While we’ve been concentrating on foreign wars, domestic politics, and the economy, an issue of great importance to all of us has been allowed to fester.
Namely, the truly fetid state of many plastic wraps. Plastic wraps, WHEN THEY WORK, are invaluable in helping food last longer. When they don’t work, the plastic usually is doing a fantastic job of adhering to itself. It’s nigh on impossible to remove any plastic from the rest of the plastic on the roll. Indeed, the whole state of affairs has gotten so bad, that some of the poorer militaries around the world use rolls of plastic wrap in their bazookas.
American consumers yearn for information on plastic wrap. Who will help them choose the good wraps and avoid the bad ones? Who? Who will bear the consumers’ burden?
America, Paul’s Awesome Buyer’s Report hears you. Here is its first in depth analysis.
But first, we must go over PABE’s, Paul’s Awesome Buyers’ Report, rating system.
From worst to best:
Evil
Bad
So so
Good
Heavenly
In this issue I analyzed the following wraps
Saran(tm) Premim Wrap – Evil
I could not any plastic to pull off the roll no matter how hard and long I tried. I ended up throwing it away,
Reynolds(tm) Kitchens Plastic Wrap – Good
The great virtue of this product is its built-in side cutter. As Reynolds states, “Clean cut every time.” You’ll never again buy any plastic wrap without a built-in a side cutter.
Reynold’s = Good
Saran’s = Evil
There.
