When you pull a full kitchen bag, it often sticks because a vacuum forms between the bag and the bottom of the can. Some people drill a hole in their can to fix it.
VentClip (working name) is an idea for a small plastic clip that hooks over the can rim and runs an air channel down the side, between the bag and the can wall. The goal: air reaches the bottom, so the bag lifts out without suction — no drilling, no tape.
We have not finished testing it, so we can't promise it works on every can yet. If it gets made, the planned price is about $14.99 for a 2-pack.
