Just now I went hawker centre to dabao fishball kwaytwow noodles soup.

The aunty hawker ask me put in 纸袋 or container?

She says container must pay 20cts more.

I told aunty hawker i want plastic bag and not 纸袋.

Then I ask her why her paper bag or 纸袋 so good won't get wet, break and can hold noodles in soup is it?

She looked at me angrily and say "plastic bag lah!".

I told her she said 纸袋 what! 纸袋 is made of paper. Paper is 纸.

She damn pissed off with me.

Am I wrong?

In the olden days, there was no plastic and bags are made of paper
Because plastic was only invented in the 1980s. And bigcockman was probably born in the 1990s.
