“I remember watching the Waltons once and being surprised that John boy had his sandwiches wrapped in folded wax paper. I didn’t realize at the time that that was all that was available!”
I love wax paper.
I used it for my kidslunches back in the 60s and 70s——never plastic bags——and I still use it.
I detest plastic sandwich bags.

You know, I hadn’t thought about it until I saw your post. Plastics, and especially heating food in plastics, is possibly adding chemicals to our food. So wouldn’t plastic bags and plastic wrap be the same? I’ll bet waxed paper doesn’t have those same issues.
What kind of things do you use wax paper for. I am probably not appreciating it as much as I should. I did compare the prices once, and per square inch it is cheaper than either foil or plastic wrap.
