Which brand of trash bag do upper class people use?

I had a friend whose family has had money for generations. They are very upper class and only do upper class things. They use a brand called "Simple Human" which is only sold at boutiques and so most people don't know about it.

I only use Simple Human bags in my house now too because Mother did not raise me to be trash about my trash.

It's late in the work day for me: Is R1 a subtle parodist, or a fucking idiot?

Who gives a RAT'S ASS?

I highly doubt that the upper class has any idea what kind of trash bags the housekeepers use

The best people use buckets and pronounce them boo-kays!

I thought those commercials in the 1990’s ? For Hefty bags were 🤩.

Hefty Hefty Hefty- Wimpy Wimpy Wimpy

When I was a gayling back in 1934, we would go to my aunt and uncle's house--my uncle was an industrialist and owned a factory in town and they lived in a big house on a hill overlooking our city. The factory had been in my uncle's family for almost 100 years at that point and their widgets were sold all over the globe.

Rather than use trash bags, Aunt Matilda would have the servants bring the plates out to the garden, where Angus, their Scots gardener, would use the table scraps as fertilizer.

I believe this is common among the upper classes and allows them to avoid having actual trash in their homes.

Plastic garbage bags, mother used to day, are for arrivistes and trash.!!!

My point exactly R6

High class people would not buy trash bags with slapstick comedy commercials.

Simple Human trash bags brought to you by Walmart.

I use 3 mil construction bags. Never spring a leak and holds everything!

they didn't have trash bags in 1934. Plastic bags weren't invented until the 1950. We didn't use plastic trash bags until the late 60's.

R10- I use strong leaf bags for my kitchen garbage bags- the one they sell at Costco are really good.

What color is upper class poop? What is the upper class’s favorite sexual position? What is the upper class’s favorite color? Why does anyone but a poser really care?

Brabantia.

I’d put my trash in you, OP but you seem like the 99 cent only store type

R11 is right. Growing up, my mother used paper grocery sacks to line the trash cans, with newspaper at the bottom.

Even though it says "parody thread" at OP....

Due to the bad influences suffered on this very gay website, I exclusively discard my waste into Boulder brand trash bags.

R7 - you must be ANCIENT. 1934? There is someone on DL who remembers 1934?

Also R7, that was back then. I remember when my partner was alive in the mid 1990's how he would insist that plastic bags be used for trash. He was from an old family that had come from Spain to Mexico in the 1700's. They certainly weren't trash and he was a world-renowned OBGYN. By then, recycling them had become something you would see more educated people do in France and the Scandinavian countries. They even had a mount in which people could store and re-use them at IKEA so as to spread the message to the masses.

In 1892, my grandmother was born into a family that survived by subsistence farming in Northern Indiana. As far from the upper class as one could be at that time.

I grew up helping her bury the day's organic waste in her vegetable garden. No servants required, R7. No gardener needed.

Don't use them other than in the bathrooms and the small bin in the bedroom I keep in a bedside cabinet. Those all take small liners and I buy anything I can find that fits and I certainly don't pay much for them. I had a trash compactor installed in the kitchen years ago and it takes paper liners. Only have to empty it once every week to 2 weeks. One of the best household purchase I ever made.

In River Oaks, darling, we only put our trash out in Jamail's bags.

R7 was also meant as satire

The problem with Datalounge is that so many actual posts sound like satire, it's hard to spot the ones that intentionally are.

Trash can liners are low-class. So are paper towels. The line is drawn with tp which is perfectly acceptable.

Maybe for Americans R26

Here in Europe we use bidets.

Mink or sable trash bags

I find the Glad drawstring bags so recherché.

True old money still uses galvanized steel trash cans, and they themselves (gasp!) never touch them.

Plastic bags? Oh, the plebeian horror.

Galvanized steel? Pfffft. Dead common.

We of the true elite have enameled steel receptacles which, after use, are scrubbed and sanitized by our servants.

In the UK almost everything is recycled we currently have 5 recycling bins. Every house has a full set.

I have mine hand-made by blind nuns in Switzerland.

Kirkland, the one that's 3 mils thick.

There's some kind of Austrian-certified biodegradable plastic. They're green-colored. TUV is the Austrian company.

R35 We get given those bags for free in the UK, never put anything wet in them they disintegrate.

If it's someone with money they buy the cheapest kind bc it's not like they have to touch it.

If it's a working plebe like me who has to toss his own trash into the bin then I use the unscented stretchy bags that are supposed to withstand anything. They're made by Glad or Hefty.

All of my trash is sent back on the Mayflower

R36, thing is, well, the one very rich family I know who uses them is actually quite wasteful, in that they're emptied every day even if they're not filled much. I actually asked my friend, the youngest son, about this. I don't know: on the one hand, they're increasing demand for biodegradable plastic, but on the other I mean they're using more of it needlessly.

Wimpy! Wimpy wimpy!!!

R39 If you are using biodegradable plastic bags for food waste you pretty much have to empty the every day, as soon as they become even slightly damp they begin to fall apart very quickly.

If you take the environmental cost of manufacturing them into account, they aren't any better than a normal bag that you could use for a few days, paper would probably be a better option.

Paper bags release methane when they decompose in a landfill. Not good.

Many American cities have stopped doing recycling and more and more are going that way. They've found the cost vs the benefit is way out of line.

What is a "trash bag?"

Don't you just put your trash in a trash can that the help cleans daily and returns to its proper location? If it were just a bag, wouldn't it fall over and make a mess?

Is that why the poors always seem to live in filth? You'd think they'd have someone to clean up. The poors and their quirkiness - trash bags. LMAO.

432- You have to drag 5 cans to the street? Every week? NO FANK YEW!

R32- You have to drag 5 cans to the street? Every week? NO FANK YEW!

[quote] Don't you just put your trash in a trash can

True upper class people don't throw away their own trash R44

That's what the help is for

R46 No not every week they are emptied on a 3 week schedule (if we're lucky). Food/Garden waste is every week and one of the others. We are apparently going to eventually end up with 7 bins by 2023 (some areas already have that many).

Trash sorting is almost a part-time job here in the UK, Wednesday mornings are very noisy though with all of the trucks and bins being wheeled around.

Real rich people throw their trash on the ground and have their maids pick it up. Remember Versailles didn't have toilets, when the nobility had to go they'd find a nice corner to drop a deuce.

I have the staff get the cheapo bags at the Target. You don't hold onto a fortune by splurging on trash bags!

If your last name is Vanderbilt, you apparently don't hold on to your fortune at all...
