I know exactly what you mean.

While she lived with us, wrapped everything, from the sandwich to the carrot sticks. The sandwich had a certain flavor to it that was lost when baggies showed up.

on white bread is what I forced to eat for 5 years and wax paper or not it was awful!!! Since my parents liked it I had no choice or voice in the matter. A sickly sweet, soggy blob ended up in the trash every day. No wonder I never weighed over 99 pounds until I was in 12th grade.

But never have. It did taste better than a plastic bag.

I wonder which is worse though, the plasticizers in the baggies or the petroleum based paraffin used on the waxed paper.

I'm going to try wrapping my sandwiches in waxed paper for a while just because.

in wax paper. I wondered if it was a throwback to his childhood. Whether it was or not, I found out they tasted better that way.

I still have the memory of opening up my brown paper bag lunch and smelling the odor of baloney mixed with the smell of an orange.

In my mind I'm smelling it now and I'm back in my lunch room 55 or so years ago.

Wrap it up tight, put it in fridge for a few.

Just tastes better.
