How, how, HOW can adults seemingly machine-produce perfectly Saran-wrapped sandwiches? Mine always turn out as a ball of static plastic with the sandwich half-inserted.
i'm 50 and i never got the hang of cling wrap either.

loved your dad's stuff from the old original mac days, and now i love your stuff too! (found chapel through tom siddell's tumblr fanart - have you seen it?)

ah, yes, i see you have. cool to know you're a fellow GC fan (it's my very favorite!). 8-)

cheers and best of good fortune!

trick is to wrap before you tear off the sheet. no crinkly ball of plastic and it will stick. i wrap stuff for my job all the time.

I'm a big fan of sandwich bags. For everything. (Says an adult who never got the hang of plastic wrap.)

Finally an adult who isn't a Plastic Wrap Wizard! And I too use sandwich bags -- they're useful in any situation!

Lay sandwich on wrap one sandwich-length from end, fold wrap over sandwich to cover top side, flip/roll sandwich toward roll so that the old top side now has two layers of wrap sticking to each other. *Now* cut the wrap, then fold the loose ends in.

Problems Miss Emma? I'll give you a clue to the saran-wrap (or two). 1# keep the cutting edge down and tight to the saran-wrap. 2# Speed.

Hmm, I'll have to try that out! Everyone's been giving me such good saran wrap tips, I'll have to add these to the list!

Haha, I love this one! I totally relate to this xD I always have to ask my mom. I swear, plastic wrap is such a rebel.

I know, right? Whenever I ask my parents for help with plastic wrap they act as if I'm the least capable person on the planet!
11/5/11 responder
I never have to ask my parents for help with plastic wrap because I never use it.... but they do. I don't get how they stand the stuff!!

don't cut the plastic until the cookie is already wrapped
10/5/11 responder
Really? I had no idea that was the trick! Hmm, I'll have to try it next time...

hmm yes, in our household cutting a sheet of plastic wrap is usually a two person job :P

ONLY a two-person job? I'm impressed!

I don't understand the superhuman powers of adults. -_-

Me neither. They must go to plastic wrap usage class or something.

Urgh, me too, and I'm a Real Adult(whatever that means). I suppose I missed the boat on the plastic wrap skills...

So, we meet again, plastic wrap. PLASTIC WRAP. I cant even tear off a sheet without the whole thing crinkling up. PLASTIC WRAP. Once it starts balling up, it wont stick to my cookie. PLASTIC WRAP. Sighhhhh. Chapel: Zero. Plastic wrap: 296.
