More on Blue Plastic Wrap

First, evidently I should not be complaining about blue Saran Wrap because we do not have blue Saran Wrap. We have blue Plastic Wrap (by Reynolds, if that matters). Either way, I still don't like it.

But I don't want to throw it away, either. That would be a waste. So I've been trying to be more conscious about using it. I suppose in a sense that's tantamount to throwing it away since we own a bazillion plastic containers that will hold nearly everything I would need to wrap up. But somehow it seems that it's less wasteful if it's at least used, even needlessly.

Today I was thinking, "Wow. I wonder how much longer this will last. I really don't think I can use it fast enough." When, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed three frightful words (technically, two words and a number/symbol): BONUS 25% MORE!

What?! It's not enough to figure out how to use how much ever is left from the 100 square feet the container was supposed to include - now I have to use an additional 25 square feet?!

To put this in perspective, 25 square feet is a 5 by 5 area. That's bigger than a bathtub, bigger than the largest surface on a refrigerator, and, I believe, enough to cover our love seat. No, not all at the same time. But still - that's a lot of extra blue stuff I have to use. This is definitely not cool.

Blue Saran Wrap

I don't like it. I didn't even realized we'd bought it until I opened up the container and there it was. At first it was pretty cool. I mean - it's blue. That's pretty cool. It functions the same as the regular non-colored wrap and I figured there shouldn't be anything not to like, right? And I don't use that much Saran Wrap anyway so there wasn't much to think about for a while anyway.

But for some , a few times this past week, I've needed to use the blue Saran Wrap.

Onions wrapped in blue just don't look right. Neither does chili. In fact, I'm pretty sure the only thing that wouldn't look really strange is fruit salad and that's more of a guess than it is a well researched fact.

Now I've seen the red wrap, and while I haven't used it personally, it somehow seems that it would not be as strange looking on food. Maybe because there are more red foods? I wonder what black wrap would look like....
