Bag Monster

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.

Jackass (2nd German variation)

Approximate Vintage: 2003
Received From: Stefani Caspary
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
The 2nd German version of the celebrated stupid movie, Jackass. Alex Kowatsch of Hamburg translates as follows:

Front: The Jackass Barf Bag

Back: What am I gonna do with a Jackass Barf Bag?

[First Picture] First, have a seat in your chair. Make sure your backrest is in an upright position, and that it's even there anymore. Then, shut up as the greatest movie of all times is about to begin. Silence anyone who is laughing already!

[Second Picture] Huh? You didn't imagine the movie to be this primitive, repulsive and disgusting? Maybe you thought this would be one of those trashy chick-flicks or a hardcore action movie for crazy gearheads? We're sorry that you feel sick now. But maybe it's the rotten popcorn or your neighbors bad breath.

[Third Picture] What a mess! (Literal translation would be 'There we have the salad!') Or did you eat anything else before this? Anyways, now you know why you had to take a Jackass Barf Bag with you to the movies. This movie just isn't for sensible people with weak stomachs. But hey, at least the bag can hold a lot of stuff.

Jackass (Bob Duff UK DVD release)

This bag is fresh off the press, and as you can see from the bag's bottom, it's "Produced with pride by Bob Duff". Apparently, the DVD release of Jackass necessitated yet another sickbag. This one says, "You'll laugh. You'll hurl. You'll laugh again." Another winning bag.

Jackass (David Walker UK DVD release)

Approximate Vintage: 2003

Unlike the other Jackass UK bag, this on is "Produced with pride by David Walker". Apparently, the DVD release of Jackass necessitated yet another sickbag. This one says, "You'll laugh. You'll hurl. You'll laugh again." Another winning bag.

Jackass (German release - Die Jackass Kotztüte)

Approximate Vintage: 2002

The German version of the celebrated stupid movie, Jackass. Can someone translate the ostensibly humorous content on the back of this bag? I hope it's worth the time to figure out what it says -- the pictographs are funny, maybe the copy is too.

As always, a generous air sickness bag afficionado comes along. Alex Kowatsch of Hamburg translates as follows:

Front: The Jackass Barf Bag

Jackass (USA release)

Excellent bag that sports a skull and crossbones and was part of the movie's promo kit. The bag warns, "WARNING: The stunts in this movie were perfomred by professionals, so neither you nor your dumb buddies should attempt anything from this movie." Much different than the UK version of this bag.

Jadrolinija Rijeka Hrvatska

Received From: Ralph Riffenburgh
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
You can tell this is an old bag because this ferry line is Croatian ... no longer from "Jugoslavija" as the bag tells you. The bag is huge, so maybe they used to serve an unlimited buffet.

Japan Air Lines

Identical to this bag, except a blue tab is used instead of a tear strip. There is also text on the bottom of this bag exhorting one to use this bag for trash.

Identical to this bag, except for a variation in the tear strip.

This bag pre-dates the 'lots of parallel lines' design weltanschuuang predominant in subsequent JAL bags.

Much like the 1982 offering, except no tear strip or tab. Straight top.

I love that they printed an arrow that points to, you guessed it, another arrow.

Japan Air Lines

Approximate Vintage: 1983
Received From: Edward C Hibbs
Print or Image Color: Orange Tab
Lots of 80's straight parallel lines. They changed the closing mechanism from 2 tabs to 1, and the fastidious Japanese altered the diagram to show the extra tab!

Japan Air Lines

Received From: Jo Boyd
Print or Image Color: Blue with Blue Tab
Background / Bag Color: White
Identical to the 1983 version except the tab is now blue.

Japan Air Lines

Approximate Vintage: 1995
Received From: Ken Costilow
Print or Image Color: Red and Black
Background / Bag Color: White
The bag says 'This may be used also for air sickness.' Hey, what a novel idea!

Japan Air Lines

Approximate Vintage: 1999
Print or Image Color: Red and Black
Background / Bag Color: White
Same as 1995 bag, except mechanism reverts to a tab, instead of tear off.

After two decades of parallel lines on their bags, JAL finally excises them for this cleaner version with what looks like a hyperactive hair growing out of their logo.

Old Logo surrounded by flowers.

This Waterproof Disposal Bag has all sorts of non-English instructions in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and some other language that looks like Chinese. Maybe you can weigh-in on this conundrum and let me know the mystery language.

I'm really not much a fan of the pegboard design, but it is very representative of Japanese design, aesthetically.
