OK, Bag Monster is a moronic name, but Monster has become a catch-all phrase for "Hey, this will help you do something" This section will help you find the bags you're looking for (like you're really looking for them). Leaving everything blank will retrieve a list of all bags, however that may cause the page to load slowly.

Barfboro

Approximate Vintage: 1989
Received From: Everly
Print or Image Color: Red and Black
Background / Bag Color: White
Another amazing bag that makes my heart sing. The utter variety of special bags out there is unmatched in other design venues. First note that "Barfboro" is bleeding. This bag is ostensibly a pack of Marlboro cigarettes. Confusion reigns as the bag seems to be exhorting doctors to rail against cigarette advertising, but only doctors from Houston.

Barfboro

Approximate Vintage: 1989
Received From: Andrew Angel
Print or Image Color: Red and Black
Background / Bag Color: White
Just like the other Barfboro bags except this one has a different Houston-area phone number than the other one sporting contact info. Also note that the bottom SNOWWHITE logo is black instead of red for some reason.

Bark Bag (Mutt Muffs)

Approximate Vintage: 2006
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
At first glance, this appears to be a doggy bag to put leftovers in. At second glance, it appears to be a bag for dog poop. But upon closer examination, it's a bona fide Air Sickness Bag that advertises Mutt Muffs, which are earmuffs for dogs that you take on planes.

The bag says, "Bark" Bag. IN the BAG, NOT in the plane. IN the BAG, NOT in the plane. IN the BAG, NOT in the plane. If you are having a "round trip meal", or feel the need to "un-eat"...

  1. Open the bag (very important step)
  2. Launch your Lunch, Toss your Tacos, Buy a Buick, and call Uncle Ralph

Don't be embarrassed, it's just an "out of stomach" experience. You know... "Dribbles and Bits".

Batavia

Approximate Vintage: 2004
Received From: Gilles Beger
Print or Image Color: Purple
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag looks like a generic version of Mandala, except it's purpler, if that's a word.

Batavia

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Gilles Beger
Print or Image Color: Navy, White
Background / Bag Color: White, Navy
Interesting stylized B-clouds adorn the bag's front.

Batavia

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Paul Mundy
Print or Image Color: White, Orange
Background / Bag Color: Orange, White
This bag has a logo comprised of either clouds or a pompadour.

Batavia Air

Approximate Vintage: 2012
Received From: Janusz Tichoniuk
Print or Image Color: Orange, White
Background / Bag Color: White, Orange
Excellent flowery designs grace this Indonesian carrier's exterior. Unfortunately, Batavia goes out of business in early 2013.

Beatles Anthology

Approximate Vintage: 1996
Received From: Phillip Marks

Help!

No, not the song, I need help with this bag. Does anyone know its origin? It seems like an odd way to market the Beatles. AC/DC maybe, but the Beatles? Is it really even a barf bag? Is seems structually able to be used as one, but it has been suggested that it's just a popcorn bag.

In fact, a puke lover named Darren says, "bags were sent out as a promo item to certain videostore chains in conjunction with the release of the "Beatles Anthology" on home video. That way as an incentive to get buyers into their stores, those video retailers that have popcorn machines could offer a free bag of popcorn in the special bags to any customer purchasing the video set. I hope that helps or at least doesn't shatter the illusion of owning a truly unique Beatle barf bag. Hey, at least they still have the allusion to an airsickness bag in the lyrics to "Back in the U.S.S.R."

Belair

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: Oliver Preuss
Much like the Fotobags of BalairCTA, Crossair, and Swiss. This bag says they've been in business 32 years, which translates to a 2002 bag.

Belair

Approximate Vintage: 2004
Received From: Gerhard Lang
This Fotobag is different in design from others in that the self-standing bottom is missing. This updated bag says they've now been in business 34 years, which translates to 2004.

Belavia

Approximate Vintage: 2012
Received From: Vidas Vekerotas
Background / Bag Color: Black
While barf bag collectors hate the plain white bags, most of us also hate these plain black (plastic) bags as well.

Bellview

Approximate Vintage: 2006
Received From: Matthias Koch
Print or Image Color: Black, Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Two nice gulls flying in synchonicity adorn this bag, which has the rare italicized Copyright seal on it.

Bend Cycle Cab

Approximate Vintage: 2008
Received From: John Flannery
Print or Image Color: Black, Red, Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
This is the only bag I know of that is used on a bicycle of all things. Bend Cycle Cab escorts people around Bend, OR on a pedi-cab, upon which these are found.

Berjaya Air

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: Christian Funch
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Navy
According to Christian, "Berjaya Air is an airline from Malaysia operating a single Dash-7 aircraft. Plus some domestic routes withing Malaysia, they also operate a daily service between the island of Tioman and Singapore (Seletar Airport)"

I personally am enamored with the Hi-Q logo and the happy Valujet-looking plane on the back. The only bag I am aware of that is manufactured in Singapore (home of donors Rick Barry and Gary Bergstrom).

Berline

Received From: Thomas Blickle
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Bag features 5 blue planes flying in formation. Could they be the Blue Angels? For some reason, the word 'line' is bold, as in Berline.

Beyond (The)

Approximate Vintage: 2000
Received From: Joseph Ortega
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Anchor Bay Entertainment releases a film called The Beyond. With it, a bag. This bag is part of the Lucio Fulci collection. Who is Lucio Fulci? Hell if I know, but his name comes up a lot when you search for horror films with barf bags.

This bag says, "Due to the intense and shocking nature of this film, individuals with sensitive constitutions may experience stomach distress." It also taunts you with "CAN YOU TAKE IT?" As a PS, the bag says, "Note: This bag is intended for one-time use only. Please do not overfill.", which is odd because, Like Cannibal Ferox, this bag is Renewable, Recyclable, and Reusable.

Bhutan Airlines

Approximate Vintage: 2015
Received From: Samantha Aeschbach
Print or Image Color: Yellow, Orange, Gray
Background / Bag Color: White
An extremely ornate bag featuring a fish (flounder?) on a stylized river sporting bold colors.

BIA British Island Airways

Received From: Ian Wheadon
Print or Image Color: Brown, Orange
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag is reasonably old as you can tell by the old 'gummy strip' technology used for bag closure.

BIA British Island Airways

Approximate Vintage: 1990
Received From: T Parker
Print or Image Color: Pink, Brown
Background / Bag Color: White
British Island Airways went out of business in 1990, but not before they released this gem covered in razor stubble.
