Well the plastic bag material may endure for 100 years, but try and 
actually carry anything around in it for 100 years and see how long before 
it's just a collection of holes held together by stretched plastic. 

The pegs certainly still exist, just in a shape that no longer serves it's 
purpose.

Not that your point is incorrect, I'm just being picky as I wait for
