surprise bag

Blind loot sack

A surprise bag is a sealed bag containing unknown items, typically sold as a novelty or promotional offer.

The appeal lies in not knowing what you'll get—it might be leftover merchandise, random toys, or mystery snacks: The bakery sells surprise bags of day-old pastries at half price.

Food rescue apps use the term for discounted bags of unsold items from restaurants and grocery stores.
