Well I have. I've put rubber bands around the bags, actually have
taped the bag completely shut and that brown sugar would suffice for a
brick to build a house in no time. I've got brown sugar right now in
a Tupperware canister that is 2+ years old and is as fresh and soft
and easily scooped as if I had bought it today. A rubber band is a
poor tool for keeping items fresh.
