Why? The pink ones work as well.
The pink bags actually aren't as conductive as the metalized mylar bags
and are not rated for the same level of ESD protection. The pink bags also
break down chemically over time (which anyone who has witnessed this also
knows that they smell really, really bad when they do this). On the other
hand, the mylar bags last practically forever.
