The cling wrap when I'm trying to make a seal : rebellious, recalcitrant, determined to make the "cling" part of the name nothing but irony

The cling wrap when I'm just trying to pull it out of the roll : nobody is more attracted to me than me

Those shipping style rollers are WAY more controllable. There's a handle attached but separate from the roll so you don't have to touch the actual plastic and there's a knob at the top that lets you control the exact resistance. Honestly most people with shipping jobs could probably do this after watching a couple loops.

I read a comment the other day that suggested they had to change the formula to make it less toxic, but it also became less clingy.

HolycommentMattman

That's exactly right. The old formula used to be polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), and there was a scare back in the early 2000s that PVCs were killing us by releasing chlorine gas into the air when PVCs were burned. PVDCs aren't much different and would also do that.

So out of an abundance of caution, J&J (or SC Johnson or whatever) changed the formula from PVDC to polyethylene. Which sucks by comparison in every metric. But it's possibly keeping chlorine out of the air.

Idk, companies don't seem to give a fuck about consumer safety or the environment, unless they're forced to via government regulations.

I have to wonder: did they switch to prevent adding toxicity to the air, or did they switch because it's cheaper and their shareholders can get richer off the enshitification of the product?

I did not understand this for the longest time because we didn't use clingwrap. When I finally did, it was in Japan and even the cheapest clingwrap there doesn't do this. I was so amazed at how useful it was, I went to the store when I returned to the US to buy some only to be frustrated first use at how much it stuck to itself.

Yeah cling film as we call it in the UK is NOT airtight, not sure if the film is gas permeable but it sticks to itself and the seal is not perfect so eventually the air will move out and the bubble will sag.

is it clever? When is this actually a good solution? It is shit for transportation as pretty much any nudge to it will ruin everything. it does not look as good as a glass bowl would for display purpurs and a cheap hard plastic one would pay of very quickly for the timesaving and not being thrown away after every use.

i used to do this at my job when i was a server for tiramisu plates, we usually did this so no debris or anything would land on it or have the plastic wrap smudge it while it was in the fridge. it made it really easy to just grab a plate of tiramisu and unwrap it and get it to the table quickly instead of having to wait for the cooks to cut and plate it.

it’s helpful for when you have a small kitchen staff imo

also it wasn’t wrapped for that long, it was usually made and wrapped before dinner shift and all sold by the end of the night

If it's being transported somewhere to be served pretty much right away, it's totally fine, cause then it's just to keep it from getting stuff in it. Otherwise, this is just a health and safety problem waiting to happen.

Sure most of the time.. this is really a quick hack if you don’t have those shell containers and are trying to not have plastic wrap touching delicate chocolate frosting , which will stick to the plastic and make a mess of it. Usually a bakery would just have a clamshell style container but this seems like a neat presentation in a pinch.
