For those that havent seen the truth before, here it is.
The way it was explained to me was quite simple. We were sitting drinking a few Binnies with some stall owners in Melasti markets watching shoppers going hard when this subject came up.
I obviously asked the question and here is what they told me
Red Bag: Drinks red cordial every day and has sickly sweet breath
Black Bag: Mud Guts, will not fart or take big steps
B&W Striped Bag: Has Bali Belly and probably stripes in Undies
White Bag: Been here one day, not yet sh!t themselves, wallet is readily opened
Blue Bag: Heart Condition, make quick sale
Green Bag: Jealous Wife, don't flirt or no sale
Pink Bag: Not that there's anything wrong with that!
Polka Dot Bag: You're actually a white bag shopper, but all they had was a black bag and a white bag that they got Djurian in at the Pasar pagi.
I'm sure that's all true, as they gave me no bags to save me embarassment and suggested I buy a big surf bag for my purchases which I readily did.
