Not pushing in tabs on plastic wrap boxes

You probably didn’t know that most brands tend to design their boxes to help alleviate your struggle. Punch in the cardboard flaps on the side of the box where it says, “secure roll.” These flaps are designed to hold the roll in place as you tug for preventing it from becoming a tangled mess.
