Yes, I've been doing some calculations related to the surface area of a typical hot dog or HAMBURGER wrapper, coming in at 85 x 100mm, the relative wind velocity, humidity and track width.

According to my calculations, it will take 6.761 x 10E5 fans to release enough wrappers to cause issues tonight. The prevailing wind coming in from the west 'sou west is only at 6.7meter/sec and with the high humidity, the paper is going to absorb .35g of moisture from the CONTENTS and be TOO HEAVY for this wind level.

Another factor is that 66% of food vendors at this facility use FOIL wrappers for their food, thus, the crumpled foil actually becomes a ball of aluminum, suitable for tossing into the trash..

NO Wrapper-Effect tonight!!
