What we talk about before dinner

me: "Well, Ziploc bags are pretty much everything-proof."
Scott, sarcastically: "Except explosion proof."
"Explosion proof? Sure they are."
"Whatever."
"Are you kidding me? You've never heard that before??"
(uncertain) "...No...."
"You haven't? they can be used to contain explosives. Well, not the normal bags, but the freezer thickness ones."
"Oh, come on, you're totally lying to me."
"No, really! A lot of military personnel carry them around for protection, and if they find an explosive that's gonna go off, they'll put it in the bag to contain it. Quart size for grenades, gallon for bigger stuff."
Scott (partially convinced) "Are you lying to me?"
"noo..." (i start to giggle)
"You totally are!! Man you almost had me though."

Ziploc...conveniently sized for your explosive needs.
