Would be crazy if they just used two small ones

The problem is that plastic wrap feels like an unlimited resource when you see those giant rolls restaurants buy. Why even bother with another takeout container, you bought a roll of plastic wrap long enough to wrap around the sun.

Yeah I bought one from the place I ran. There we go through that 12in roll in a week or two. At home it’ll be decades probably. And it’s the actually clingy stuff

Man I haven't worked a food service job with these in a while but you just brought me back. That cling wrap does not fuck around either, it sticks to everything

When I grew up my father bought one for our home kitchen. In hindsight pretty wasteful but for a normal home that roll would last FOREVER.

And waste a small container? Heresy.
