...needs to die. :mad:

Ok, so this morning, I've got some leftovers that I need to wrap.

No problem.

I get out the trusty old Saran Wrap I have at home, and prepare to rip a section off.

Not so fast, Mr. Moose.

The plastic wrap, in all of it's clingy goodness, decided to mess with my head. I ripped a piece off, and it proceeded to fold itself over. Then I tried to unravel it, which, twisted it even more. :confused:

I danced around with it for about 10 minutes before I gave up and threw the leftovers in my dog's bowl. :mad:

I need a plastic wrap tutor...please, GF members, you're my only hope.

Concidering the average person without a G.E.D. can handle plastic wrap, I'd say your inability to do such a daunting task is a reflection of how the rest of your life will go.

On MY plastic wrap here at the house (looking at it as I type this) it is NOT recomended to be handled by children, and also presents a choking hazzard..

As your friend cool_dude, I want to tell you to stay away from plastic wrap from now on, until you become a man. Your life may depend on it.

I might not be as old as you are, so considering me a child in your eyes is ok. But you're talking to an adult, so treat me like one of the others.

This is another GF Public Service Announcement by CES.

How to effectively use Food Grade Plastic Wrap.

1. Gently pull out small amount of plastic wrap from box.

2. Place this small amount of plastic wrap on one side of the dish or bowl holding the item you wish to cover.

3. Press the plastic wrap against the side of the dish or bowl, while simultaneously TIGHTLY pulling the remaining plastic wrap needed across the surface of the dish or bowl, thereby covering the food. The key here is pulling it TIGHTLY.

4. When you have successfully covered your dish or bowl with the TIGHTLY pulled plastic wrap, then while holding the plastic on the dish or bowl so as to not allow it to loosten, use the built in blade on the plastic wrap box to cut the plastic wrap. Tuck the remaining plastic wrap down along the side of your dish or bowl.

5. Congratulations, you have just mastered the use of plastic wrap.

You see boys and girls, plastic wrap was never deisgned to "cling" contrary to what the slick and trick marketing of the "Glad" company may have told you. What holds plastic wrap in place, is surface tension, created by TIGHTLY stretching it across a surface thereby causing it to pull in all directions, thereby keeping it in place.

Oh wait, I just found this on Wikipedia!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_wrap

"To use plastic wrap effectively for sealing containers, tear off a section and touch one side of the wrap to one side of the container near the opening, allowing the wrap to cling there and make as smooth a seal as possible. Then, stretch the plastic wrap over the opening and touch the other end of the wrap to the opposite side of the container. Finally, pull the remaining sides of the wrap over the remaining edges of the opening, and flatten the wrap against the edges around the opening as completely as possible. This may take some experimenting and practice to master"

Gee, wasn't that what I just said? :p

Tune in next week boys and girls for how to effectively use toilet paper.

Funny, I've never had any complaints about that...

As as for plastic wrap...that can be a very fun and useful tool beyond saving leftovers... ;)

How can a polymer scientist be labeled an "idiot" by a guy who can't use plastic wrap? It's like Elmer Fudd calling Albert Einstein an idiot.
lol, Exactly...added to that he is using plastic wrap because he blew his microwave after putting something wrapped in tin foil...

It was the very first day that we bought the thing called "Microwave". Neither me nor my family knew the dangers of putting metal in it. We had to change it for a new one the very next day. :eek:
