Hot on the heels of www.archive.org, we find another Library of Alexandria on the Web, doggedly preserving our collective heritage: The Air Sickness Bag Virtual Museum.
One can tell a lot about an airline’s image from their Air Sickness Bags. Some barf bags are no more than a baggie with a twist tie, while other sickbags could win international design competitions. Are they art? I think so. You decide.
The site offers images of 1354 unique bags. A quick browse raises some questions. Why does this bag show someone throwing refuse into the air sickness bag? And why does this SA Airlines bag read “solid litter only”? Surely that rules out vomit.
This site reminded me of another, equally obsessive site: The Stewardess Uniform Collection.

Stewardess. Amazing how a term can fall from use so quickly and become radically un-PC.
On a trivial note, did you know that ‘stewardess’ is the longest standard word that is typed with only left left hand (assuming normal touch-typing techniques)?
Here endeth the lesson.
