funny thing is, while i was watching (briefly) the martha stewart xmas show, she used shredded up clear plastic baggies as sort of ornamental snow for her doodads, and i was waiting for her to serendipitously mention the "official" name of said shwag but it failed to materialize. if anyone would know it would be martha. maybe theres an "ask martha" section on her website.

DF'S : METHED UP (A Madness called Meth) 11/16/00

It has been about 30 minutes since the team burst in. In the back bedroom, senior probation officer Michael Brooks is digging through the garbage. He finds a dozen or more tiny pieces of thin plastic, twisted and torn, but empty. Nearby is a box of unused sandwich baggies.

Brooks thinks the shreds of baggies, or "bindles," indicate a dealer. But he can't find the dope or any money.Terri's got a fresh $20 bill in her wallet; Paul has three crisp twenties in his. But that's all the money in the apartment. Brooks keeps digging. On the other side of the room, senior probation officer Steve McKee digs through a pile of Terri's clothing. Gould returns from her car where she has grabbed a Valtox chemical kit to test the drugs. Officers want to make sure what they suspect is meth is, in fact, the drug. She sets the kit up in the bathroom, balancing it on a strip of counter amid Terri's lotions and makeup.
