Have you ever accidentally yanked the whole roll of aluminum foil or saran wrap right out of the box?
I have.
On more than on occasion and let me tell you,
it is either a mess or a waste.
You can choose to try and get it back on the roll
(which never works out the way you want it to) or just throw away the crinkled aluminum foil or saran wrap that is all stuck together.
Neither of which is fun.
I usually just cut my losses and throw out the mess.
UNTIL I FOUND THESE LITTLE TABS!
They lock the roll in place!
They are on all the boxes... Brand name and generic...
AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE!
Who the heck knew?
Not me...but now I do.
and so do you :)
Happy Wednesday!

The tabs have been there for years. :) If you have a Costco, their brand of plastic wrap has a cutter that is located inside the cardboard roll. After you take the roll out of the box and remove the cutter, you carefully open the perferated opening on the top, put the cutter over the metal cutting blade. Pull the plastic wrap thru the opening at the top and pull across the cutter. There is a blue 'zipper' (kind of like the zippers on some of the plastic ziploc top bags) and you run that across the plastic wrap. Cuts the plastic perfectly. I've given all my extra's away to family members to use on their rolls of plastic wrap. Love this little gadget!
