Tried the "plastic bag in my helmet" trick for rain and it backfired hard

So I saw some guy online say to put a plastic grocery bag over your head then put your helmet on top to keep your head dry in light rain. Tried it this morning on my ride into work here in Portland. Worked great for about 10 minutes then the bag slipped and completely covered my eyes while I was going downhill. Had to pull over and almost dropped my bike. Learned that trick only works if you tuck the bag into your helmet straps real tight. Anyone else got a better way to keep your head dry without fogging up your glasses?

Honestly, a tight beanie under the helmet works way better than any bag trick. Tbh, I just accepted that my glasses will get a little wet and wipe them with my glove at stoplights. Ngl, looking like a foggy dork beats almost crashing though.

Wait, you actually just let them get wet and wipe them off with your glove? I'd be too scared of scratching the lenses or smearing something weird on them. And honestly, how do you even see well enough to ride when they're all fogged up? I'm genuinely impressed you make that work.
