Drawstring and Flexibility

In 1984, the drawstring garbage bag was introduced by GLAD and Hefty. In 2001, Hefty introduced a garbage bag with a drawstring designed to stretch around the garbage can's rim and stay in place. In July 2004, ForceFlex, a flexible plastic garbage bag, was introduced by GLAD (followed by Hefty's Ultra Flex brand in September).
