Naa. It had to fit in my carryon.

Yes. That's what I meant when I said Billund, sorry for any confusion. The large
one is much larger.

I'm with you there, even this bigger one is no fun. A trick I was shown is to
cut the sides of the bag flaps. (you may be able to see that they have been cut
in the pic) That then allows you to fold them down right to where the ziplock is
and they are out of the way. That way you get far less parts skittering away to
make messes and get stepped on and etc.
Another trick that helps is to make a cone from a piece of paper and use it as a
funnel. It helps to have cooperation of the store personnel because you want to
do that with the parts starting from a flat surface that you just push off the
edge and into the funnel, rather than from mid air where it is liable to cause a
BIGGER mess than the original process.

He did? I don't always get his sarcasm but that wasn't my read. I read his words
to say he found it tedious in the extreme to have the parts go skittering away
through the handle holes...
I think that bag is designed to make it hard to buy a lot, if you ask me...
