7 New Ways That Flint Hipsters Can Use Hamady Sacks

If you grew up in the Flint area before the 90s, you knew what Hamady sacks were. Hell, people around here still refer to paper bags as Hamady sacks on the reg. Not only was every paper bag from anywhere known as a Hamady sack, but people used them for damn near everything.

Wanna make some popcorn? Put it in a Hamady sack. Need a cooler? Hamady sack. Need a container for the leftover goulash and all the Tupperware is dirty? You get the point.

Now that Hamady has opened a new store in town, a whole new generation will get to put those versatile little kraft paper rectangles to good use. That got me thinking about what uses a certain sub-category of these youngsters would find for Hamady sacks and thus -- this list was born. Enjoy.

Update: Hamady will be closing their doors (again) as of 9p Tuesday, November 6th after just three months of being back in business.

Sign for Your Next Protest

Poster board isn't really expensive, but everything is expensive when you've got $76,000 of student debt to pay off.

Vegan Deodorant

Just imagine how many little Hamady deodorant squares you can get out of one bag. Sure, you'll already have to be a little bit sweaty under there to get them to stick, but no worries. Hamady Vegan Deodorant Squares are just like every other kind of natural deodorant alternative -- they don't really work.

DIY Dress to Wear to The Loft On Thursday

Who doesn't want to hang out in a bar while wearing a paper dress? You'll be the talk of the pool table area, as you sashay through the place like it's your own personal runway. However, you may want to steer clear of the dance floor in such fragile attire.
