Need a tiebreaker

I am thinking a macaroni and cheese theme would fit well. Lets take the yellow and put some cotton balls around them.

blue contrasts the wall better, even with the auto-white-balance taken into account

I prefer the Grey lowes ones myself however im sort of a snob like that

You can see the camera's auto white balance changes depending on the colour of the bag.
- If you want nice warm hues in your portraits, always pose with a Walmart shopping bag
- Funny

Don't choose the yellow one. It gets tricky to know when the pee is about to overflow.

As a German definitely white. Since yellow is only acceptable for plastic packaging. And bathroom junk is usually tampons and stuff.
- Oh I thought we were choosing wall colour
  
  But the yellow is just so much more sophisticated...

They banned plastic grocery bags in my state to cut down on plastic waste... Now I have to buy more plastic "trash" bags to throw away...
- I'm convinced that "Big Trash Bag" has been lobbying for these kinds of laws lol
  I'm sure they do a little for the climate, but does nothing to tackle the actual big polluters (i.e. big corporations)
  
  Really gotta wonder how America hasn't invented a corn-based, low-cost, durable polymer that breaks down in typical landfills.
- Seems like they need to make a wastebasket that fits the paper sacks?
  
  Something like this would probably work well:
  
  I'm in California and they did the same thing but we still get plastic bags. They're reusable and $0.10 each.
- My stare does it too, but there's still plenty of other things that come in paper or plastic bags that I use for garbage i.e. takeout, etc that I've still got the same box of trash bags I bought like 8 years ago. Very rarely to I use an actual trash bag.

Got to love Lemmy. I see so many goofy posts like these and then everyone proceeds to take it way too seriously and even start to give advice.
- Most of us have a touch of the 'tism.

I never thought I'd put these words together...but Walmart is the classier choice.

I think it’s black and blue.

With Amazon, you can get rid of the can as well. Cardboard boxes make excellent, disposable wastebaskets.
- I've actually been using the box my computer case came in for recycling for a little over a year now. It just works!
  
  Omg I did the same lol. Sort of. It's not my primary one but it has recycling in it.
- You can use them for most types of furniture too!

You could use none and just dump it into the larger trash bag in the kitchen when it fills up. Every so often, wash it out in the bathtub.
- I use the bathroom garbage to empty the litterboxes. Ain't no way i am raw dogging that

I'm actually worried these days that I won't be able to do this one day soon.
The grocery stores I use have stopped using these bags and now I don't collect them anymore. Up until a year ago I used to complain about it all, I'd collect boxes and boxes of this crap year after year. I used to joke with my friends that I could insulate my garage with this stuff. Now my stash is dwindling as the months go by. I keep emptying box after box of what were once endless stashes of grocery bags.
What will happen when I run out? :(
- You'll have to start recycling and composting.
  
  Idk if kitty litter or dental floss fits into either of those categories
- Is this like a northern state thing?
  The only places I know that don’t do bags are Sprouts (charges 0.10) and Natural Grocers (they give you leftover boxes if you ask.)
  I’ve got a bunch, but can’t share - hoping to process them into yarn.
  
  Northern Ontario .... although we have a lot in common with the northern states

I don't wear ties.

I'm gonna have to go with choice "A". The Walmart bag is slightly larger than the DG bag, so it will fit in the bin better.

I prefer the generic ones that say "Thank You"

you're gonna need to go two-tone. even tossing just an empty tp tube into either runs the risk of the bag breaking.
