Conflex Wraps Potatoes – 2 Ways
Most people have seen shrink wrapped potatoes in stores only to scratch their heads and say “that’s not how Mom used to buy them”. It’s true that life has changed a lot since the onset of convenience packaging. The lowly potato has risen to new heights! You can still purchase a 5 lb. bag of random generic potatoes but the shrink wrapped version has put the potato on a pedestal. When wrapped these potatoes sell for 4X the price!
