Why does double bagging groceries work? Isn’t the second bag carrying not only the load of the groceries but also the load of the bag?
In: Engineering
Double bagging produces strengths in several ways. There’s the increased strength of the handles in supporting the weight, but a single bag usually can support the weight. Some items in the bag may be sharp, have corners or put more pressure in an area. These areas can burst out of a single bag. You are then stranded with some items broken and not enough pockets to carry the survivors. The extra bag is comforting insurance in most cases and disaster prevention in others.
