Tip for home - secret you dont know about foil/plastic wrap box.

Are you very detail oriented type of person who always read instructions? 

Even you are, I bet you don't know about this tip for preventing foil/plastic wrap from rolling out of the box when pulling the wrap out. 

The secret to fix this problem is super easily---just look at the ends of the box, it says "  Press here to lock end" . You will see a tab on each end. Once you press the tabs into the box, they will lock the roll in place, and no more frustrating about this.

If there is no tab on the box of your foil/plastic wrap, you can just create them using the tip of a knife, but don't cut the hole too big, otherwise the role might be stuck by the tabs and hard to roll to dispense the wrap (you can still trim the tabs if that happens).

You should use extra caution to avoid yourself being cut by the knife or the wrap cutter on the box.

Be aware though, if you need to take the whole roll out of the box after you had locked the roll in place with the tabs, you will need to carefully stick your finger inside the box to undo one of the lock first; or you might tear the whole box apart. 

For how to cut the warp nicely with the attached cutter on box, that is another story.
