What owners like

Stretches around sharp or awkward items instead of splitting
Drawstring cinches tight and makes heavy bags easier to carry

Common complaints

Stretchy film can feel less sturdy than thicker bags under pure weight
Drawstrings on heavily loaded ForceFlex bags can strain or snap
Costs more than store brand bags

Based on Glad Canada's product page, the Amazon.ca listing, and editorial testing of Glad's 13 gallon ForceFlex kitchen bags by Reviewed and The Tested Hub. Those tests cover the smaller kitchen size, not this exact 90 litre bag..

What it does

A box of 24 large 90 litre black drawstring garbage bags with Glad's stretchy ForceFlex texture, made in Canada.

Diamond textured ForceFlex film that the maker says stretches with the trash to resist rips and tears
Drawstring closure for tying off and carrying full bags to the curb
Large 90 litre size for outdoor, garage and yard bins
Sold in 24 and 60 bag boxes

A good fit for big outdoor and garage bins where loads are heavy or awkward, since the ForceFlex texture is built to stretch rather than split. Editorial testing of Glad's smaller ForceFlex kitchen bags found them very stretchy but less sturdy than some cheaper rivals under pure weight. Buyers who mostly toss light, bulky waste can save with a plain store brand bag.
