Why Doesn't The Last Piece Of Clingfilm Cling?

It's a mystery to me.

According to Uncle Google...

Technical info about clingfilm One side of the film is stickier, (the inner side on the roll). This will cling to itself, whereas the other side doesn't do this.

None of it clings like it used to.

They had to remove the vital ingredient on health grounds.

I agree, Hopkirk.  Aldi's cling film used to be very good now it is absolute rubbish.

I now buy Bacofoil's cling film after trying numerous supermarket own brands - it is superior but of course costs more.  Cheapest outlet I can find for it is The Range

wolf, neither side of the very last bit has any stick at all, the texture is noticeably different

Hopkirk has the correct answer.  There was a change to the chemicals used in its manufacture.

Bin bags is another thing that has been changed to make them more kind to the planet. 

We don't have wheelie bins and all waste has to go to a hub outside Tesco.  I need to at least double bag the rubbish to make sure it does disintegrate on the way across the road.

I stored some items in plastic carriers in the loft a few years ago.  When I went up to retrieve them the bags had completely degraded to tiny pieces of fluff.  

My brother bought two pairs of slippers in a sale and put one pair away in the wardrobe.  The soles were just a pile of 'ash' in the bottom of the shoe box when he next opened it.  The ones he had been wearing just had normal wear.
