" Between public and private tours, co-workers, and colleagues from other magazines, we have lots of visitors and on-lookers here at the Institute. And while people usually keep a respectful distance while we&amp;#039;re working in our labs, no project has generated more interest (or more interruptions) than our testing of the Debbie Meyer GreenBags for the October issue of Good Housekeeping. Everyone had an opinion and they ranged from &amp;quot;they&amp;#039;re a waste of money&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;my mother-in-law swears by them!&amp;quot;  We worked for weeks before we began to draw our own conclusions. Testing began over six months ago with a small mountain of produce (18 bunches each of broccoli, bananas, and carrots, 12 heads of iceberg lettuce, 36 apples, 72 red bell peppers, and 12 pints of strawberries to be exact) and required daily evaluations and photographs like these.  We used multiple samples of fruits and veggies and stored them in GreenBags, before comparing them against samples stored in their original packaging, in plastic bags from the supermarket produce department, or in zip-top storage bags. Bananas were left on the counter but everything else went onto the refrigerator shelf or into crisper drawers. We even placed bags on bouquets of flowers before leaving at night to see if they stayed fresher than flowers left uncovered. Finally we bagged loaves of bread in the Debbie Meyer BreadBags and compared them to samples left in their bakery packaging. In the end we sacrificed twelve feet of counter space and stuffed five fridges full of produce to complete our tests.
