THE BAG-CADDY IS A PORTABLE SUPPORT DEVICE THAT TRANSFORMS AN ORDINARY PLASTIC BAG INTO A FREESTANDING, EASY TO USE RECEPTACLE.

The BAG-CADDY is ideal for:

Bagging grass clippings
Yard and garden clean-up
Tailgating
Picnics
Camping
Collecting recyclables

What makes the Bag-Caddy different from other products?

The Bag-Caddy rolls up into a cylinder and is designed with its own carrying handle which makes it easy to transport. It packs conveniently in the corner of an automobile trunk, back of an SUV or a camper. When not in use, it can easily be stored on a shelf in the garage or in a storage area.

There are four die cuts evenly spaced along the top of the Bag-Caddy which are used to lock the bag in place and keep it open.

The two handles on the side of the Bag-Caddy make it easy to pick up and carry.

The BAG-CADDY eliminates excessive bending and lifting! Disposing of a full bag is simple. All you do is unlock the bag, tie it off and lift the BC over the top, “The Bag-Caddy Way”

What is the difference between the X-Large and Large Bag-Caddy?

The X-Large Bag-Caddy is designed to support 30, 33 or 39 gallon bags. The Large Bag-Caddy supports 13 or 15 gallon bags. It also works with a 24” X 36” hamper bag.

What is the X-Large Bag-Caddy used for?

The X-Large Bag-Caddy is the most versatile support device on the market. Whether you’re bagging grass clippings, raking leafs or cleaning out garden beds; the Bag-Caddy saves time by eliminating excessive bending and lifting. One person can do the job of two people! The transportable feature makes it fantastic for tailgating, camping or picnics. It’s also very popular as a recycle bin.

How about the Large Bag-Caddy?

The Large Bag-Caddy is also great for tailgating, camping and picnics. It supports smaller bags so it is suggested for smaller events. It’s also an incredible support device for a 24” X 36” hamper bag. This makes the Large Bag-Caddy perfect for bathrooms, bed rooms, closets and dorm rooms.

The Bag-Caddy was originally invented for tailgating. My two sons went off to college and my wife and I started tailgating at football games so we could spend time with them. The 4 person tailgate with the bag chairs and a cooler quickly turned into professional tailgate parties complete with tables, outdoor cooking utensils, tents and large groups of kids! Needless to say our trash needs grew with the tailgate because the fact is most everything you take to a tailgate gets thrown away. I looked high and low and tried product after product and could not find anything that met our needs. We needed several receptacles that fit in the back of our SUV along with all our tailgating “stuff”. What I couldn’t find I invented! One day I was out cutting my grass when I saw my neighbor using a piece of rolled up plastic which was placed inside his bag (holding it open). That’s when it hit me…I went to the hardware store and bought that piece of plastic and created the Bag-Caddy. I flipped the plastic so that it was on the outside (which keeps it clean) and designed a carrying handle which makes it easy to transport. I created an attractive design to make it look good at the tailgate and I engineered the BC with 12 die cuts. Through the die cuts and handle the BC can be rolled up and transported, it sets up in seconds and the plastic bag is locked into place and open which makes it easy to accept trash. All you have to do is toss the trash in. Although I originally designed the BC for tailgating, it has become an even better product for outdoor use. The BC is the most versatile support device on the market… The Bag-Caddy works with 30, 33, and 39 gal bags. ”every bag needs a caddy”

I am 50 yrs old, married with two step kids. I have been in sales my entire career and I’m currently working for a natural gas company selling wholesale gas. In college I played football and baseball and I’m still very competitive. I love to exercise and I enjoy a good challenge.

My random act really involves me. In the summer of 2002 I went to my Dr. for a routine physical. The Dr. heard a heart murmur and decided to do more tests. I was diagnosed with a defective aortic heart valve and I was told my aorta was close to rupturing. By the grace of God I am here today because I didn’t have nay signs of a heart problem. I was close to death and I didn’t know it. On August 8, 2002 I had open heart surgery to replace my valve and the base of my aorta. This situation is the inspiration for the Bag-Caddy because I now know tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. I’ve always had ideas and never acted on them until my heart condition and the Bag-Caddy!

The versatility of the bag caddy is what really makes it the better product in this competition. I could see it used in many different situations. I just finished cleaning out my garage today. After filling 7 bags with trash, I wish I had one. The … more ability to easily transport and store is just bonus.

The Bag Caddy is a great product. I have had five of them; I say had, because our daughter now has all of them. Her family and friends love them for their versatility in use and storing.

The Bag-Caddy is very versatile, I use if for parties and recycling. I love the feature of how it brakes down and stores away, taking very little space.

Food’s-ON™ Six Pack is a completely self-contained picnic set for six. It includes tablecloth and clamps, plates and plate holders, cups and cup holders, utensils, and napkins and even comes with its own garbage bag to help make cleanup quick and easy.

Here’s the thing, Food’s-ON™ is wind-resistant…it won’t blow away in the wind! You simply clamp the tablecloth to your table and add the cup and plate holders. The holders will stick to the tablecloth and can be easily picked up and moved around by you…not the wind! The cup holders work with or without the tablecloth and also prevent drinks from spilling over which is great for families with young kids.

All of the supplies are packaged in a reusable backpack. The backpack has an insulated compartment large enough for ten 12-ounce beverage cans, and helps keep cold foods cold or warm foods warm. The backpack can be used for the beach, sporting gear, outdoor activities and school supplies and lunch…much cooler than a brown paper bag.

Food’s-ON™ is a completely “green” eco-responsible product. Its tablecloth is made from recycled water bottles. Cups, plates, and utensils are made from biodegradable organic materials. Reusable and washable the cup holders and plate holders are made from recycled plastic. Napkins are made from recycled paper. And the garbage bag in the kit is 100% biodegradable.

Picnics and tailgates, we’ve all been doing this year after year and season after season. They’re supposed to be a fun, relaxing way to enjoy family and friends outdoors. But, that’s not always the case. Aren’t you tired of plates fall apart and cups that spill easily and how about blowing away with the slightest of wind? What about all the trash we generate that’s either left behind or gets thrown away only to end up in landfills? Well so are two outdoor-fun loving couples who decided they didn’t want to contribute to the environment problem. So late 2009 we developed a set of patent pending, wind resistant picnic gear and supplies made entirely from recycled, reusable, and organic materials.

Our goal was to make a sustainable product that is fun and approachable for families and friends. So we decided to make eco-responsible picnic supplies that wouldn’t blow away in the wind. The challenge for the product was to find the right fabric for the tablecloth. We experimented with a number of materials, but when we tested P.E.T., a fabric made from recycled water and plastic bottles we knew we had all the ingredients to bring our idea to reality. So then two outdoor-fun loving couples formed Foods-ON™:

Tony Termini whose title is “the visionary”

Lauren Sellyei whose title is “the brain trust”

Yasmin Royka whose title is “the advisor”

Ed Royka whose title is “the idea guy”

We have successful backgrounds in marketing, legal, administration and engineering. Collectively we formed Foods-ON™ to provide fun outdoor products that are environmentally responsible and save consumers money.

We named the company Foods-ON™ because our patent pending wind resistant technology will keep your food on the table.

We package everything in the backpack which eliminates another retail package from being thrown away.

We’ve learned that there’re really are cost effective options that can be used now which can help save the future of our planet.

This is a fantastic idea. Living in San Francisco I picnic with my family in our city's wonderful parks. As any of you leaving in the bay area can attest to, it gets breezy around here. I would love to not have to hold my plate with one hand while … more sipping my bud heavy from my other.
