And yet, when I buy a baked good from the farmers market or my local coffee shop, it is wrapped so well that I can never find the end! It takes all I have to unwrap that deliciousness. Plastic-free July, anyone??

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

You’re totally right! Maybe they are making their own from pressed dandelions and hope :) Let’s make plastic’s days very numbered :)

Somebody had to say it!

I feel like you must have cameras in my kitchen.

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

What are you doing, Dave? :)

🤣

Made me laugh! So true! I’ve switched to aluminum foil and wax covered cloth wraps.

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

Thanks Debi! Those are both great or even cheesecloth and things like that depending on the item. I almost can’t believe this stuff is still in play—it is so terrible! :)

Martha Linn's avatar

Oh my gosh I laughed so hard at this. Perfect analysis. Thank you!

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

Thanks Martha! You’re fab! I wish you the kind of cling-free day you desire!

Tara's avatar

Yes!! I despise Saran Wrap so much, except for that peel and stick stuff that works so much better!!

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

Totally! Why do you still exist Saran Wrap? Do you owe someone money or what?

Bill Southern's avatar

So, that’s a no on the Saran-Wrap testimonial commercial?

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

Yeah…..it’s going to be a pass for me, Bill. Unless it’s for a massive class action lawsuit suit about the emotional distress of their product. In which case, please give Saul Goodman my number

If the deranged killer comes by I have an extra box of Saran with just his name on it. Not taking any chances, baby.

😂🤣😂🤣 Thank you, Sheila!! I knew I couldn't be the only one!

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

Thanks Mary Beth! You are in good company! I now sleep with a box of Saran under my pillow. You’re right: take no chances, take no prisoners! :)

It's a total con -- and a conspiracy. They make it so it doesn't work and then we have to use more of it! Do they think we won't try something else?? I'm boycotting. And sticking, yes sticking, with Cling Wrap. Thank you for this helpful post, my friend!

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

THE REVOLUTION WILL BE CLINGY! Godspeed, Diane. We will tell the world your story :)

Yael Gelardin's avatar

Fascinating conversation! I think I’m better off without it. It’s either clings too much or not enough.

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

I’m with you. I have just started wrapping stuff in old concert tee-shirts. Better. :)

🤣 You're absolutely right! It sticks to itself better than anything else in the room. I didn't even get to the rim of the bowl. It started wadding up with itself straight from the razor's edge. Holy merde! That press and seal stuff is so much easier to use. It actually does what it says it's suppose to.

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

It’s like it RECOILS from the surfaces it’s supposed to cling to!! We have nineteen different medications for heartburn, but THIS—no one can figure it out. Sorry. Nope. :) Thanks Sue!

This spoke to my soul. But unlike you, I don’t even have the patience (optimism?) to try. We don’t Saran Wrap in this house. We put uncut quarters of watermelon in the fridge bare and exposed, as nature intended. The surface gets extra sweet and leathery (win, win!) but then the rest of it tastes sad and subpar in comparison (what Saran Wrap thrives on). Great piece!

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

Ooh Shirawrites: Don’t let BIG POLYMER know what you’re up to!! :) You’re putting them out of business—happily so! I also know plenty of people who have embraced beeswax sheets and such. Or just let it all go naked. Make that fridge a party! :) YES!

Shirawrites's avatar

I do own beeswax sheets, but we prefer complete nudity in this house 😂

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

YES! LET THOSE SLICED ONIONS GO COMMANDO! I dig it!

Liz Alterman's avatar

So true! Edward Scissorhands box 😂😂

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

It’s the devil. Pure. Evil. Thanks Liz!

Liz Alterman's avatar

For years, I thought something was wrong with me. I was like why do people love this?! 😂

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

SAME! people swear by it and I’ve always been like, “NOT TODAY SATAN WRAP!!”

Liz Alterman's avatar

😂😂😂😂

'the oily smile of an Amway rep'🤣

I love that you took this regular, tricky product and can find so many hilarious lines to write about it. Thank you Sheila.

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

Thanks Donna! We can put a pig heart valve into a human but we can’t make THIS any better? C’mon now!! :)

Tamara Casey's avatar

Only one comment, you left out cutting your finger on the box while it laughs at you.🤣 Fabulous as always She.

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

Oh man…you’re right! That damn box LIVES to put the hurt on! :)

Henny Hiemenz's avatar

This hit especially hard as I am currently in the middle of my very own get off my fucking lawn piece for the week.

Also, uh, Press N Seal….hello McFly!!!

Henny Hiemenz's avatar

We still have Saran Wrap cause too many old people (Mitch’s brethren) are running around this joint

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

Great. When they decide to call it on Mitch, bundle him in some Saran and toss him overboard.

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

HAA! I look forward to it! Yeah, many are chiming in about the wonders of Press N Seal. So why do we still have the roll? What kind of psychological terror is at work here and what kind of Dr. Evil super villain consortium is behind it and can it be traced directly to Mitch McConnell and his mysterious “absence” from work/living and breathing? THESE are the questions that really need answering!

Kris Keppeler's avatar

Hilarious and spot on!

Sheila Moeschen's avatar

Thanks Kris! Appreciate it and glad I gave you a laugh!
