Movie, video and showbags
Movie barfbags come in two types: ones to use in case
the horror flick your partner conned you into seeing is too gross, and
ones that hold popcorn for you to snack on before you throw up.

Claims to be the Official Popcorn Bag of the
presidential flyer. I thought George Bush snacked on pretzels?
The reverse is packed with details about the real Air
Force One: 4000 square feet of interior floor space and 2 fully equipped
surgical operating rooms. If you make it to one of the six lavatories in
time, you won't need this bag.

From a TV series of the same name aired on the A&E network. "Like this
bag, we capture the drama of flying". This bag was an insert in an issue of
the American magazine Entertainment Weekly. (The black image is the
magazine page it was stuck to.)
Apparently, the Denver Post thought this series "sticks out from
the mid-winter lineup like a barf bag on a bumpy flight."

For use just in case nostalgia for the Sixties gets the
better of you.

This VOMIT BAG will enable YOU to SEE... Positively The Most VIOLENT
Film Ever Made!
There's a blurry red photo of a bunch of scantily clad, long-haired
people gnawing on what is presumably human flesh. Ooh, gruesome.
Thanks to Bruce Kelly. |

"Warning", it says, "The stunts in this
movie were performed by professionals, so neither you nor your dumb
buddies should attempt anything from this movie."
Looks like a good enough reason not to go to see it.
The reverse features pictures showing how to use the
bag. If only regular barfbags were this communicative, I'm sure puke
spillage and airline cleaning bills would plummet.

"This VOMIT BAG and the PRICE of one ADMISSION will enable YOU to
SEE... the first film rated V for violence", says this bag.
"Guaranteed to upset your stomach... positively the most HORRIFYING
film ever made... See it soon at a theatre near you." What a
tasteless bag... Hey, if I wanted an upset stomach, I'd prefer to take a
trip on the QE2.
Thanks to Steve Silberberg.

Another edition of the Oscar-winner for nasty design. Made by Union Camp
(whoever that is).
Thanks to Christian and Gerhard Lang. (2004) |

You'll have to go to Solothurn in Switzerland to get one
of these bags. Has the price of a ticket (32 francs) and the opening time
of the bar (from 19:30). Check out the show beforehand at www.nevercomebackairline.ch.
Thanks to Walter Brinker.

"One sick flick" proclaims this bag:
"Scary people wanted... vote for Britains scariest looking person at
amiscaryornot on www.thesun.co.uk.
Post your picture to get your scary rating." Pretty weird if you ask
me.
The Sun, by the way, is a British newspaper most
politely described as "down-market". Unclear whether
you're supposed to use this bag in case of stomach upset while watching
the movie, or in case you feel the urge to puke while reading The Sun.

"Because of the intense nature of this film,
stomach distress may occur. Vomit bag for use when viewing When the
Screaming Stops."
Sounds as if a bumpy Aeroflot flight might be more fun
than seeing the film.
