They can only claim things in the claims section. The two independent claims are #1 and #13. The description is mostly fluff - they really are just attempting to patent a 60% recycled white bag.
This is why the Linux user community has such a bad rap.
They could have atleast nailed some of the metrics down, it can be so absurd how the patent system works in the US.
It is difficult to know who to fault, Apple, or the USPTO.
Edit: I think it was a bag to hold one of those fancy, hand made jam and jar, but it was dark brownish. They probly swiped the design from one of those types. Apple is notorious for swiping design and elements.
