And you can reuse them, especially for something like this.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Just get the ones with the zip seal
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Can’t. The sealable part has gaffer tape on it
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
Make your own as needed? They’re really easy to make, and much better fresh.
RGB3x3@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
Texmex requires cheese not naturally made in France.
brap@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Easiest way unless you’re planning on eating all 8.
Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Price went up and we decreased the count downto 6 for your convenience.
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 year ago
Don’t have them here.
ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago
Looks exactly like what I bought as gaffer and have at home.
wombatula@lemm.ee 1 year 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.
_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Then you got ripped off.
isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
???
Every tortilla pack I’ve ever bought came in a zipper-resealable bag.
GhostMatter@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Eh, pas les petites tortillas “traditionnelles” au maïs.
dlhextall@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Non, mais le sac a assez de lousse pour être quand refermé hermétiquement. Pas besoin de fucking tape lol.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago
Akshully, the tape was originally called “duck tape” because it was made from a fabric called “cotton duck canvas”
Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
It’s named after the fabric, cotton duck.
Diplomjodler@feddit.de 1 year ago
Here in Europe the choice is pretty limited.
Nighed@sffa.community 1 year ago
These are the premium brand near me 🫤
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The fact that it’s overpriced doesn’t mean that it’s good.
brygphilomena@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago
I wish I could overthink things as much as you two paranoid wrecks 😂😂😂
LufyCZ@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Knife, scissors, stuff like that probably
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 1 year ago
This is very confusing to me. Do ziplocks not exist where you live?
Madison420@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
Gallon freezer bags. Thick, durable, reusable for a long time.
mp3@lemmy.ca 1 year 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 1 year ago
Maybe don’t buy the super cheap ones then. I’ve never experienced that problem
Bricked@lemdro.id 1 year ago
Zip Loc my dude
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s duct tape
intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 year ago
That’s what she said 😉
ultratiem@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
guyrocket@kbin.social 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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.

First world problems
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Why do you have to? Who’s forcing you to duct tape the tortillas? Should we call the police?
Diplomjodler@feddit.de 1 year ago
They were asking for it.
Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Tortilla fetish
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 year ago
They dry up, if not in the shitty plastic bag you can only cut to open.
