“I had a line outside my store an hour before we opened.”
One lucky customer manages to walk away with several in each hand.
And let me tell ya, people areveryobsessed.

Many are suggesting that it’s the perfect size to hold your lunch.
So I got my sisters and nieces matching Trader Joes small tote bags.
Also so my nieces can match their Tio when I take them out.

Other Trader Joe’s employees have also been documenting their experiences with the sudden hype.
Someone commented that there was a line outside their store an hour before it even opened.
Some are even running into issues with over-eager customers who are upset about the bag-per-person limit.

It’s tricky to tell if this in-store chaos is regional.
Others have shared my experience, with one TikTok user mentioning that their store was “soooo chill.”
But if you were looking to snag one, you might be out of luck.

Word on the street (read: ther/traderjoessubreddit) is that the bags might not return until 2025.
The Trader Joe’s website also has them listed as “not available.”
