I wonder if this will influence my buying decisions? <BR/><BR/>My Target plastic wrap has the tabs, and the Reynolds of course, but that's all I have on hand. Weird for the Target plastic to have tabs and not their foil. <BR/><BR/>And the Ritz Bitz thing is kind of genius, because toddlers aren't that great about passing the box around among themselves. Why not a box that turns into a trough?Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-61178233397724198912009-01-29T07:59:00.000-05:002009-01-29T07:59:00.000-05:00I just left my morning coffee to check out my supp...I just left my morning coffee to check out my supply.

Why would I read a ritz bitz package (except to confirm that yep, but HFCS and partially hydrogenated things are within). Particularly the text in cartoony colorful letters with exclamation marks. Man, you just don't read that stuff.<BR/><BR/>Houston, being a man, read the box and learned that they've put a sort of triangular crease on either wide side of the box. You open the flaps on top, and, "with hands near top, push narrow sides of box towards center". It pops open like an origami swan into a big open thing that several toddler hands can fit into at once. Not as life changing, but evidence of the same mechanical engineer mind at work.Brenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932160046847458948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-57820623875598914172009-01-29T03:19:00.000-05:002009-01-29T03:19:00.000-05:00I ditto every comment before me.

I've been using the heavy-duty super-cheapo Target brand which, as far as I can tell, has no such built-in dual-tab advantage. <BR/><BR/>We invariably end up with a very thin sliver of foil, oh, about the width of four eyelashes, just swirling around doing nothing.
