Two nice things I noted about the plastic wrap is that
1) You can see through it. (not important but I like to see it)
2) When finished, throw it way.

It's amazing how many people have a solution for this little problem (other
than Lum's solution of cleaning it up) and yet I have not seen many (any)
posts on it. Then again maybe I missed them. I am sure some of the others
out there have solutions to other little problems that the rest of us have
not thought of. Let's post them!
