Collecting barf bags may seem like an unusual hobby, but for a small group of enthusiasts, it's serious business. With just over 100 dedicated collectors globally, they have formed a close-knit community centered around their unique passion. From airline relics to political event souvenirs, these collectors share stories of acquiring coveted specimens from around the world. The history of the barf bag, credited to American inventor Gilmore Schjeldahl, is a testament to human ingenuity and necessity in the realm of motion sickness relief. While once a common fixture on planes, the decline in air travel-induced nausea has led to a dwindling supply of bags, making each acquisition all the more valuable. For these collectors, the allure of barf bags lies not only in their practical use but in the rich history and unique designs that each one represents. As they continue to swap stories and trade bags, their shared love for this offbeat hobby serves as a common thread connecting them across continents.
