EEVblog #247 - Anti Static Bag Myth Revisted
Why people recommend it
Dave Jones tests anti-static bags, showing pink bags avoid generating charge but do not shield contents from external discharge; cited on ESD storage questions.
Watch for: pink versus metallised bags
In their words
Dave Jones at EEVblog did a nice series of tests (YouTube) on various types of bags; well worth a watch.

Anti-static foam will not generate static charge when it rubs against itself, but will happily pass a charge through itself to anything contained within (thanks to EEVblog for explaining that one).

I recommend watching the two videos from EEVblog: #247 and #250.
