I have owned this roll of plastic wrap for about 3-4 years. The same roll. Not an economy-sized roll, mind you, but a garden-variety roll from Target. It's not that I don't believe in preserving things. And I hate it when uncovered food absorbs refrigerator smells. I just think plastic wrap is a big freaking joke. Unless you're covering things 3-4 times and draping a little Saran quilt over your chicken quesadilla, I think plastic wrap is really about making you feel better about yourself. Because you've made the effort of preservation. You've proven your thriftiness - hey, I'm going to pay for this once, but eat it more than once! I am soooo smart! And in spite of the infuriating self-clinging-sticky battle you have to fight every time you use the stuff, you think, hey, at least I'm investing in my future here. That's really what plastic wrap is all about: it's a little nod towards the good times (and chicken quesadillas) to come.
