Just watched a video of someone exploring a mansion that was abandoned in the 2000s. Eventually they got to the kitchen and found a cupboard that was stuffed full of used plastic bags and I was like, 'Huh, that definitely was a thing.'

Bonus fact: A plastic bag that is caught high up in a tree that rustles in the wind are called 'Witches Britches ' in some regions.
