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?

I would use nylon rope that could only lift 500lbs to lift 2,000lbs. How? I wrapped it around a few times. The weight would be distributed through each wrap. Meaning that each wrap was lifting less than 500lbs. But combined they lifted the 2000lbs.
Also, this was with a forklift. I’m not claiming that I lifted 2,000lbs by hand.
