Welcome to The Rest of Science. I'm Hannah Frye. And I'm Michael Stevens. I think we should probably

tell the listeners slash viewers, the origin of today's field notes episode, because I am currently on

holiday in Greece. And as we were discussing, what I could possibly do that was holiday related,

our producer suggested that we just grab something on the way.

And we do an episode on Sickbags.

At which point, Michael Stevens, would you like to tell the audience what you told us?

Well, yeah, I said, hey, I collect sick bags, barf bags from airplanes.

Because they change periodically. and it's history.

Someone needs to be documenting this.

And some of them are quite cute.

So my collection, some of it happens to be here.

So do you, do you collect them too?

Only the very plain white one that I picked off a B-A flight on the way here.

I can't say, I can't say, by the way, this makes you a baggist. Do you know this? This is an entire community of you guys. Well, yeah. I'm now joining you as a baggist with my, I mean, it's quite a pathetic entry being entirely plain white. Well, I don't have a British Airways bag in my

collection. Maybe when I come out to London, could you give me that one? Deal. How many do you

have in your collection, Michael? I honestly, I only probably have a couple dozen. It's, it's not very

impressive. There are people who are doing a much better job than me. There are. In fact,

there's a great rivalry at the very hearts of the bag is community. There are people who are doing a much better job than me. There are. In fact, there's a great rivalry at the very hearts of the bag is community.

There is the Ayrsicknessbags.com bag museum, which the owner of which says, I collect

bath bags. My collection currently contains 3,659 bags, most are from airlines. While this website and hobby is an enormous waste of time,

I like to think that it's a higher quality waste of time than many other places on the web.

And what better description of our own podcast, Michael?
