This is not a pro tip, wtf bags exist, its like posting "too much poop coming out your butt and splashing back up into your ass? Just shit through the cardboard tube of the toilet paper so it funnels directly into the toilet water" it is an objectively bad solution to a nonexistent problem.

Bro, its a variety color pack, and the bag they came in wasn't a ziploc bag. Once the bag is opened and tossed off in my toolbox, they'll end up shaking loose all over the place.

Another commenter suggested just cutting a hole in the side of the bag, which makes sense, but doesn't make it in any way easy to pick out a specific color. I bought them to color code wire harness connectors.

Yeah yeah I could have just tossed them into a ziploc bag, but I find this neater and easier to deal with, especially when under the hood of a vehicle and my hands are covered in cruddy grease and oil.

I'm just dumb, that sounds like a great idea to separate specific colors.

I agree, but not nearly as strongly. upvoted for the colorful analogy.
