All Purpose Clear Wrap. Not worth the dollar plus tax. A product in my opinion that made a quick buck for some profiteer. It was made too thin and tore before i wanted it to.

Now i feel like i got my dollars worth by saying what i really feel about this product.

2. Search engines provide the user with a summary of articles matching the user's search criteria. Very few supply the genre in the results, let alone allow the user to specify it in their search.

dogpile.com lets you select NEWS, WEB, IMAGES, AUDIO or VIDEO before the search is made. Saves a lot of irrelevant clutter (such as hotel ads) IMO.
NEWS should be just that and convey FACTS, not opinions and editorializing by every Bozo who can string a sentence together and has found his way to the WWW. The rest of the stuff here MIGHT have some entertainment value but that's debatable in a far worse wasteland than even TV and radio.

Please don't foil me. Are you anti-clear wrap, or was there a specific brand that has you frustrated?

Did you press in each end as shown in diagram on box. Sometimes the clear wrap (not to name names) is sufficient unto its purpose but the instructions were not adhered to.

I recently heard that unwrapped wrap may be twisted and tied to form a carry handle for objects, like sections of rolled up newpaper.
