Abstract
A bag made of water resistant paper or plastic for holding a “goopy” sandwich such as a hamburger, hot dog, etc while eating the same is fitted on the open end with a collar extending generally radially from the bag. The collar or drip plate is adapted to catch liquids, slurries, and small particles falling from the sandwich. The catchings are either retained on the collar or directed back into the bag where they either soak into the sandwich or run to the bottom of the bag. In either case, the drippings do not fall onto the diner, table, or floor.
