		<description><![CDATA[This will either be the dumbest blog post you&#8217;ve ever read, or one of the most ingenius, depending on your knowledge of&#8230;&#8230;cellophane boxes! That&#8217;s right. Those oblong dispensers of cellophane or aluminum foil contain a secret which has eluded me my entire adult life. Tell me, is it me, or did you already know about this? I owe this new knowledge to my brother-in-law, Harlan, who was here last week for Thanksgiving. When he saw me in the kitchen fumbling with the Saran Wrap, he said, &#8220;You know, there is a way to keep the roll from popping out of the box every time you go to use it.&#8221; Really? Yes, really, and the answer is written on the end of the box, as Harlan pointed out. &#8220;Press Tab to Lock Ends,&#8221; it says, or &#8220;Press to Secure Roll.&#8221; Like this: Holy cow! All these years of living, all this education, and I had no idea such technology existed! My question is, am I the only one who didn&#8217;t know? Please enter your answer in the poll to the right. Feel free to let me down easy!]]></description>

Those oblong dispensers of <a href="http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blcellophane.htm" target="_blank">cellophane</a> or aluminum foil contain a secret which has eluded me my entire adult life.</p>
<p>Tell me, is it <em>me</em>, or did you already know about this?</p>
