This is the correct answer. The sides of the bag are held together by a static charge. Wetting your fingers allows you to dissipate the charge, so the sides come apart.
Comment on I'm still not sure how to do this actually oh wait maybe... nope.

The struggle is real.
…the easiest way to open these IME, is to lightly lick your thumb and the neighboring finger. This makes the respective sides of the bag stick to them for easier opening.

When masks were mandatory, I couldn’t do this and tried for over a minute to open the damn bag.
I found that if I start with the cold vegetable, I could use their moisture to wet my fingers.

The produce is all wet. Just touch the thing youre going to buy to get your fingers wet - not lick it you foul fuck

I’m guessing your supermarket uses those fog thingies? They’re not used everywhere, i.e. not all produce is wet.

Only places that have those foggers have produce bags.

You are a jerk.
Also, I don’t touch produce. When I deal with these plastic bags, I am using them to line my thermal bag, to carry home my hot meal of fried or glazed chicken. This is because the carrying pouch the store puts the chicken into has air holes - which means that my thermal bag would get dirty.

OK that was a bit much. I thought you were saying you went and licked your fingers each time you opened the bag just before squeezing the store tomatoes to find the right one.

you sick fuck. who fondles their fruits and veg at the store?
I usually molest them in the bathroom before checkout.
the high pressure flush cleans them right up before I put them back in my ass.
