What ever happened to the Saran Quick covers Large and Extra large don't see any at all are great to use made by Johnson?

Answer 1

Saran, a Canadian company I think, discontinued the Quick Covers a number of years ago. People wrote the company and I believe were told the product was discontinued because it was not a good seller. I think it wasn't a good seller for a couple of reasons: 1. It's a good product. Too good, maybe. They were washable and reusable, so those who did purchase and use them, recycled instead of immediately purchasing additional boxes. 2. The company did not market this product as well as they could have, in my opinion. I remember seeing commercials for them and wondering who the heck would need to save half a watermelon. They didn't allow enough time for this item to really catch on before they discontinued it. Quick Covers were not cheap, either. And using them to cover leftovers seemed really wasteful. But what I (and many others) found when purchasing a sampler box is how wonderful they really are, especially for items that are repeatedly uncovered/recovered, such as holiday goodie trays, snacks, picnic foods, etc. They worked great for leftovers, too. I rarely used plastic wrap or foil because of Quick Covers. I also used them as covers for my small kitchen appliances, rarely used china, and even starting seedlings. A few copycat products are available, but none are the quality and ease of use that Quick Covers were. I have yet to see any extra large by any maker. This was my favorite size, perfect for large trays of goodies, party food, etc.
