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.

CityBird

Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Green
Background / Bag Color: White
Ah yes, the Flying Dream. Is that for when you're in bed sleeping, dream that you can fly, and suddenly wake up nauseous? This defunct Belgian air sickness bag is eerily reminiscent of DutchBird.

Class of Nuke 'Em High

Approximate Vintage: 1986
Received From: Andrew Chrysostomou
Print or Image Color: Green
Background / Bag Color: White
Well I don't really even know if this is a barf bag or not. It was advertised as such, so I snapped it up. The Class of Nuke 'Em High is a humor/gore movie that was released in 1986 about a school where people turn into mutants. So it stands to reason that they may have tried to promote it with a barf bag, but who really knows? The bag exhorts you to 'Be Prepared" for the movie, as if you're a boy scout or something.

Clean Up Waste Bag

Print or Image Color: Green, White
Background / Bag Color: White, Green
I have no idea where this bag is used, but it's from the UK and has a cross on it, indicating it's medical somehow.

Click

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Navy, Orange
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag displays the word "aaaghh...!" on it three times in big letters. However, I think they are trying to relate a fascination with flying rather than the stomach upset which comes to mind.

Clickair

Approximate Vintage: 2012
Received From: Janusz Tichoniuk
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Blue
Cool bluish-teal bag that says "vuela inteligente" which I think means "smart vagina".

Club Air

Approximate Vintage: 2006
Received From: Cedrick Gauthier-Lacognata
Print or Image Color: Navy
Background / Bag Color: White
This bag does a yeoman's job of transforming line art into a beautiful logo. I don't understand Italian, so it appears that the bag tells you to take the bag to the bathroom when flying, and then tells you to 'giugno' your Bologne sandwich into the bag (if you wre born in '89).

CNWA (China Northwest Airlines)

Received From: Christoph Vogel
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Identical to CNWA Orange version except that there is no closing mechanism. Is that a flying mermaid?

YL Tan gives a resounding "no". It's Chinese fairy! The long trailing tail-like things are the ends of her long skirt and scarf.

CNWA (China Northwest Airlines)

Received From: Christoph Vogel
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Identical to CNWA Blue version except that the closing mechanism is an orange tab. Is that a flying mermaid?

YL Tan gives a resounding "no". It's Chinese fairy! The long trailing tail-like things are the ends of her long skirt and scarf.

CNWA (China Northwest Airlines)

Received From: Ralph Riffenburgh
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Identical to CNWA Blue version except that the closing mechanism is an orange tab and the fairy is now red. Is that a flying mermaid?

YL Tan gives a resounding "no". It's Chinese fairy! The long trailing tail-like things are the ends of her long skirt and scarf.

CNWA (China Northwest Airlines)

Approximate Vintage: 1997
Received From: Linda Phillips
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Feature the 'Earth as a Bulkie Roll' logo.

According to bag donor David Labarge, "I have a distinct memory of the CNWA jet, which was a Russian-built aircraft. It had a lime green and dark brown interior (enough to make one puke) and as the passengers deplaned, the cabin crew folded all the seatbacks down like lawn chairs. It was surreal."

Although this bag looks identical to the other 'Earth as a Bulkie Roll' bag, this one has no flat bottom.

CNWA (China Northwest Airlines)

Approximate Vintage: 2000

They changed the phone number on the back of the bag.

CNWA (China Northwest Airlines)

Approximate Vintage: 2001
Received From: Ralph Riffenburgh
Print or Image Color: Blue and Red
Background / Bag Color: White
They added a country code to the phone number on the back of the bag.

According to bag donor David Labarge, "I have a distinct memory of the CNWA jet, which was a Russian-built aircraft. It had a lime green and dark brown interior (enough to make one puke) and as the passengers deplaned, the cabin crew folded all the seatbacks down like lawn chairs. It was surreal."

Coastal

Approximate Vintage: 2011
Received From: Ray Brunsberg
Print or Image Color: Black, Red, Green
Background / Bag Color: White
The red "O" looks more like a Coaster than reminiscent of Coastal.

Colony Wars

Approximate Vintage: 1997
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
In November 1997, a Video Game named Colony Wars was released. This bag was sent out with the promo package and exhorts, "recommended for rookies".

Con Air

Approximate Vintage: 1997
Received From: Ken Brown
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: White
At long last I finally got one, a promotional barf bag from the 1997 movie Con Air. Comes complete with text saying "A Jerry Bruckheimer Production" and "©Touchstone Pictures"

Condor

Approximate Vintage: 2010
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Hey, a winky-face! It's as if to say, "You got sick, but we both will keep it a secret". Bag says, "Das wird schon wieder!"

Identical to other Condor winky-face, but this bag has a flat bottom which allows it to stand up.

Condor

Approximate Vintage: 2013
Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Clean version of German carrier Condor, but the writing is upside down in case the stomach turns around (so to speak).

Condor

Approximate Vintage: 2012
Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
All will be fine! This bag exhorts "Alles wird gut!" 16 times on each side of the bag, like a mantra while you're throwing up.

A half-eaten Santa with "Pretty Christmas Presents" printed on the bag. I think it loses something in translation.
