In the right (or wrong) parts of town I guess that’s true. 🤷‍♀️😅

Why would they use decorative retail bags tho? Everyone knows what the brown paper bag around the tall boy looks like and it surely isn’t the bag you’d expect your products from urban outfitters to come in.

All I’m saying is the bag in the photo probably costa 3-4 bucks and looks like it’s from some artisanal coffee shop.

Nobody’s putting a tall boy or a 40 in that bag.

I mean obviously you don’t know about the famous Bagby Brown Bag Company in The Bagtown section of Baltimore! LEGENDARY. Known for being the PLAINEST brown paper bags in the business — no small feat!!

Named after Ogden Bagby, just in case there was any confusion (total coincidence he worked in the bag industry — came from a long line of astrolabe tuners).

It was so well known they almost renamed the city “Bagtimore”, with a city anthem “In the bag in Bagtimore!”.

Next you’ll be telling me you don’t know about Archibald Pescocero, the squid mayor (1887-1888; sadly assassinated, fried, and eaten) or the horrifying wiener schnitzel hurricane of aught six??!!

Kids these days, am I right??!! 🙄

I heard you could still see the weiner hurricane at the Hippo before it closed.

It’s obviously representing shopping. The post seems to have a link to presumably a list of things to do.

No, it's pretty obvious that the thing is an Instagram Story with a link to a list of things to do and that those are shopping bags. The above commenter even edited their comment to say "shopping" when it originally only said "plain paper bags." If you think it takes the CEO who themselves definitely didn't make that social media post to figure that out, that's on you.
