Press and Seal Saran Wrap

Sample: Press and Seal Sran Wrap
Source: Piggly Wiggly

If you've never used this stuff, you should - it's a miracle of modern technology. These images show how this works - the sheet is dimpled, and somehow adhesives have been selectively applied to the troughs. It's not sticky until you press the troughs down onto the surface.

Awesome.

Jesus. There's more copy-protection on this CD than most nations have on their money. Counterfeit money? Bad. Counterfeit Office CD? Who cares?

Microsoft cares, apparently.

Tip 'n Tell

Sample: A "Tip 'n Tell" package snitcher.
Source: There was some box in a dumpster. Probably was fragile. Looked awfully damaged.

The Tip 'n Tell is a great idea. It's an almost unsettlingly phallic device that's half full of blue beads. (blue balls?)



The front is clear, and the back is adhesive. Basically, the idea is that if the package is manhandled or tipped, the blue beads enter the arrow and let the recipient know that it got the Samsonite Gorilla tratment.
