not a bad idea however i believe these will not handle much weight at all. These plastic hangers barely will hold a heavy winter jacket, but there are several different thicknesses and grades of these hangars some will even shatter leaving sharp edges

Thank you. i did try this on the video with actual full shopping bags and there was no problem, but if you have 3 gallons of milk you can always do one for each hand and distribute the weight or like you said experiment with other types of hanger or material, i like the hanger because its really easy for anybody to find and do.
