Bag

A bag (also known regionally as a sack) is a common tool in the form of a non-rigid container, typically made of cloth, leather, bamboo, paper, or plastic.

The Bible mentions pouches, especially with regard to Judas Iscariot carrying one around, holding his personal items.

In the 14th century, wary of pickpockets and thieves, many people used drawstring bags, in which to carry their money.

Dillybags were and are mainly designed and used by women to gather and transport food, and are most commonly found in the northern parts of Australia.

[4] Women also wore more ornate drawstring bags, typically called hamondeys or tasques, to display their social status.

Aristocrats began carrying swete bagges filled with sweet-smelling material to make up for poor hygiene.

[5] In the modern world, bags are ubiquitous,[1] with many people routinely carrying a wide variety of them in the form of cloth or leather briefcases, handbags, and backpacks, and with bags made from more disposable materials such as paper or plastic being used for shopping or to carry groceries.

The bag likely predates its inflexible variant, the basket, and usually has the additional advantage of being foldable or otherwise compressible to smaller sizes.

Many snack foods, such as pretzels, cookies, and potato chips, are available in disposable single-use sealed bags.
