Hippo Sak Tall Kitchen Trash Bag - Product Review

I signed up for a free sample of Hippo Sak Trash Bags a few weeks ago. Do they live up to the hype?

The sample came with two 13 gallon trash bags. They are translucent white and have handles similar to most shopping bags. Right out of the package I could tell that the bags felt like they were made of a sturdier plastic compared to most other trash bags. They kind of reminded me of some of the bags you could get when shopping at a mall, only bigger. I was pleasantly surprised at how strong these bags ended up being. I made sure to include things I have trouble with compared to other bags, in this one (sharp-cornered boxes, things with liquid still in them, oddly shaped items and heavy items). I filled the first bag up as much as I could. The bag did not tear or leak. The handles did not hurt my hands when I carried the bag, before or after I tied it shut. I also noticed that they were easier to open than most bags. I am usually skeptical when something has five stars on Amazon, but these bags definitely deserve it.
