I'm hanging on to a genuine Woolworths red and white carrier bag, circa 1997. I'm hoping one day it'll be worth a million.

Give it to DT and it will be. He'll compare it to the first emperor's Jade underpants, saying that's what they were modeled on: the handles were were he put his legs and the bag itself 'acted' like a toilet. You'll be a multi millionaire when it's soldI'm hanging on to a genuine Woolworths red and white carrier bag, circa 1997. I'm hoping one day it'll be worth a million.

You mean it's an investment piece to pass down to future generations? Well, in that case, I won't put the rubbish in it!Give it to DT and it will be.

Absolutely do not put rubbish in it. On second thoughts, maybe it would add value: like a time capsuleYou mean it's an investment piece to pass down to future generations? Well, in that case, I won't put the rubbish in it!
I did not know that Country Road was owned by a different Woolworths! Going to have to give that some googling now to learn about
Yep, Woolworths Holdings, luxury goods merchant, is based in South Africa, and Woolworths Group has supermarkets across Australia and NZ, where you get your “Woolies worth”. No idea how/ if they were related at some point.
Reading online, it looks like they were not. And they were also not related to the British Woolworths we had over here. I remember moving to Australia and being surprised to see Woolworths alive and well, but yes, very different company
