My French supermarket (Leclerc) could never be accused of not giving good advice to its customers; including me.
You can imagine how pleased I was to see these handy hints printed on the side of a paper bag in the fruit/veg section. It probably doesn't need translating, but I will anyway.
1. Take the bag
2. Open the bag
3. Place hand beneath the bag to avoid tearing
4. Put food in bag
I really don't know what I would have done without these tips, along with the handy illustrations. I would have been all of a dither, confused, and panicking.
So, thank you M Leclerc; you saved my day.

The world is going bonkers. I ate a two finger Kitkat yesterday. On the wrapper, in miniscule instructions, was how to remove the chocolate so the wrapper stays in one piece. Easier to recycle so they say. Now you've prompted me to photograph it.
I'd never noticed these instructions before. I can't have been paying enough attention!
At our ages, this could come in handy.
It did with me. I'd have had my Brussels Sprouts all over the floor otherwise!
Enjoyed this post, Cro. There are so many things like this. I always laugh at the sign by the train tracks that says "DO NOT STOP ON TRACKS!" ( seems like that they should add, "IDIOT"...)
I think somebody had a real laugh when they designed this paper bag. I wonder how many people (other than me) actually read the instructions?
I suppose some of Gen Z and α have never seen a paper bag, only plastic.
Does this mean French people are really stupid?
Actually, here it's the other way around. They got rid of plastic bags ages ago, and now only have paper.
I think it means that the Graphic Designers at Leclerc imagine that they are!!!
