I love their shopping bags and needed some new ones so I bought two of their mystery bags this morning (will open them when I get home later). Not sure what they mean by "Mandarin Orange Chicken" in the description below though. Is that a bag that looks like their orange chicken packaging? Hopefully, the two packs I purchased today don't include duplicates. 
"In all our adventures as traders on the culinary seas, one of our greatest delights is when a product takes on a life of its own, beyond even our loftiest expectations. It’s all the more surprising and delightful when that product is something as simple as our reusable grocery bags. Since we made the decision to create regionally-specific reusable bags, we’ve seen the rise of a community of TJ’s bag enthusiasts, complete with collectors, bag-trading meetups, and folks who plan out road trips just to grab the local bags along the way. That inspired us to create Trader Joe’s 1-2-3 Mystery Pack, a collection of three randomized reusable bags that’s only available during the holidays. Inside each Pack, you have the chance to find bags celebrating TJ’s stores and products from far and wide, including Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Las Vegas, and our famous frozen Mandarin Orange Chicken. They’re the perfect gift for a friend that’s recently moved, college students heading into spring semester, or bag aficionados of all kinds. And on top of all that, they’re an awesome value at $2.99 for every three-bag Pack."

Maybe it’s Chinese New Year themed.

There is 1 bag that is a nod to their frozen orange chicken-their best selling item. It’s not state specific. It has orange chickens, orange slices, chopsticks & some Chinese letters.

Thanks! I may have to go back and get a few more as there are some really cute ones. |

Our neighbor (hoarder) bought a bunch of them and then gifted duplicate bags to my hubby.
They're cool and since she bought so many, we didn't need to buy our own mystery bags LOL

I need one that’s a nod to their lemon pesto pasta. My favorite item there other than the bagel seasoning. |

Yes! My absolute favorite mystery bag is the canned corn one. The cashiers admire it whenever I bring it in. My precious 😀

I wonder if they do one mystery food item each year?

I ended up getting Brooklyn, North Carolina (that's the BBQ sauce one) Missouri, Wisconsin, Washington DC, and the orange chicken.

I saw those when I was at TJ's last week. It's a cute idea, but I am hooked on their boring canvas bags lol.

I have half a million reusable bags, but now I want these reusable bags!
Good thing the TJ’s closest to me is a pain to get to.

Why doesn't my TJ's have this? I'm so sad - I'd be all over it!

My DH bought some since his car was running low on them (taken out to use for other things). I can't remember what we got (no duplicates of what we already have), but it brought me great joy to open them.

I can’t resist the mystery packages every year. I have the Mandarin Orange Chicken bag, and whenever I carry it the clerks remark that it’s their favorite one.

My sister (CA) buys a mystery pack for me and my daughter every Christmas. It is my favorite gift!!  We live in Alaska and don't have a TJ's. I have so many...I buy them from all over when we go out on vacation.
What state is the dinosaur bag...I don't have that one yet!!  ETA...I see it now...It's UTAH
My favorite one right now is from Colorado. |

I bought a pack of these today. I got the orange chicken, Nevada and New Jersey. Jersey is Bruce Springsteen themed, but Nevada is pretty boring, no pictures, just says Trader Joes and Nevada all over it.

I just googled the Nevada one and that looks like a throwback to the Brady Bunch era.  My GF tried to buy some today and our store is sold out. Bummer because I wanted to pick up one or two more sets. |

For some reason, TJ's hasn't made a Kansas-themed bag -- at least, I haven't heard of or seen one online. There's a TJ's in Leawood, Kan. -- so why not make a Kansas-themed bag? PS: If anyone comes up with one, I'd be glad to buy it. |
