The trash bags' slogans were "Why Take Chances, Get Glad!" and "Don't get mad! Get Glad!"

In the late 1960s, Union Carbide began manufacturing green garbage bags for home use under the brand name GLAD trash bags. Since then, the types, sizes and use of plastic bags has evolved to include features such as drawstrings, zip closure and a heavy-duty ply material.

In July 2004, ForceFlex, the flexible plastic garbage bags, was introduced by GLAD (followed by Hefty's Ultra Flex brand in September).

The Glad Products Company is wholly owned subsidiary of The Clorox Company.
