Jiffy Bag Disappointments: What were yours?

Petefromcornwall

Jiffy Bags - they're there to help, no bones about it, a handy and useful accoutrement.

But this week I had a disappointment on the Jiffy Bag front. I ordered three hundred plain white bubble Jiffy bags from a Jiffy Bag Dispensing Company. To my delight they were with me 'in a jiffy'. (That's just an in-joke amongst us jiffy bag users; like if you use an Apple Mac, you can say things like 'Plenty more bytes of the Apple' or something)

But the delight on my face left me - like my third ex wife - when I noticed they were all only three inches long. I had misread the code - size 000, not 0. I now have three hundred useless jiffys lying about the place. What CAN I do?

If you have had any similar disappointments on the Jiffy Bag front; have any suggestions or any Jiffy Bag joked, please let me know.

Did the 300 small Jiffy bags arrive in one larger one?

If so, you could at least use that.

You see, Life's not all bad.

Wasn't "Jiffy" a brand of condom?

I seem to remember some sort of "come in a Jiffy" advertising slogan.

Jonathon Davies the ex welsh rugby international was nicknamed "Jiffy".At the time France had a player called Condom.A banner at a game between the two countries read: Our Jiffy is better than your Condom.

They sound like they'd be just about the right size for badges. Say, Charlton Life badges.

Stick em on ebay in small batches. They'd probably be ideal for people selling jewellery or small craft stuff.

why can't you just send them back or is that too obvious?
