Stop thinking "inside" or "outside" the bag so much.
Reminds me a little of the story of the fellow who starts peeling the onion, looking for the real onion. He peels and he peels, discarding layer after layer, thinking he will then find the real source of the scent of the onion. Soon, he has unraveled all the onion, and there is nothing left, just him wintnessing empty space where the onion once was.
He missed that the stink of the onion was there all along, in his nose and every single layer.
