I demand only three things of my kitchen-grade plastic wrap

[Orrex]

1. It unrolls from the roll when needed
2. The serrated cutting edge on the box must the plastic wrap
3. The plastic wrap must cling to the item being wrapped


Saran "Premium" does none of these.

Fail!


You might have other off-label uses for this product, and I invite you to start your own thread for those discussions.

[MrCoffee]

1. You need to switch to Reynolds "Plutonium Containment-Grade" plastic wrap

That "kitchen-grade" stuff is worthless.

[BlueJazz]

2. I put stuff I plan to keep for 2-4 days in a sealed container. For Short term keeping?.Aluminum Foil...

[Orrex]

3. Then you're just living in denial

Incidentally, the blade on the Saran Wrap box can cut nothing but fingertips, which it will neatly slice to the bone.

[BlueJazz]

19. Damn....How come I'm always the last one to know these cool things?

[madinmaryland]

4. I find that tinfoil works the best!!

:tinfoilhat:

[Orrex]

7. You're probably correct insofar as clothing is concerned

Quasi-adonis though I am, I still don't have the confidence to wear a Saran Wrap suit.

[KitchenWitch]

5. Plastic wrap, my friend, has always been an epic fail on all three counts.

[Orrex]

8. A tragedy of the modern era

Plastic wrap sticks inextricably to one thing and one thing only: itself.

[HopeHoops]

6. I buy the el-cheapo store brands and they work just fine - at a fraction of the cost.

[Orrex]

9. What are you, a commie?

You keep your Red-Wrap to yourself, comrade.

[HopeHoops]

13. Actually, I think it has some kind of wimpy name like "Home Life" or "Best Bet"

On edit:

1) it is inexpensive
2) it works

[graywarrior]

10. Every time I use a roll of plastic wrap I want to pimp slap myself

Talk about being wrap challenged....I'm a spaz.

[SoCalDem]

11. You must buy this kind.. and it lasts FOREVER!

Buy a single if you can.. a 4 pack would last a LIFETIME..and then some

[enlightenment]

23. I agree!

Just used the last of the first box I bought - 6 years ago. You can even wash and reuse the pieces (if you're terribly A/R, as I can be on occasion . . .)

[XemaSab]

12. Plastic wrap makes your nads shrink and gives you man tits

[barb162]

25. LMAO. n/t

[Jamastiene]

14. Fuck that shit.

I just use Ziplock bags. You can put everything in a Ziplock freezer bag including soup, spaghetti, and chili.

Fuck a damn roll of clingy plastic that only clings to you and the damn box, but not the food. Whoever invented that shit should be hunted down, water boarded, and forced to use his own product for the rest of his life.

[Orrex]

15. Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

Boo-yah!

[kentauros]

16. You need to step up to a higher grade:

:P

[AlCzervik]

17. Ziplock bags fool and don't get the type with slider thing, those are for chumps.

Blue and yellow make green.

18. At a life drawing class, we once wrapped the model in plastic wrap

She was a real trooper about it. She lasted about 30 minutes before she had to shed the plastic. It was a hot summer night- but the resulting drawings were some of our best.

Great use for the stuff.

[Orrex]

29. Whatever I was expecting when I started this thread, that wasn't it.

Describe the scene. Slowly. And with a lot of adjectives.

[rug]

20. I haven't heard such passion about Saran Wrap since the Fugs.

[struggle4progress]

21. I expect my plastic wrap to be able to carry on an intelligent conversation about current events

Some brands do that, some don't

I also want my dental filings to receive broadcasts from Mars, but I can't buy dental filings by brand

[Orrex]

22. Now that you mention it, Saran Premium is quite witty after a few drinks

But I can't help you re: fillings, unless you want to hear me mock anti-amalgam hysteria on behalf of Big Dentistry, since I'm a paid shill.

[AlCzervik]

24. :-)

:rofl:

[barb162]

26. So what's your favorite brand these days?

[Orrex]

27. My local store used to carry Saran Classic, which performed pretty well

Right now, though, I just keep a can of aerosol varnish in the kitchen, and I spray whatever food I need to keep for tomorrow.

[Liberal_in_LA]

28. I have bad luck with saran wrap. Don't have the skill.
