So what is the difference between a sack and a bag? I mean for baseball or soccer, I keep my balls in a bag, when I go to the store for nuts, I have them in a sack. When you get the stuff you smoke do you get a bag or a sack? Or are they just part of a package...?

Hello Dear Kuku!
So Nice of you to pop in!
The difference between a sack and a bag is mostly size....
Grocery Bag/Soccer bag/Bowling ball Bag

Whereas a sack is small for small items
sack of nuts/sack of beans
put your sorrys in a sack....

Now,here is where the confusion happens...
the overlappers..
the MidWest factor...
You see,my dear friend
in the MidWest they CAN divide by zero
and they actually call bags "sacks" and vice-versa..
Like a grocery sack...
tater sack
strangest thing,that MidWest..
They even put crackers in a barrell!
How insane is that!?.

As for your second query
Bags and Sacks and even packages do not come into play.
that answer involves handfuls and pocketfuls..
Thank you for your questions....

Next!
