    I have a mason jar vacuum sealer and when I get new dry food, I put it into the big jars and pump out the air, to keep it hopefully fresh and not dry it out. I think it works pretty well, but the cat is never so excited as when there’s a fresh bag.

    They have their advantages and disadvantages, is all. They’re not well suited for situations where you can’t guarantee a clean room (or enclosed tape reader), for instance, since the tape medium is exposed to the air. Dust can mess it up REAL good.
