Right. Thin plastic to thick plastic is 0.5 to 2.5. That's a factor of 5, I guessed 6, off by one. The factor of 40 you originally cited is based off the site

The factor of 40 you originally cited is based off the site's 20 mil figure for actual reusable bags.
It's ok to misread, no need to play the victim when both your comments make it clear what happened

At what point were we discussing thin vs thick bags? I thought the whole point of the conversation was talking about regular bags vs reusable bags? >It's ok to misread, no need to play the victim when both your comments make it clear what happened This is an absolutely bizarre accusation to make. I'm not sure how asking someone to re-read a source is "play[ing] the victim", especially when it's in response to a comment asking the same thing. If anyone is engaging in bad faith accusations, it's you.

In the article's words: > ... a section of the law [allows] grocery stores and large retailers to provide thicker, heavier-weight plastic bags ... These “reusable” bags are made from a material known as HDPE, which is thicker and heavier than the LDPE plastic bags of yore. The bags in question here are the 2.5 mil bags, the 40 mil bags are what others are calling "bag for life" bags, e.g. the typical style of bag someone would buy elsewhere and proactively bring to the store with them
