I hate Reynolds Wrap. I hate cling wrap (let's be honest, does that stuff ever work the way it's supposed to? Sure it clings to your nails, itself, granite countertops...but it never sticks to the damn bowl you're trying to cover). Until I discovered Press 'N Seal, I classified other so-called convenience wraps the way I classify white underwear....useless. (And don't give me the argument that you need white panties to wear under white pants and shorts....you don't, you need nude colored undergarments. Trust me.). But my love affair with Press and Seal is beside the point.
I hate aluminum foil and cling wrap mostly because my toes have long suffered for the engineering mishaps of the box these stupid rolls are placed in. I'll be having a perfectly good day and go to wrap leftovers and BAM!!!!!!! Out of the box flies the entire roll, and onto my toes it lands. Do you even know how heavy those rolls are? Of course you do, because it's happened to you. It happens to us all. No matter how slowly and carefully you pull out your desired length of product (which you just know is either going to be too long or too short anyways), that stupid frappin' 17 pound cylinder of pain is going to come out and cause harm.
Apparently I'm an idiot, and I suspect most of you are as well as I've never heard any of you mention this before... Did you know there are NOTCHES on the side of every Reynold's Foil box for you to press in...they act like anchors to keep the roll where it belongs, inside the box!!!! Who the hell knew!!??
I only discovered this courtesy of my neighbor's e-mail... Observe much, Amanda? Apparently not.

I, too, have a deep love affair with Glad Press n' Seal.
I just came across your blog (linked from another Mom's site) and you are too funny!! Just the laugh I needed today before my boys wake up from their nap and I have to get back to "work." I always forget about those stupid taps on the side of the box...even when the roll falls out and crushes my toes. Cheers!!
