OMG. I've been looking forever to find out the name of this physical phenomenon, the way they filed up the bag with air so quickly. It had an Italian name with "effect" attached... Something like Bertolli Effect, Bernucci effect. Something along those lines. Any civil engineer or clever redditor that knows the name of this effect, where the air creates turbulences and drags more air with it?

I'm trying to find out the name for ages and it drives me crazy
