The supermarket brand was awful. So I have my MIL bring Sainsbury's cheapo brand when she comes over. Perhaps I just had a bad batch. Or two?
I think some of the brands that used to stick pretty well were reformulated because they contained a chemical that mimics estrogen and they were thought to possibly cause health problems in some small percentage of the population. So I don't know of any cling wrap in the US that works anymore. Maybe the UK wrap still contains the chemicals that let the cling wrap cling.
