Some are lined with a polyethylene coating, and I think even the modern wax is petroleum based.
Peak plastic was back in the 70’s and early 80’s when our store milk came in 1L plastic bags (that were packaged in another plastic bag containing 4L), dispensed in a tupperware holder. Thankfully we only got store-bought milk when the neighbour’s cow was being refreshed and the milk production was down.
You don't get that shmutz like you do on the paper lip when dealing with heavy cream boxes, etc.Quote:

May I join the wailings and lamentations for cheese loss? Fourme d'Ambert dearth is on the rise as well as the price of a decent sauternes.
Absolutely. The loss of access to great cheese is the sort of backwards move I do NOT approve of. :mad:Quote:

Infinite wisdom on display in this thread.
Gonna thaw a reblochon tonight in memory of the missing Fontina and Fourme d'Ambert.
I can't believe you people are bemoaning the loss of great cheese when Velveeta is still readily available.
Not to mention Velveeta doesn't even need to be refrigerated...

Gordon Food Service, perhaps? If you have one near you...
You are making me want to see if I can get ShopRite to sell me a brick of American cheese now. It shouldn’t be that difficult, considering they charge by the pound. Bringing it home that way would annoy my wife though.
Why would you let that stop you?Quote:

You didn't grow up somewhere in the Midwest where big chunks of American cheese are a key ingredient in many recipes.Quote:

Replacing windshield wiper blades annoys me. It always seems like it should be a 5 minute job and most of the time it takes way longer. Either you can't get the old ones off or can't get the new ones on without more effort than seems necessary. Today I actually had to Google how to get the old ones off. The new ones should have been simple, but one of them had the wrong mounting attachment installed and it was very difficult to remove. I thought I was going to break the entire assembly, but I didn't.
I'm sure you all have discussed this somewhere -
WTF is up with this site? Most of the time I can't open discussions because I'm redirected to Legal Zoom and this happens with every thread. Sometimes it's a different ad for an online game. If I refresh I can then get into the thread I want but I can't reply unless I refresh or go to Advanced.
Why is it such a pain in the ass to navigate this site? Is it just me?
Oh, and when I posted that^ I got this message and it acted as if it didn't post.

Just be grateful that your dad is tech savvy enough to do that.Quote:
