Single use bags can be sold, and are sold, for wrapping fruit and vegetables, and thin polyethylene carrier bags are atill sold, they just can't be given away for free.

At least over here (Austria) only biodegradable bags are allowed to be sold in this capacity.

But they are also not comparable to the old single-use plastic bags when it comes to plastic used, but rather comparable to a clingfilm around e.g. a salad.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
