Edit: Evequest released in 1999, the same year the human population reached 6 billion. The interaction he is talking about took place many years ago, hence why they said "...back in the day."
With this information in mind I'd guess this story probably took place in the early to mid 2000s hence why they said "Crazy 1 in 6 billion chance."
That's not its "sole purpose". We use them to hold stuff too, whether that's trash, bedsheets, or any other item I need to store. I don't know who's buying trash bags for the sole purpose of throwing them away.
