Why do people believe things to be true based on isolated, anecdotal experience rather than facts? SMH
From the Google Machine (via AI):

"Yes, paper bags can attract bugs, especially cockroaches and silverfish, because they provide a food source (paper and glue), a hiding place, and a safe environment for laying eggs. While paper bags don't typically emit smells that attract bugs, their absorbent, organic material and tight creases make them ideal habitats, making it crucial to store food in sealed, tight-fitting containers and regularly recycle paper products to deter pests."
