Merpati

Approximate Vintage: 2007

Background / Bag Color: White
Merpati goes seriously generic AND plastic. I can't tell you any more about the bag, but they give you an info number if you'd like to call to find out more.

Lots of orange birds fly all over this bag. I was going to count them all, but even a barfbag collector has a limit to how much time they'll waste.

Metallic Blue Generic

Cool metallic blue, like a sports car. Manufactured by Rigaplast in Spain, the instructions are comprehensive to the point of showing how to hold your hand daintily during every step of the process.

Metallic Green Generic

I love this bag because it uses my favorite term for motion sickness: Emesis. Manufactured by Rigaplast in Spain, the instructions are comprehensive to the point of showing how to hold your hand daintily during every step of the process.

Mexicana

Background / Bag Color: White
This flimsy bag is bolstered by a heavy duty plastic handle, as if you're going to use it to bring a treat to Grandma.

I pity the poor soul who had to use this if they were ill. Although it's tough to see on the scan, there is an enormous handhold cut out of the bag for your hand, so you can clutch the contents as though it were a six-pack. There is no obvious way to seal this bag, and there is no flat bottom which might allow you to put it on a level surface. Using this bag is barely better than barfing in your hands. Identical to this bag but the black rectangle is on the bottom left instead of bottom right.

This is kind of the best of the bunch for the red Mexicana bags. It's plastic and has tabs to seal in the freshness.

A large rendition of the tripod raptor logo. Bold, clean bag.

Continental-like bag with a cool Mayan logo.

Mexicana

Approximate Vintage: 1999

Went to plastic. The model airplane-like instructions actuallly make sense.

Identical to the 1999 version, except they added a serif 'p' on the back of the bag. Why do they do nonsensical things like this?

Mexicana

Approximate Vintage: 2009

Print or Image Color: Blue, Navy
Background / Bag Color: White
Mexicana revamps its bag. It's still plastic, but they've added the website as well as
  • Bolsa de mareo
  • Airsickness bag
  • Sac pour le mal de l'air

Not sure why they saw the need to print the lighter blue as it adds nothing of substance to the bag.

Mexicana Click

Much like the previous versions of Mexicana, but they've added the word Click. I have no idea why. Maybe they meant Clique, as if you're in some kind of cruel barfing club.

This bag says "aaaghh...! aaaghhh...! aaaghhhh...!", the sounds of suffering just prior to using this receptacle.

Wow, MIAT changes their bag ever so slightly. They remove the circle from the logo and replace the letter A's crossbar with a hint of fallen red. The uncircled logo now looks like a mouse pointer gone haywire.

Very similar to earlier offerings but now the logo has an orange background for some reason. I will never understand product branding.

Mid Airlines

Received From: Gilles Beger

Background / Bag Color: White
I'm not sure what the deal is with Egyptian carriers calling themselves 'Mid' or 'Midwest', but they seem to have a fixation about it. Nice after dinner mint logo that should have been printed in red.
