Why you should store your plastic wrap in the freezer

They’re 2 to 3 feet wide and a minimum 8" in diameter.

You could wrap a building with that shit. Virtually the same product is used to wrap pallets for shipping. We have piles of them at the beer warehouse. Apparently we buy the food service version as it’s cheaper than the identical rolls meant for shipping.

It’s all about the box. If you use the box properly you never (and I mean never) have to hunt for the edge ever again. Fucking useless flimsy box.

Who are these people who have room for non-food items in their freezers? I have to play frozen-pizza-Tetris every time I come home from the grocery store.

I love the beeswax wrap! I use it for anything (leftovers) that goes in the fridge. I use this kind:

I agree. I can’t get any of this stuff to stick to anything. I’ve resorted to tin foil.

I keep a roll in my emergency go bag - a tip I got from people who were caught up in the 2011 tsunami in Japan and ended up sheltering for days until supplies could be flown or driven in.
Cling wrap can be used to hold bandaging in place, to add some water-proofing, to tie things, by twisting into rope. No running water? put a bit of cling over your dirty plate and use it again. Versatile and a good addition to the duct tape.

We mostly have chest freezers.

It’s incredibly useful stuff. Just not for left overs. Or food storage without other materials.

We used to send piles of the stuff to family in Iraq early in the war. Along with TP, deoderant, tampons/pads, tobacco, and liquor it was one of the most requested items.

I’m using the box properly right now! er…I mean, you just toss the box once the dog’s not interested in rolls of wrap? (I mean, lost opportunity, but it’s too much washing for them, right?)

So then the people with room in the freezer are proofing dough in the fridge. [Imagines it’s gluten-free vegan pizza.] I mean curing…teff…in coolers or the bee hives? [Operates giant hive-resident toaster in comic compound-eye Martha Stuart kitchen.]

Good going guys. Just what we need. More plastic. (Anyone notice the irony?)

YES YES YES. Just get stretch-tite and your freezer can remain plastic wrap free.

It’s more of a frustrating shit show.

But there’s lots of free beer.
