Worshiping at the porcelain altar. Shouting groceries. Shouting for Hugh. Calling Ralph on the big white telephone. Barf. Blow. Blow chunks. Hurl. Hork. Regurgitate. Lose lunch. Toilet tango. Spew. Puke. Gastrointestinal pyrotechnics. Upchuck. Yak. Airsickness. Carsickness. Seasickness.
Whatever you want to call it, barf bags will catch it. But they can do so much more. From airplane hacks to terrestrial everyday uses, airsickness bags are more versatile than the world gives them credit for. And they're free.

Not every restaurant provides bags, boxes, or other containers to safely bring home leftovers.
Airsickness bags are lined with plastic, have tabs to seal in the freshness, and fold nicely. You can surreptitiously stuff in all the bread you couldn't finish before the appetizers came. Or carry home the soup of the day. The same properties that hold in food post-digestion can also hold the same food prior to mastication.
Disclaimer: using barf bags from the seat pocket on an airplane for food storage might be sort of gross. People do put their filthy tissues in there (among other things), and I can't imagine that those pockets get a thorough wash very often. It might be a little like eating off of a hotel bedspread. YMMV. I know a woman who swears by barf bags for storing leftovers who has yet to get sick.

And all i know about Kim Chee is that its a Korean food. And it was traditionaly made by using a wide array of natural things (fish oil ect..) and it was buried in the ground for a few years before eaten to let it ferment. and i love the stuff.

Local water might have a bit of chlorine taste, but you could also bring a filter bottle. I whined about the funny taste in water once and was reminded of the people in countries who are lucky to getting anything like clean water. Got over it.
But you can still use the bag as a trash bag for the fiddly bits that collect during a long flight, esp if you bring your own food.
Your hurling descriptions made me laugh loud enough to scare my cat.
As an extremely frequent flier, I've noticed that most people don't realize you can bring an EMPTY water bottle through security. Better yet, bring along an empty reusable canteen or nalgene-type container with a carabiner clipped to your carry-on bag, and refill it at a drinking fountain, typically found outside a restroom.
Thank goodness Qantas has potable water. I ran into a bit of the dysentery after a trip down under, and the flight from Sydney to LAX to DIA was (to put it mildly) uncomfortable. Water in, water out.
Gotta do that now. (evil grin)
Another admirable Instructable though, from the "Unusual Uses" Master!
