So I enjoy my homemade submarine sandwiches quite dearly. I always heat a half one at a time for 43 seconds in the microwave. This has always worked out well and the cheese comes out nice and warm and not all messy and dribbly. I wrap each half sub individually in cling wrap as I find it holds all the toppings securely and keeps my hands from getting messey while I eat it. So the other day I think to myself I’m gonna 20 or so cents and get the generic cling wrap as it was on sale. What a mistake that was. The shit melts together in the microwave so you have to basically tear the crap out of it or use scissors. Then I notice the melted cheese even burned a hole through it. Never again will this happen and I’ll spread the word as long as it takes. Generic cling wrap is garbage! I even tried to seal a bowl of leftovers with it and get this, it doesn’t even cling! There are very few instances in life where I’ve felt this bad. I’m also well aware that my life is full of first world problems…… I live in a first world country. —Nukka

Microwaved plastic is kinda cancerous. Unwrap it, put it on a plate and then nuke it, nukka, like a normal person. Den smash it down ya belly, like no fool.
Always buy Glad Wrap and Cashmere toilet paper… for obvious reasons.
Cling wrap? i would be more concerned about the processed meats that make up a submarine sandwich. The use of a microwave will activate those carcinogens before the plastic has a chance to attach itself to all the added sugars. Any dough that rises in a pan will also rise in the stomach.
Mmmmmmm cured, salted, nitratey goodness. Llllaaaarrrrggghhhhhhh

Tell me I was asking for it.
I dare you.

“Gonna” what? Spend the 20 or so cents or save them? This is ambiguous. Given the bitcher’s identity, I would guess he’s gonna spend the extra 20 or so cents to buy the generic cling wrap instead of using old newspaper as he usually does.

A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Pie. Seaweed pie.

I find the generic wrap I buy is much better than the brand name.
i find most brands are the same except for the tearing strip, they never wotk
Homemade nitrate sub in cheap cling wrap that’s been nuked in a microwave. You do realize, Nukka, that your body is a temple. Yours sounds like a shitty deli.
Nukka et al. ,
Below is a link to a brief guide to microwave safety.
One of the dictums is: Don’t allow plastic wrap to touch food during microwaving because it may melt.

What nitrates? I make turkey subs…….. or sometimes tuna. So what TT, guess you’re more of a fan of Subway’s fresh mentality?
The point is the cling wrap folks! But thanks for worrying about my health, lol.
Sounds gruesome, Nukka.
I must admit that turkey & tuna sounds perfect for you, dearheart.
Plastic wrap is the devil’s condom.
Strange days indeed.
Microwave ovens are Mrs. Devil’s womb.
When they have a 6″ sub for $3…
all toasted and prepp’d for ya, yep that’s where I’ll be.
Now that there’s no yoga mats in the dough, of course.
*puts on tinfoil hat
…and no plastic wrap, Zed. Makes one wonder what a manager would say if he/she caught an employee heating a sub wrapped in plastic and then popped in the microwave.
I couldn’t imagine having a manager or supervisor that cared if you microwaved a sub or not. I also couldn’t imagine being a manager or supervisor that would care if my employees microwaved a sub or not.
zZz, the last poster I saw had shown that their daily deals prices had been raised. I am a fan of the occasional Melt on Tuesdays though. But I guess I’d be the ONLY person to consume nitrates then, poor Nukka 🙁 I’m gonna go fry a pack of bacon up for some reason, all 375 nitartey grams of it!
Ohh, and in closing your bodies a temple and microwaves are the devils womb and blah blah blah, blah blah blah. Wait, thats starting to sound like a blippin’ boomy’ wogdog…….
“There are very few instances in life where I’ve felt this bad”. I envy you your life
I <3 cling wrap and nitrate filled sandwich meats! YOLO!
