As expected, you normally look inside an Arby’s takeout bag, not under it. But a group of TikTokers made a surprising discovery when they did just that: The paper bags claim to carry up to 25 pounds. Obviously, this had to be put to the test.
TikToker Austin Bennett, AKA @culinarybb, shared a video featuring the bottom of an Arby’s takeout bag—you can clearly say it says “25 lb. Mod Bag 1-5 Items” on it. To find out if this impressive claim is true, a 20-pound weight was placed in the bag. When it was lifted, it didn’t break!
In the caption of the video, Bennett asked Arby’s why its bags are so incredibly strong. To that, the official Arby’s TikTok account fittingly answered, “Because WE HAVE THE MEATS❗️❗”
People lost it over how sturdy the bags are and why they are that way in the comments. “WHAT FIVE ITEMS AT ARBYS EQUATES TO 20 LBS?!” one commenter wrote. “Paper bags at a grocery store COULD NEVER,” another commented. People who have worked at Arby's even chimed in to both confirm and deny that the bags are that strong. You might have to try it out for yourself to know for sure!
If you weren’t already ordering 25 pounds worth of Arby’s takeout, you can at least find comfort in knowing that one bag would be able to hold it all. Now, if this concept was extended to grocery store bags, that would be a total game-changer.
