Is that obvious? Yes and no.

So you know those grocery bags you take home from the store (or any bag from most any store, for that matter)? No. Well, go shop somewhere while I talk to the people that know what I'm saying.

Anyway, those bags aren't just for holding stuff: they also double as nearly free advertising for the store you took the bag from. Think about it. What's on the outside of the bag? The store's logo.

This tells other people, "Hey, I shopped at Store X." (Store X's being popular in City Y of Country Z) While it doesn't say you'll shop at the place again, it does tell people that the store had your business. Like the saying goes: "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

Why do you think they double bag, for more support? Actually, it's in case you lose one of the store's free "flyers."
