I am going to call these as clips. As the picture indicates, these clips are used to tie/close the plastic grocery bags. I found these clips to be very interesting. Just to describe these clips are made of plastic, very flexible, which can be tightened or loosen anytime with little bit of pressure. While in India, I have experienced similar small pieces of wire/thread to tie the wires/cables.
Advantages
- No need to cut open or tear the plastic bags
- No need to spend too much of time in tying/untying the knots
- No need to transfer to an additonal container
- No need to worry about insects/worms getting into the bags
- Possibilty to use, resue or throw the plastic bags
