And you can reuse them, especially for something like this.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Just get the ones with the zip seal
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Can’t. The sealable part has gaffer tape on it
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Note the French on the bag. The frogs wouldn’t know good texmex if it erected a massive fence
There is no other choice!
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Make your own as needed? They’re really easy to make, and much better fresh.
RGB3x3@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m planning to move to Europe within the next 5-8 years and I know absolutely that I’m going to miss authentic Mexican food.
And I’m doubtful there’s much for Caribbean food too, which is saddening because it’s so good.

As a defender of Tex-Mex as a legitimate fusion cuisine, can confirm that the Europeans do terrible things to Tex-Mex. You may think you’re over margaritas, chili powder, refried beans, yellow cheese, and salsa roja, but you will change your tune when confronted with odd vodka concoctions, paprika (and precious little of that), crunchy half raw white beans, mozzarella, and water-thinned ketchup.
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Texmex requires cheese not naturally made in France.
brap@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Easiest way unless you’re planning on eating all 8.
Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Price went up and we decreased the count downto 6 for your convenience.
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 11 months ago
Don’t have them here.
ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That looks too glossy to be gaffer’s tape, and I’ve never seen gaffers tape in gray, usually always black. That looks more like duct tape.
IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Came here to say exactly this. Gaff tape is made out of a cotton cloth material. This is clearly plastic, so duct tape, which is very different.
LesserAbe@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I too came to comment on the tape. This would definitely leave a sticky residue if the tortillas are not consumed quickly.
MSugarhill@feddit.de 11 months ago
Looks exactly like what I bought as gaffer and have at home.
wombatula@lemm.ee 11 months ago
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaffer_tape
No, it’s duct tape. If you bought gaffer tape that looks like the tape in the image, it was mislabeled or misadvertised, gaffer tape is made of different material and is not usually shiny, because light reflection would not be a good thing for what it is used for.

Then you got ripped off.
isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
???
Every tortilla pack I’ve ever bought came in a zipper-resealable bag.
GhostMatter@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Eh, pas les petites tortillas “traditionnelles” au maïs.
dlhextall@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Non, mais le sac a assez de lousse pour être quand refermé hermétiquement. Pas besoin de fucking tape lol.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s duck tape, and you wouldn’t have to if you bought decent tortillas like Guerrero instead of Old El Paso.
Candelestine@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Duct. Duck is a brand name, sealing gaps in ductwork is one of the things its really good at and happens to be the same color of, to blend into.
But yes, ops tortillas are not the best.
arquebus_x@kbin.social 11 months ago
Duct. Duck is a brand name
Yes. But also mostly no.
Wikipedia:
"Duck tape" is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary as having been in use since 1899 and "duct tape" (described as "perhaps an alteration of earlier duck tape") since 1965
and:
In 1971, Jack Kahl bought the Anderson firm and renamed it Manco. In 1975, Kahl rebranded the duct tape made by his company. Because the previously used generic term "duck tape" had fallen out of use, he was able to trademark the brand "Duck Tape" and market his product complete with a yellow cartoon duck logo. Manco chose the term "Duck", the tape's original name, as "a play on the fact that people often refer to duct tape as 'duck tape'", and as a marketing differentiation to stand out against other sellers of duct tape.
People should really do the bare minimum double-check before showing their whole ass.
PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Duct tape, as in the grey fiber reinforced tape that we typically think of, is not really a good solution for actually taping ducts.
When you are taping ducts, you typically want to use some type of foil thing, like this, but there are many varieties.
Of course, tape for ducts is, kinda, duct tape by definition.
SexyVetra@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The popular form of duct tape doesn’t have similar rates of expansion/contraction to ductwork making it a bad choice for ducts.
Not as bad as op’s tortilla choice, though.
Steve@startrek.website 11 months ago
Akshully, the tape was originally called “duck tape” because it was made from a fabric called “cotton duck canvas”
Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
It’s named after the fabric, cotton duck.
Diplomjodler@feddit.de 11 months ago
Here in Europe the choice is pretty limited.
Nighed@sffa.community 11 months ago
These are the premium brand near me 🫤
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The fact that it’s overpriced doesn’t mean that it’s good.
brygphilomena@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Weird rage bait post.
- Title that misidentifies something in the pic.
- Pointless infuriation
- No follow up comments from OP
- Impossible solution
Besides, how would they open the “resealed” tortilla bag without the tape ripping the flimsy plastic?
drphungky@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, my immediate thought was wondering why this manufactured content is here. Maybe a repost bot from Reddit where accounts with karma can be sold for disinfo?
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I wish I could overthink things as much as you two paranoid wrecks 😂😂😂
LufyCZ@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Knife, scissors, stuff like that probably
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This is very confusing to me. Do ziplocks not exist where you live?
Madison420@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They do, the bags are made as cheap as possible so if you open them more than once the plastic under the zip starts stretching and then tears making a bag with a large hole.
Happens to me lots since I can’t control my hands as well as I aught to.
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Gallon freezer bags. Thick, durable, reusable for a long time.
mp3@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I have some large zipper bags that are specifically made to be washed and reused for that kind of stuff.
geophysicist@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
Maybe don’t buy the super cheap ones then. I’ve never experienced that problem
Bricked@lemdro.id 11 months ago
Zip Loc my dude
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s duct tape

That’s what she said 😉
ultratiem@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
guyrocket@kbin.social 11 months ago
The ones I buy come in bags with a zip seal so I find this puzzling.
You could also lose the plastic and put them in a glass, metal or silicone storage. I am doing this more now that plastic appears to be killing us.
zeppo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve used various household tapes like that on food packages and it’s a bad idea, imo, as they end up absorbing some volatile chemicals from the adhesive.
rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social 11 months ago
I'm in the US and a lot of quality, locally made tortillas come in bags with a twist tie. I just fold/roll them over and put them in the cabinet. I also eat about three or four a day, they are my bread.

Twist and tuck
fushuan@lemm.ee 11 months ago
All the people mentioning zip locks and shit. I don’t get how you do your daily decision making stuff but if I open one of those, the rest goes into a bowl of milk for breakfast.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Why do you have to? Who’s forcing you to duct tape the tortillas? Should we call the police?
Diplomjodler@feddit.de 11 months ago
They were asking for it.
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Tortilla fetish
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 11 months ago
They dry up, if not in the shitty plastic bag you can only cut to open.
