I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

Saran Wrap doesn't stick as well as the Costco stuff. They removed the polyvinylidene chloride years ago. I'm unsure if the Costco film still has it.

For the brits, "saran wrap" = "cling film".

I had to Google it...

The bastards changed it? That's hella lame. We've been using the same Costco roll for who knows how long now. What a shame. I hope they go out of business now.

Check the article. The old stuff was releasing toxic chemicals when it was incinerated. They actually did it proactively, which is a little scary TBH. Still, Costco sticks better.

Restaurant supply plastic film works better than grocery store saran wrap. It also comes on a huge roll that will last you a lifetime.
