grabbed from a pile of old bags and you can see, where my thumb is, that the zipper glue has gone bad. (Granted a 3 or 4 year old bag. Personally I don’t reuse them as they seem to hold onto odor.)
Really wish they would resolve this issue, because I really like the bags and no way I’m going back to all the jars.
