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.

Meridiana

Approximate Vintage: 2001
Received From: Nicola Ottolini
Print or Image Color: White and Orange
Background / Bag Color: Purple
Nice color again. Looks somewhat like the cut grass on a purple baseball diamond (if you're high).

Meridiana

Approximate Vintage: 2012
Received From: Wolfgang Lüthje
Print or Image Color: Black, Blue, Orange
Background / Bag Color: White
Newer version of Meridiana sporting same old logo except bigger. Now they are sponsored by Valontan which is some kind of motion sickness medicine. If you read the advertisement carefully, Valontan apparently comes as a suppository -- yay!

Merpati

Background / Bag Color: White and Aqua
The smallest bag next to Garuda. The Merpati logo looks a little like abstract whale baleen.

Merpati

Approximate Vintage: 2002

Print or Image Color: Orange and Blue
Background / Bag Color: White and Blue
Interestingly, the bag tells you to "get the feeling", although a more friendly message would be to "avoid the feeling". Bag displays 6 orange cilia.

Merpati

Apparently, Merpati executives felt it was better if you didn't "Get the Feeling", as they did on the previous incantation of this bag.

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.

Merpati

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

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Artur Garriga
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: Blue
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

Approximate Vintage: 2005
Received From: Artur Garriga
Print or Image Color: Black
Background / Bag Color: Green
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

Received From: Robert Masumura
Print or Image Color: Black and Red
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.

Mexicana

Approximate Vintage: 1987
Received From: Alan Laves

Background / Bag Color: White
Continental-like bag with a cool Mayan logo.

Mexicana

Approximate Vintage: 1999
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Went to plastic. The model airplane-like instructions actuallly make sense.

Mexicana

Approximate Vintage: 2000
Received From: Steve Thompson
Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
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
Received From: David Shomper
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

Approximate Vintage: 2010
Received From: Bruce Kelly
Print or Image Color: Blue, Navy
Background / Bag Color: White
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.

Mexicana Click

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