Sobre
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for June 29, 2009
sobre (masculine noun (el)) — envelope. Look up sobre in the dictionary Abrí el sobre, y ¡qué sorpresa me llevé! I opened the envelope and what a surprise!

¿Cómo se refiere uno en inglés a los sobres en los que se empacan algunos alimentos deshidratados (sopas, frijoles, salsas...)? ¿"Bag"?

Yes, you can say bag. Even though it may be vacuum-packed/sealed bag, most of us just call it a bag.
From preparation directions: Pour contents of bag into boiling water ... |

Thank you both!
Once I wasn't understood when I said "envelope", but it was a group of non-native speakers, so I had to ask now.

I would normally call something like that a bag. If I needed to be more specific, I would describe it as vacuum-packed, sealed, or something similar. If you're talking about the smaller sobres of powder to make drinks (tang, kool-aid, etc), I would use "packet".
For example, in the following pictures, I would call that a "packet/bag of (dehydrated) soup" and a "packet of tang".

psst! I don't know how all of us gringos forgot the most common term: pouch
All the responses we gave you were right. It's just that pouch is the best term. I'm sorry I wasn't quicker.

Yes, "pouch" is good to. If I say things out loud, it helps me think of the best/most common way of saying things.... but the people around me will think I'm a bit off my rocker if I'm staring at the computer screen muttering "packet of tang, bag of tang, envelope of tang, pouch of tang".
