Image shows a box of Parafilm with an almost circular arrow going clockwise from the right side of the Parafilm to the left. At the top is the text "The Parafilm Cycle". Below the Parafilm box within the arrow is the text "There is only one Film". Below the arrow is the text "and it is Para", with is being in italics and underlined

It's still so weird to me that the M on these boxes is different than the M that's on the actual boxes of Parafilm

Tag yourself, I'm thermoplastic
Close up for the part of a Parafilm box that lists all its properties:
"Parafilm M is: Flexible, moldable, self-sealing, odorless, moisture-resistant, thermoplastic, semitransparent, practically colorless"

I only want to do one thing with a time machine, and it's to give Parafilm to the ancient Egyptians. I think they would truly appreciate long sheets of water-proof material that you wrap things in.

The most accursed Parafilm fact is that the M on the box is almost identical to one written in bold italicised Comic Sans

Asking the real, important questions!
White background with text and drawings of two pieces of Parafilm wearing pants, one going vertically and out of the top and bottom of the frame with the pants covering the lower part of it, the other going horizontal and out of the left and right of the frame with the pants covering the bottom of half of it.
The text reads "If Parafilm wore pants would it wear them like this or like this"

Personally, I feel like it's less that Parafilm isn't dishwasher safe, and more that dishwashers aren't Parafilm safe

How I wish you and your emails would find me:
A drawn schematic of an experimental setup involving a fish in a tank with multiple in and outlets and tubes. The fish only just fits inside the tank. The fish is labelled Me, while a funnel in the setup leading directly to the fish is labelled as Parafilm

Family enjoying a picnic on a blanket made of flesh, unknown artist, c. 1990 (colorized)
Three different sizes of boxes of Parafilm, a beaker, and two flasks on a rolled out extra wide roll of Parafilm. The roll can be seen the background and the boxes have Parafilm sticking out of them. The beaker and flasks are sealed with parafilm and has bright red liquid in them. One of the flasks is knocked over to show that the Parafilm keeps the liquid contained.

Fun fact! Did you know you? The phrase "wrapping up" comes from the tradition of wrapping your plates in Parafilm to keep them moist before leaving the lab for the day! Follow for more untrue Parafilm facts!

Look, all I want to do is go back in time and show Zeno of Elea Parafilm. I think he would have some interesting thoughts on a neverending object. Buuuut no, I'm not allowed to use the time machine because "the high risk of paradoxes", as if that isn't exactly what that dude was all about 🙄

No, they are related families. Their long-tingolytic activity is the ancestral condition. In Parafilmases the sharpness motif was duplicated and specialised

Hey, are you really old? Then you might remember that time the governor of Wisconsin wanted to make Parafilm exclusive to the state's farmers, because Wisconsin is a parody of itself when it comes to cheese
Scan of typewritten document. The texts reads:
"New Products and International Markets:

During the Depression the Marathon Company continued to carry on
research to improve existing products and, hopefully, to find new ones.
By 1936 the company had begun production of parafilm, a rubber-coated cellophane wrapping paper for cheese. Governor Philip La Follette in 1936 wanted the State Department of Agriculture to buy the patent rights and thus give Wisconsin farmers sole access to the parafilm. The signing of a contract with the Borden Company in 1936 cancelled the Governor’s plan. By March of 1937 there were sixty-eight applications from foreign agents for parafilm rights outside the United States."

Ah, while those do have Parafilmolytic activity and are related to them, they aren't true Parafilmases, but non-specific long-thingases

Time to report a classic:
A 4 by 4 grid of boxes of Parafilm seen from the side on a white background. The image of each box has been cut up and shuffled around so that it spells out different words. The words are also spelled out underneath each box. From the top left, going left to right: Parafilm, papapa, rarara, filmfilmfilm, pafilm, rapafilm, rrrrrrrr, rapraprap, raffarpapa, fifififi, lllllllra, ilmpppra, parappa, pafiralm, railrail, pffffffff

You: please act normal, you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me: Parafilm is a semi-transparent, flexible film composed of a blend of waxes and polyolefins. It is a non-toxic, tasteless, odorless, and self-sealing thermoplastic, which can be stretched up to 200%

A Venn diagram with three circles: Stretchable, plastic, and peelable. Stretchable has a cat, plastic has a plastic bottle, peelable has a banana, stretchable + plastic has a slinky, plastic + peelable has scotch tape, peelable + stretchable has a diagram of skin, and the overlap between all three has a box of Parafilm
