Oh, I know how nice that stuff is! My parents used to have a restaurant and before they sold it I stocked up on a few key items, including the industrial strength wrap. It's been 9 years since it was sold, and I still have enough of that and aluminum foil for probably another 19 years. My wife curses about the foil every time she uses it because the box probably weights 12-15 pounds

If it's that much of an issue for the in-flight crews to remove, shouldn't other packaging options be evaluated?
