The Onion Tote

One hilarious way from The Onion to stand out while you shop at the local store. But seriously, despite the fact everyone knows a reusable tote is a good idea, I can still feel the eyes of people looking at me- I pretend it's envy. In the words of Mark Twain:
Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution -- these can lift at a colossal humbug -- push it a little -- weaken it a little over the course of a century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.
We often post on paper or plastic, but when it gets down to it, just bring your own tote- make a statement without saying a word. It also comes in black. ::The Onion
That guy is going to get sunburned...
this reminds me. my roommate went to the market the other day and when she went to pay told the cashier she didnt need bags. the cashier turned, glared at her and snapped "you HAVE to have bags to leave the store". my roommate snapped back and eventually won the argument, but i do think this tote would be perfect in a situation like that. as it is, i think im going to write a form letter to give to the general manager of every store we shop to explain the benefits to them and to the environment to us using reusable totes instead of their disposable bags. perhaps then they can educate their employees on proper customer service.
