I love her to bits but I can’t figure out how she though this was a gold idea. It puts fumes into the food
Yummy, free cancer tortillas!
Leftovers from the Dinosaur BBQ hmmm
We all agree this is bad for food safety, but don’t you think regular sealing will affect the food as well? Of course melting the edges to seal them will produce some amount of gasses, even if it’s not burning, just like warm water will evaporate even if it’s not boiling. We shouldn’t use plastics for packaging at all.
For all the comments in here, I’m surprised nobody’s pointed out there’s a good chance she’s simply not aware of the health effects. If she’s receptive, this could be a good chance to educate her.
Boomers are fucking crazy with their food! My mom literally can’t stop microwaving styrofoam with their food inside it! No wonder cancer rates are absolutely RAGING
Cancer rates are going up because people aren’t dying from other things first
That, and 347 pesticides in use in the US today.
or any of the plastic ,“even biodegradable” dont microwave more than a minute.
There many different kinds of plastic, many of which are perfectly safe to put in the microwave for a few minutes.
Yeah, that’s a terrible idea. Just get an actual vacuum bag sealer.
Or simply use a Ziploc bag. Or a reusable resealable bag. Or a chip clip. Or a piece of tape.
Just eat it all in one sitting
Warp, tomato concentrate, cheese in grill
So good
Ive just folded the tortialla bag in half, store em in tupperware with a lid cuz you can reuse it. But anything is better omg
or even rubber bands which are inexpensive.
Not all bags are compatible with those. You might end up with a goey plastic mess.
Good point. Replacement with a resealable bag would be a better option.
Why worry about “microplastics” when you can inhale the fumes in your home and consume macroplastics in your food!? Mmm, tastes like burning…
Mom used to sling dime bags
Thanks for sharing that your mom was a drug dealer. Anything else you’d like to share with us?
Delicious burnt plastic fumes
Forget fumes, there’s a 0% chance that none of that is making its way into the bag and onto your food.
omg
your ma has sealed up the cellophane from a pack up butts before, bet. Thats a real easy way to do it, and how we passed weed back in the days haha. That could be where she picked up the habit? Dont matter im dying haha
Why would you seal food this way!? Freaking hilarous, im so sorry haha goodness some folks.
much better to use even plastic boxes meant for storing food, or even ziplock bags. there are plenty glass containers too. metal clips with the neodynium magnets, even is safer.
A few years ago my octogenarian mom became incapable of sealing ziplock bags. It drove me insane because I would repeatedly go to open something like chips or crackers that I had put in ziplocks only to find the seal partly open and the contents stale. I got in the habit of just going through everything in the pantry every couple of hours and resealing all the bags. I thought this was age-related until we hired a mid-20s home helper for her and the helper had the same problem. I don’t know what it is – ziplock bags aren’t that hard to use properly.
Tell her to use hair straightener tongs like a normal person
dont give her ideas, first she heats the tongs til its red, then straigthen her hair.
That’s crazy. Like the fuq
