Mostly good, one major issue...
[Original 3* review] We've been using these for years. First the good. These bags work great in our SimpleHuman trash can, and I've had no problems with them breaking. They're quite strong in fact and they're a good value for the price. On the negative side, the "kirkland" logo printed on the drawstring rubs off on my hands EVERY DAMN TIME I take the garbage out. Very annoying. If they would just use different ink, or print the logo somewhere else, these would be waste disposal perfection.
Update - 6/23/2010 - Two of the three boxes of this purchased recently have not had the logo on the drawstring. Hopefully this unnecessary "feature" is being phased out.
Update - 3/6/2011 - Never mind, last several boxes have had the printing on the drawstring again. I really wish the manufacturer would leave the logos off.
Update - 4/25/2016 - I can happily report that the logos have been gone from the drawstrings for several years now, as such, I've updated the review to 5*. Now that there is no printing on the drawstrings to rub off on my hands, these are indeed the best kitchen trash bags available. They're reasonably priced, fit my can well, and THEY NEVER FAIL! I've never had a bag rip open, not a single time, and I've been using these for years. If the bag is full of heavy items, the drawstrings may elongate to comical lengths, but they don't break either. These bags and the toilet paper are the best parts of my Costco membership.
