I agree with you, Mog, that FFVII merchandise isn't an inherently bad thing. It's just that so much of it is stupid crap. They get something like one good idea in fifty.
And I honestly see the bags as crap too, but I guess I'm relatively alone on that count.
Yeah?
Pics printed on totes are kind of common as far as merchandise goes pretty much everywhere these days.
Good for groceries instead of wasting plastic bags.
You'd need a lot of totes in lieu of plastic bags. But then I live in a household of four. Maybe others find them useful for that purpose.
Even when I was single, though, and this tote craze was kicking off, I found them useless. They were literally giving them away at my university library, some bookstores and even Walmart. And they were all crap.
The library bag? Handles tore after a couple walks across campus with schoolbooks. The ones at bookstores were too small to be useful for anything but, well, books you were buying there. And as for the Walmart totes -- again, how many groceries can you get in just one? And you try putting milk, orange juice, and some two-liters in one, then walking it up three flights of stairs to your apartment and what do you get? Another torn, shitty bag.
Maybe they make them better now, but I can't help but see them as impractical, poorly designed monstrosities. And, yeah, they're ugly as sin too. Like the Crocs of the bag kingdom.
