bread bags

Sliced loaf packaging

Bread bags are the plastic bags that packaged bread comes in.

The term gained brief political notoriety in 2015 when a U.S. senator reminisced about wearing bread bags over her shoes to keep them dry—an image of rural frugality that struck some as folksy and others as performative.

Bread bags are commonly reused for storing food or picking up after dogs.
