Who knew?

And I so don't get it...

Why $2.99 Trader Joe’s mini tote bags are selling for hundreds and taking over TikTok

The bags are the latest unexpected viral accessories to have taken off in the last year.

I don’t get it either. We, and probably most people, acquire a multiplicity of tote bags over time without even thinking about it. Why you would pursue a TJ bag and pay a premium for it is beyond me.

These kinds of things are so random. And organic -- by which I mean, hard for someone to make it happen. But then once they happen, they just explode! Like the Stanley Cup thing.

Same. The Trader Joes bags are "meh" and the Stanley cups are worse than meh, they're heavy, awkward and inconvenient! suave
