Completely out of bags so we dug around the basement for these bad boys. Last used in 1998. (reddit.com)

You have a basement at your store?!
LZARDKING [OP] 156 points 1y ago
No, just in our building. Only the building manager has access to it. But we keep our like summer patio furniture in there and apparently a box of 24 year old bags.

You have SEASONAL patio furniture?
LZARDKING [OP] 7 points 1y ago
I mean yeah we don’t put patio furniture out in the snow

My store has a basement! We have a second floor with more seating, too. Our store is in a downtown area so that’s probably why, lol. We have a massive store room, which is great because we’re really busy most of the year.

Wow, some photographic proof how good Starbucks used to be. These bags are prettier and cozy tbh

I wonder if these are collectible and worth anything.

With a quick eBay search, looks like they sell for 20 bucks a piece

No way

Is that food safe?

My thoughts exactly

With the amount of dust the box and bags have been collecting over a 30ish year period I’d say no.

A relic

Sell that on eBay. Starbucks collectors or price gougers will go insane lol

Lmao so is mine!! I live with my grandparents around the corner from my store, and they said that store has been there since they moved in...in 1996. I was born in 2001.

Woah, love the design! ..... concerned about putting food in them.
Lmao sell them online, use 10% of funds to buy paper bags from the store

Nice!

The copyright date of 1998 doesn't mean the bags are that old. Still that's fascinating!

Holyfuck. Remember when Starbucks had a SOUL? I miss the interior design with all the metal sirens and steamy swirls everywhere 🥺

THESE ARE AWESOME!!! I say we go back to these❤️

Those are the Lemley bags! He’s the guy who did all the graphic design during that time. I’ve got an old etagere in my basement with that same leaf design.

That’s incredible. How are there bags from over 20 years ago still laying around though? Lol
