Grocery store urges customers to rethink plastic with embarrassing bags.

Customers who don’t bring their own bags to the East West Market in Vancouver will instead have to carry their grocery home in bags reading “Wart Ointment Wholesale” or “Into the Weird Adult Video Emporium”. The bags are meant to force customers to think twice about consumption habits. The store points out that millions of plastic bags are used once before being discarded, creating the problem of plastic waste. Canada is grappling with a deluge of plastics which cannot be recycled and instead end up in landfills.
