Remember when I posted a video about my daily battle with our new toaster? (If you need to catch up with what I’m banging on about, please click here for all the info. We’ll wait for you to come back, I promise!)
Well mornings at Kirsten and co. HQ just became a whole lot more stressful, thanks to Glad Wrap constantly changing their packaging.
The last time I bought a tube of Glad Wrap it had some new fancy slider thing running down the side of it, which basically turned me into a Glad Wrap Origami Master every time I tried to use it! Honestly, it was USELESS at slicing the Glad Wrap plastic off and made me wonder why on earth they felt the need to change the packaging design in the first place.
So you can imagine my relief when I discovered that the latest tube of Glad Wrap I threw into my shopping trolley was fancy slider free and back to the original design on the serrated edge. Phew. What a relief in my very busy and glamorous day that discovery was!
Except when I went to use it, I realised that the serrated edge has now been placed on the other side of the tube which is great if you’re double jointed and have the flexibility of a gymnast, but for the everyday human like me, the daily struggle with the tube of Glad Wrap is most definitely real.
I even asked Scott to put his skills to good use and have a crack at slicing off a layer of Glad Wrap. Naturally I video taped it, because who doesn’t love watching giant man hands wrestle with boring domestic items?!
See what I mean? What is with the serrated edge being on the lid instead of on the bottom of the box? Seriously, who designs these things?
Obviously people who a) don’t mind being late in the mornings due to the daily cling wrap struggle or b) origami/macrame show offs who love nothing more than to whip up a swan using nothing but a tube of Glad Wrap every bloody morning!
What are your thoughts on this very important issue? Do you wrestle with Glad Wrap every morning too?
